Player Food Table

Mod ID: 2933184426

Adds a QoL structure to automatically feed nearby players (so long as there are cooked meats in it) for when you are just working around your base. The food items that the table accepts are: Cooked Fish, Cooked Prime Fish, Cooked Meat, Cooked Prime Meat (and preserving salt).

Engram is learnable at level 12 and costs 0 points. Every 60 seconds, the table checks if your food is low enough to be restored, then uses the food in the table to give you a buff that restores food. The food restored is based on how low your food is and what kind of food is in the table. When possible, it uses the best food in the table as long as your food is low enough to not waste any of the item's food value. For example, it will never use cooked prime if you are only missing 15 food.

The table places a small icon over your food on your HUD when you are in range of the table. Default range is ~15 foundations radius.

The table is crafted in your inventory and requires the same resources as a normal feeding table, but using flint instead of raw metal. The table increases also spoil time by 5x, so food in the table lasts much longer.

Spawn command:
cheat gfi humanfeed 1 0 0

A mod mostly meant for my group, off of a suggestion. It's my first real mod, so please be respectful!

Works great with my other QoL mod, the Player Water Fountain:

Update on future plans:
As this mod is in a functional state that I am happy with, it will likely no longer receive any updates or changes besides any bugfixing. Partly because any changes would only make minor improvements overall, but also because of the upcoming remaster of ARK. Removing the dev kit would save a ton of drive space, and I would prefer to make the enhancements and changes for that, assuming it doesn't launch into a crash and burn.
