Rebalanced Crock Pot

Description
This is basically just a port of a Don't Starve Together mod that I thought was super neat and needed to exist for the base game. So credit goes to 'Terotrous', the guy who made this: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=378272573

One problem that I keep having that bugs me to no end is that, after a point, I always have too much food. Despite being the name of the game, starvation is almost never a problem, and I always end up having a bunch of food that I'll never be able to eat just rotting away in my ice box, which is sad, because I always get a bit anxious when I feel like I'm wasting things.

So, basically, this mod changes the values of some foods around to make them more representitive of how hard they are to get.
A full list of the changed food values can be found in the mod's file folder, in the file called "New Food Table.txt", but here's some of the bigger changes (from the original mod page):

- Meatballs now only recover 37.5 hunger, the same as most other cooked foods, which is a little over half what it used to be. This is by far the most significant change as it means that staying well fed in the early game now takes a lot more effort. This also means that Kabobs are a viable alternative now, as they recover the same amount and can use a twig as filler, though they cook slower.

- Fishsticks now only recovers 20 health. It's still good, but no longer outclasses all other healing recipes. Note that Fish Tacos have been buffed, and now recover more hunger than Fishsticks, but don't restore as much health.


- Bacon and Eggs now recovers only 50 hunger. It's still a very strong recipe, but you'll either need more of it or to suppliment it with Pierogis to avoid starvation in Winter. Pierogis are inferior to Bacon and Eggs, but can be made with cheaper ingredients.

- All "dessert" type foods now recover more sanity than they used to. Everything that involves honey is considered a dessert, as are the Butter Muffin and Fruit Medley.

- Fruit Medley is one of the most worthless recipes in the base game, it will almost always recover vastly less than the sum of its components. It now recovers 40 health instead of 20 and also recovers 15 sanity. This is a great use for those durians since Fruit Medley allows twigs.

- In case you were thinking that you'd just forego the crock pot altogether and survive off foraging, berries, carrots, and seeds now also recover less hunger than they used to. Berries in particular are now nearly worthless apart from as filler ingredients. You're going to want to get that crock pot up and running ASAP.

- Ditto for hunting. Koalefants and Beefalo now drop less meat than before, largely to prevent Meaty Stew from dominating all other recipes. Incidentally, Meaty Stew now only heals 100 hunger instead of 150, but it's still the heartiest recipe.

For the truly psychotic, there's now a configuration option that lowers all hunger values by one tier, so 50 becomes 37.5, 37.5 becomes 25, and so on.

why this exist?? i tought mods that arent the uncompromising mod were only supposed to do good stuff!!

This mod breaks Beefalo in my game, I wouldn't recommend using it until it's updated (judging by the date, alas probably never). It's a shame, because I liked the added early game difficulty very much.

does this mod work with CraftPot? If not, do you think I can remove that one and add this one without hurting my save file?

+Vuohi its a port from DST, and theres no "DS" version to DST just the "DS+RoG"

Whyis this compatible with RoG only?

Thank you, finally somebody made this instead of thee thousands of mods that only serve to make the game easier. It's sad that after building the crock pot on day 3, actual starvation almost never a problem again - such a glaring issue of the game that goes unnoticed.
My favorite season is the first winter when I actual feel like Im playing a survival game.

Any idia what workshop number this is?

Edit: Found it 394469623. I had it written down for DST and checked it to see what files i could search to find it.

One of the most balanced mods out there, love it!

So, is this rework only for RoG? It's got the DS box crossed out on my mods page.
