Appetite Booster for more efficient taming

Summary
Faster taming!

Description
Greatly boosts the appetite (reduces the food level). There are two version, one for targets that are fed forcefully and one version most effective on targets that need to be tamed peacefully.
The mod also includes a portable Appetizer Mixing Station that allows to produce Appetizers more effeciently (more appetizers for less berries).
The Hunger Potion (crafted in Appetizer Mixing Station) is a super strong appetizer, it makes extremely hungry!

Compatibility
Clean and stackable mod. Does not change any existing items, only adds additional items.

How to use it
  • Produce the Appetite Enhancer Mixture (Engram) by mixing the required berries together
  • Feed the mixture directly to a target, via remote use in its inventory or the way peacefully tamed creatures are fed

Note on crafting
The berry mixture made for peaceful taming is made of Mejoberries. So when using other recipes that need Mejoberries, this mixture can (and will) be used as Mejoberry replacement too, should you have no Mejoberries in your inventory at the time and start crafting something that would need them. To avoid that, place Mejoberries into your inventory (before the mixture, either on the row above or in a slot to the left of it).

What's the effect?
The target will quickly gain appetite (i.e. lose Food). This can be very useful during the taming process. The more hungry the creature is, the quicker it will eat its taming food and the faster the taming process is.
Note: When taming a target peacefully, it will take 2-3 times feeding the peaceful mixture before you start noticing the effect. Make sure to alternate feeding it normal berries too, or you'll run out of mixture very fast!
The appetizer (forceful) does work on Carnivores and Herbivores. The peaceful appetizer does work on Herbivores (Carnivores won't be interested in berries, I suppose) :)

Future Updates:
I will be adding an appetizer for passive taming of Coprophagic.

Console commands
To spawn it into the game via console instead of crafting it use the console commands found here:

Optional Configuration possibility
If you would like, you can adjust some of the Mod parameters via entries in your GameUserSettings.ini file (found in your saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor folder for singlePlayer):
[DJCMod/AppetiteBooster] ForceFoodComsumptionMultiplier=8.0 ForceFoodComsumptionBuffLength=30.0

Feedback
Please let me know what you think about the balance between strength of item and cost of production.

Mod works. But the Hunger Potion seems a bit overpowered. Can just as well just use "Cheat DoTame". But the rest of the potions seems nice.

The Passive spoiled meat doesn't seem to work for Basilosaurs and Ichthyosaurs. It doesn't recognise it as a valid food item.

Die Hunger Potion ist viel zu stark, (1Pilz,3Appetizer,2Stimulanzen)13000 hunger auf schlag weg... es würde mich freuen, wenn es da eine Einsetllungsmöglichkeit geben würde, wie viel welcher Appetizer genau bringt

@DJC :: I have 1 reason and 1 bug found.
REQUEST :: could you please make the 2 types of meat also craftable from within the crafting bowl? using it craftable on self is nice, but not always usefull when you are pre-planing. would love to be able to run around gathering, while it's crafting in the bowl.

BUG :: sometimes when you have some of the "infused meat " on your char, and craft more, it uses the infused mean as a resource to make the infused meat. I think you have the mod pointing as the child of another resource but not sure. as long as you don't have any infused mean in inventory when starting to craft, don't see the issue.

I notice you haven't updated this mod since 2016, if you are not able to adjust/fix this mod, I'll happily fix it and make future adjustments for the new dinos within Aberation if you could share the source code with me, and I'll happily give you credit for it. just let me know as i would prefer that over rebuidling the mod from scratch.
thx

You use it like food. Put in on your quickbar on slot 0 and approche the passive tame and press E.
