about candle,perfume,soap
why not make them consumable for the colonists instead just selling them

I think the black garlic is "curing" my pawns of their scarification 😂 working as intended I suppose!

Oh thank you, this will help the growing meat piles wonderfully.

These are the caravans and settlements that are patched to buy artisan goods: https://github.com/juanosarg/AlphaCrafts/blob/main/1.6/Patches/MerchantPatch.xml

Is it normal that no settlements want to buy certain goods? like none of them want the berry tea bags or gravy

Sorry, I don't do medieval. Someone else would have to do some patching

Hi there! uwu

Apologies if this has already been asked, I just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying the game/mod! I'm currently doing a fun little artisan-themed medieval run where they make candles and soap hehe.

That said, I’ve noticed a few things I can’t seem to craft without power. I was wondering if there’s any workaround or medieval-friendly version for certain recipes? For example, I wasn’t able to find machines or tools for things like liquor, vinegar, pickles, or kombucha.

I’ve been using the tooltips a lot, but I didn’t see any machines listed when trying to make those items. It’s possible they’re part of another machine I missed, there are so many mods for medieval content that I tried using God Mode to check each unpowered machine, but still couldn’t figure it out.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks again for all your hard work <3 ( works fine on non medieval runs, just curious about medieval verison)

Not easily

I don't know if that has been asked about before, but would it be possible to limit trade requests to things I am actually able to craft? Like, not get asked about chutney when I haven't even unlocked complex artisinal crafting yet?

@Sarg Bjornson Easy, Chemshine, vegetables, wastebags.....ok fine and some spice.

Oil press, just read the infographics, they are thorough

Which station produces perfume I don’t see it in bills

I'm good! I had to set the field as a "flower field" but I didnt put in the mods until after playing with this (fantastic!) mod first! So I played with this mod, had default growing fields, didn't see the floral ones when I applied VE Plants lol

Thank you, while I do have all these mods installed, the only option I have when a flower is fully grown is to "cut" it, but that does not give me what I need to produce the perfurme. In this case I grew a field of Plumeria.

You need VE Plants - More Plants

How do I get flower ingredients? Like berries and dye work for perfume but there's floral botanicals I could use , I dont' know how to produce those as the flowers are not harvested, but if they're cut they don't produce anything.

It always appears on lists of "weird things people eat around the world" lol

Not sure how it could be Rimworldfied.... Using mushrooms to make it?

@Guns22

I know what Vegemite is from a song that plays on FM radio all the time, "I Come from a Land Down Under."

@Sarg Bjornson

Well, I don't blame ya for being unfamiliar with it. I only discovered that Vegemite existed because it was featured in a FNAF-themed cooking video. According to Google, it's made of recycled brewing yeast extract, vegetables, and spices. The Australians love it as a food spread, for some reason.

I'm not very familiar with Vegemite, besides its reputation. What is it made of, exactly?

@Sarg Bjornson yes it is under the normal cooking/drug tabs i believe. One of those two structures has the bill for it.

@gunns22 (Vomits) He's trying to kill us all!!! Besides this is mostly an "artisanal" mod so most factory scop I would imagine be for another place.

Lol yeah? Sadly, I do not see Vegemite (or a copyright-free requirement) anywhere on the list of products players can craft and sell to the masses. Any plans for that, @Sarg Bjornson?

I love that reference.

@Sarg Bjornson

The words "Vegemite" and "death" should mean the same to these pirates. Do you understand?

But you can turn night milk into normal milk, can't you? I'm asking because I might have forgotten to add a recipe

i get a quest to make yogurt , i ranch night chargers from alpha animals , cant use night milk to make yogurt ;-;

Great mod, nice change of pace from peddling bushels of yayo every quadrum. Didn't want to use this on my previous combat-centric run, but this time it's a great addition for my trade ship Odyssey run.

The valuation tips are such a huge QOL feature so I can make informed choices about my opportunity costs. And I haven't even loaded any of the other VE mods on my current run.

May your gods grant you the strength to endure gamer comments.

Exactly

@Serf Could you check your cheese presses? It has similar code functions and if it isnt working then you have a mod conflict.
Otherwise click on fermenter (choose quality + begin loading ingredient) then a new hauling job is created where you can click on either the item or the fementer again to prioritize the hauled item.

How do I get the Artisan Fermenter to function? I start a process to turn rice into vinegar, but nothing happens. I can't prioritize a colonist to work on it either. Just want to see if I'm missing something.

So vanilla is in some stupid "flower grow zone" that is a copy of the normal grow zone? Just use the farming zone form the original game. There's no wonder I couldn't find it, then! I have been looking for where to grow vanilla for a long, LONG time!

They are all children. I want Robin

o.O I think you're secretly in love with Elliot... (Even though Sebastian is clearly the better choice)

nah flower grow zone is a good idea. if it were me, id have a dedicated zone for every type of plant cuz theres just so god damn many.

@TurtleShroom: I consider anyone who mentions "bloat" to be a buffoon. Do you wanna be one?

@Hunni

That's called margarine, which is a substitute made from vegetable oil, although some margarines have buttermilk it.

@Aluxxen simple...VE plants expanded, VE brewing, and VE more plants give you either a direct growing plant for said recipe in normal grow zones or requires to plant a flower grow zone from the orders tab.

How do I grow the alpha crafts flowers? Like lavendar and such, for the specialty tea satchets? I cannot for the life of me figure it out

@catstronaut What

dont do my husband elliot like that lol. Great mod

pls make soap a condiment

This mod taught me that a form of butter can be made from fresh sweet corn that is used as a vegan alternative.

No, it is a custom system. You can see the formulas used on the mod's GitHub page

@Consecutive by the nature of the beast...no. Variable yields depend on the cooking skill of the colonist and considering that Tynan's team updated Rimworlds skill system a few years back lvl8 is now considered the full 100% marker.

Hmm that is interesting....that should be either the cooking skill or your pressing corn oil from the artisanal bench instead of the oil press. As that has a 40% efficiency cap in oils, butter, and jams.
Also 55silver in (10)corn => 100 silver in (10)oil = 45 silver profit!!! Not including the uh...actual trading buffs/debuffs that happen in game.

I'm on 1.5 btw, dunno if that matters

I've seen the spreadsheet, perhaps I'm just a bit slow but I don't think I understand. For oil, 5.50 ingredient value equates to 1 oil. Corn = 1.1 therefore 50 corn = 55 value which should be 10 oil, at least as far as I understand it, but I only get 4 oil.

Smokeleaf = 1.6 value, 50 smokeleaf = 80 therefore smokeleaf should yield 14 (or 15, I dont know how these recipes deal with rounding numbers), but I get 10

I may be misunderstanding how it works so please let me know.

@Moo: Thanks again, you are the MVP

@Aluxxen: Culprit is the mod that adds "FuelGen_Ambience", that one is not mine

@Consecutive: I have a spreadsheet, you can see it there.

For recipes that have variable yields based on the ingredients used, is there a way to see the yield before crafting it.
For example in the case of oil, making it with corn yields 4, using smokeleaf gives 10, is there a way to see this without actually crafting it?

Awesome mod btw.

Hi,
It seems the Artisan Fermenter won't dispense vinegar once it is brewed. It's at 100%, it has a valid storage spot, but colonists won't collect it and it doesn't drop on the floor like a brewing barrel would.

My log is spammed with the following two messages. It finally stopped the log bc it reached the character limit lol. I suspect this is the thing name?
