Hey! Did you know that you can make custom types of Meat be counted as Insect Meat by the game, complete with the Precepts and Memes applying to it?

Simply add the following code into your Thing Def at the root level:

This will allow custom Mods and the "Ideology" Expansion Pack to have Pawns react to eating bugs correctly!

(Make sure to add the "MAYREQUIRE" field. That way, you don't have to require players to own the "Ideology" Expansion Pack.)

Appreciate that, I literally just uploaded it as it was so I could continue my game haha. I am going to look into this I am by no means an expert at xml.
I did kinda avoid this intentionally though.. as this mod is for hardcore survival I was basically thinking that instead of the pawn getting mad it had to eat it instead the pawn understands that it kinda has too.

If this is HARDCORE survival, then that makes it even MORE realistic. No one wants to eat raw bugs dug out of steel ore.

Fair but the concept obviously didnt think that when you mine a mountain you get 100% ore... rather dirt etc but yea I will look into it
