📋 About This Mod

-= Bon Appétit! =-

Grilled radroach? Mutant hound chops? Sliced molerat? If you have a gag reflex as you're reading this because you had to made those way too often in your playthrough then fret not, this little mod will help you out. It adds a healthy collection of new food and drink items you can craft immediately as soon as you leave the vault - provided you have all the ingredients at hand, and sometimes it requires you to find out that it actually exists.

-= About this mod =-

Commonwealth Buff-Et adds both a list of tasty treats and a few extra aid items which should have been in the vanilla game in the first place (imho :-P). It also makes a few other items more useful in the game, especially for players who enjoy playing in survival mode.

Current item count:

181 new items

40 modifed items from the vanilla game

And before anyone asks: NO, I will NOT make a version with all recipes unlocked by default! The recipes are not hard to acquire, you can get them all before even reaching level 20 without any issues (did that twice now and it was a lot of fun). If you cannot be bothered to actually play the game in order to get a little reward I cannot be bothered to help you.

With that out of the way, here's the list of what's on the menu:

Tier 0 (basic components)

- You can now craft cooking oil for your kitchen. Requires either gourd or mirelurk meat, a cooking station, and a rank of 2 in Science!

- Meat Marinade. Requires cooking oil, soap (or chalk) and acid. An important cooking ingredient, but in an emergency you can also "drink" it to remove a big load of RADs and even cure parasite infections in survival mode - but the mixture won't be good for both your HP and your thirst level ...

- Raw Brahmin milk. Yep, you can get milk from your Brahmin now. Just place the milk collector barrel (resources->food category inworkshop mode) in your settlement and every evening you'll get some raw milk (depends on the amount of Brahmin you have).

Tier 1 (the cheap, light HP-only stuff you can easily craft right from the start. Value up to 25 caps)

- Molerat Bacon

- Canned radroach

- razorgrain bread / corn bread

- Brahmin milk

- Tato Risotto

- Commonwealth Cram Can

- Roasted Fish

- Grilled Corn

- Carrot Kebab

- Boston Ice Tea

- Radchicken Egg Omelette

- Molerat Soup

- Molerat Stew

- Iron Ration

- Barrel Cactus Fruit

- Nevada Agave Fruit

- Emergency Drinking Water

- Fish Soup

- Minutemen MRE

- Mutt Sticks

- Bone Soup

Tier 2 (Fast food - restores HP (and/or AP) within
