📋 About This Mod

This mod adds one new fruit tree, the Kola Tree, and six (Fully Animated!!) machines via Producer Framework Mod which produce over two hundred artisanal sodas made from fruit! You can purchase the recipes to make the soda machine from Gus, and the pump from Robin.

The machines are:

  • []Pump - Automatically pumps Fresh Water from the ground on placement. Must be placed outside. It takes several hours to produce, but produces five bottles of Fresh Water at a time.

    []Carbonator - Makes Sparkling Water from 1 Fresh Water + 2 Coal. You can also make Flavored Sparkling Water from 1 Sparkling Water + 1 Fruit

  • []Artisanal Soda Maker - Makes fruit sodas from 1 Sparkling Water + 1 Sugar + 1 Fruit

    []Cream Soda Maker - Makes cream sodas from 1 Sparkling Water + 1 Sugar + 1 Fruit + 1 Vanilla Extract

    []Syrup Maker - Makes syrup from 1 Fruit + 1 Sugar

    []Cola Maker -  Makes caffeinated beverages from 1 Fruit Syrup + 1 Sparkling Water + 1 Kola Nut

    There are also a few secret recipes:

    • []Sugary Syrup - In the Syrup Maker, input 3 Sugar

      []Artisan Cola - In the Cola Maker, add 1 Sugary Syrup + 1 Kola Nut + 1 Sparkling Water

      []Diet Cola- In the Cola Maker, add 1 Flavored Sparkling Water + 1 Kola Nut

      []Vanilla Cola - In the Cola Maker, add 1 Vanilla Extract + 1 Kola Nut + 1 Sparkling Water + 1 Sugary Syrup

      []Weeds Honey In the Cola Maker, add 1 Fiber + 1 Honey (this is a joke item, based on an old bug that used to mess with JA items)

      Troubleshooting:

      • []The recipes to make each soda machine can be purchased Gus.

        []Make sure you're using two coal on your Carbonator to produce your sparkling water.

        []Before submitting a bug report, double check that you have the proper version installed and all its dependencies. Always delete old folders before updating your content mods!

      If you encounter any bugs that you cannot fix through troubleshooting, please submit a bug report and Shads will get back to you ASAP.

      Now go forth and undermine Joja Cola with your fresh, overpriced, hipster goodness. (◕ᴗ◕✿)
