New Scripts:
This is my first time creating brand new scripts and they've been tested so far without issue, but if you have any problems with them, let me know. I don't go out of my way to track or integrate with other creator's mods, but please report if you come across any game-breaking conflicts so I can address them.

You need the cookbook to cook recipes - it comes with the the Core Food & Drinks file - check out the download page on my site for details. You can also check out the info at the following link to get an idea of which files you need to use which type of content: https://www.patreon.com/posts/about-my-content-94137914

I may be missing something but I just paid for a membership. However, I cannot access the cookbook. Do I need to upgrade my membership in order to access the cookbook? Or do I not need to cookbook to use the foods?

when are the perserving racking going to be updated?
LightsMeAction
Hi! it appears I am missing the perserving rack, is it included in the crafting core mod or something seperate?
BrazenLotus
Please review the instructions in the 'Install & Troubleshoot' section of the Collections section above. If you used the downloads folder also be sure to review the instructions in the 'Patreon Info' section for the Downloads Folder.
Shayla
has anyone been able to touch their woodworking table?
BrazenLotus
Yes. Anything on Curseforge should be the same version as what's available here but if something looks old let me know. It's not easy finding and updating content over there so I may have missed something.
Ozi Ozbicerler
Are these changes pushed to Curseforge or only through here?
BrazenLotus
Make sure you have all required files installed. See the pinned post at the top of this page for links to that info.
BrazenLotus
That's because preserving still needs an update and is not available.
Aquiela
The liquid press and milling appliance donβt work either. I also donβt see the cheese wheel menu on the cheese press
Aquiela
The Preserving Shelf completely disappeared from my game after installing all the recent mod updates.
BrazenLotus
I'll fix that, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Kris
Oh, okay! I was just confused because the posts said the last update was 12/16/23 so I didn't know if it was some sort of glitch or something, that's why I commented what I did.
BrazenLotus
Yes, that's because they are broken and still need to be updated.
Kris
I don't know if you're aware of this, but clicking the "Download" button on the Tea Curing, Coffee Drying, Butter, White Vinegar, Cured Olives, and Dried Apricots doesn't lead you to the downloads for those items.
