Ingredient Preference
🕑 Added 2023-11-18 17:55:50 +0000 UTCSo it was a about 2/3rds in favour of remaining with EA ingredient/tags for recipes so that is what will continue. I will utilise srsly's ingredient tags with an optional download for more realistic ingredient requirements. 😊
Hi everyone!
Waffle incoming (and not the food), so please bear with me if this doesn't make any sense... The importance of this post depends on how invested you are with ingredients. If that doesn't really bother you, then no need to read all this rambling! 😉
-------------------------
So as you may already know I am currently working on adding some ingredients to fill in the gaps for some of my older recipes...
eg. 'party ring biscuits' will now ask for the {party biscuits} as an ingredient when creating the plate as it's very specific to what the recipe is asking for and currently does not ask for any ingredients.
-------------------------
Onto the confusing part:
-------------------------
However as an example ~~~ for recipes such as 'Toad in the hole' (wip) would use {pork sausages} and {frozen peas} as ingredients.. but if you don't have the shopping mod downloaded, these ingredients would not be asked for and the game would only ask for 'Milk or Egg' and 'Flour'.
Or would you prefer me to use ea ingredients for things that could fit into the category?
The {pork sausages} ingredient would count for 'Any Meat' but the {frozen peas} would not work for 'Green Pea' this would have to be 'Any Veg'. But there is no guarantee the game would use the pork sausages and frozen peas if you have other ingredients with these tags.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to add that I'm aiming to create a download that has Srsly's ingredient tags for recipes to increase compatibility. So with the srslys tags optional download the recipe would ask for 'any sausage' and 'any peas'.
Summary:
So I suppose my question is should we move forward using the upcoming shopping mod ingredients over ea's ingredients where suitable? Or stick with EA ingredients tags and only use the shopping mod ingredients that don't fit in an EA tag category? Such as 'Sprinkles'.
Shopping mod ingredients - more specific/realistic requirements
EA ingredients/tags - more flexibility with some ingredients but the game might use different ingredients using the same tags. So there is no guarantee the game would use sausages for 'Toad in the Hole'.
There will eventually be a srsly's 'any ingredient' tags optional download to help more ingredients be compatible with recipes.
-------------------------
I've baffled myself trying to explain this so if you have any questions please don't hesitate 😅
