DLC Notes

Fish-based recipes require the Odyssey DLC. Without it, related recipes are hidden automatically. All other content remains fully playable.

Q&A

Q: Can this be added to an existing save? Yes, it can. However, maps that have already been generated in your existing save will not automatically spawn new natural resources, such as apple trees, almond trees, and the like. These new resources will typically appear on newly generated maps or as you progress further into the game. Q: Can this be used alongside Medieval Overhaul? It is technically compatible, but not recommended. The two mods have significant content overlap, particularly in areas such as medieval foods, beverages, cheese, and food preservation. For this reason, we advise against installing them together. Q: Will you add compatibility patches for Medieval Overhaul or other similar mods in the future? No, we don't plan to. These mods overlap heavily with this mod in terms of content, and this mod has many internal details and balance adjustments of its own. Creating full compatibility with other major mods in the same category would require an enormous amount of work — potentially even more time-consuming than developing new mechanics or content from scratch.
