RationMaking

Adds multiple industrial rations that serve as cheap, efficient alternatives for caravans. Each ration comes with distinct mechanical trade-offs, ensuring vanilla options like Pemmican and Packaged Survival Meals still retain their core utility in your colony logisitics.

All rations are synthesized at the new Industrial Ration Maker, which unlocks immediately upon researching Electricity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I add this to an existing save?
A: Yes! It is completely safe to add mid-game. However, removing it mid-save may cause errors if you currently have the rations in stockpiles or the Industrial Ration Maker constructed on any map.

Q: Is this Combat Extended (CE) compatible?
A: It should be naturally compatible out of the box, as it strictly introduces new food items and properties without altering combat.

Q: Do vanilla cooking bills work on the Industrial Ration Maker?
A: No. The machine is only for making food in this mod.

Q: What about compatibility with other mods?
A: If you run Vanilla Cooking Expanded, the Rock Cracker recipes can use flour. It is broadly compatible with other preservation and MRE mods. Canning Machine in VCE also been patched to be able to make Condensed Dairies

Inspiration & Credits

This is my very first mod! I am natively Indonesian and English is my second language (ESL), so if you happen to find any grammatical errors or typos in the text, please let me know in the comments so I can fix them.

A huge thank you to the modders who inspired me to make this mod:

• Misstall's Foods and Social Drugs – Inspired the approach for the Industrial Ration Maker.
• Lyn's Hardtacks – Inspired the Rock Crackers and the reason why i want to make this mod.
• Chicken Plucker – For his classic MRE mods that proved survival food can be so much more interesting than a standard Packaged Survival Meal in the Rim.

Thank you for playing, and enjoy your new caravan foods!
