Take my word with a grain of salt, since I'm not at all good at writing dfhack scripts, but I do have one that sets hunger to 0. It's a tiny script and I just assumed that it could also influence the hunger counter in other ways. I'm sure if you write IndigoFenix, Warmist or Roses or Atomic Chicken, that they could write one that makes people drink/eat twice as often.

Ah, many thanks.

Oh, I like this. Best of luck, definitely will be using this once it's released.

I'd be fine with a meal system that creates edible objects somewhat generically.  For example:

Bread - any flour, water, low value
Stew - any vegetable, second vegetable, water
Meat Stew - any vegetable, any meat, water
Pastry - any flour, any sugar, any fruit


Those objects wouldn't qualify as meals though, would they?  They'd have to be a cheese, right?

[Bogus]

it is possible to define custom meal items in the raws, multiple types per level(=number of ingredients) are also possible. not sure you can actually produce them using custom reactions or add those into the kitchen menu tho.

otherwise, producing a custom item of the type meal should be fairly easy to do with a script and i recall seeing one that does just that. dont know if descriptions would properly name the ingredients tho. there also is a script to remove reactions from built in workshops so it should be entirely feasible to replace vanilla meal cooking with more sophisticated/expensive meals, tho afaik levels are limited to 2,3,4 (but number of ingredients isnt necessarily the same as that number)

Correct and correct. Also something I'm looking at doing.

Yes. They don't use custom reactions, you just add the entry to the item_food file. I've done so myself already for more food name variety.

If you recall those two scripts, please point them out to me so I can use them!

looking through the rather messy collection of scripts on my hd i only found this here script to remove the built in melt reaction from smelters:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

local eventful = require 'plugins.eventful'

-- Remove the vanilla melt item job.
eventful.postWorkshopFillSidebarMenu.User_DFHack_Melt_Item = function(wshop)
   if wshop:getType() == df.building_type.Furnace then
      if wshop:getSubtype() == df.furnace_type.Smelter or wshop:getSubtype() == df.furnace_type.MagmaSmelter then
         local wjob = df.global.ui_sidebar_menus.workshop_job
         
         for i = 0, #wjob.choices_all - 1, 1 do
            if wjob.choices_all.job_type == df.job_type.MeltMetalObject then
               wjob.choices_all:delete(i)
               wjob.choices_visible:delete(i)
               return
            end
         end
      end
   end
end

rubble.unloaders.User_DFHack_Melt_Item = function()
   eventful.postWorkshopFillSidebarMenu.User_DFHack_Melt_Item = nil
end

i would have thought there was a more general version of this that would allow you to remove any job from anywhere but i cant find it or it doesnt exist. same goes for the cooking script sadly.

You want dwavres to eat more often? RIP 6 months of the year. I'd like dwarves to eat more units of food, but increasing the time those leeches are eating for seems like it'd be more annoying than a fun rebalance. I assume you can make the eating job faster, which could mitigate the problem somewhat.

? Eating is nigh instantaneous in 40.24. I was only thinking of doubling it to 4, anyhow.

Holy snapsalot, thank you!

[Meph]

If you manage to make a script that alters the rate at which dwarves eat and drink, make 6 of them:

Drink 2x
Drink 1x
Drink 0.5x

Eat 2x
Eat 1x
Eat 0.5x

Because if your mod makes it harder to produce food and drinks, it might make sense to allow dwarves to eat/drink less often, or if people like a proper challenge, they can double the hunger/thirst rate.
