[Warning (!): Mod is still under development, and is not intended for a long game] This mod adds hunger and ways to produce foods and drinks. From grown foods can be obtained effect capsules.
Really great idea, expanding what it means be to Factorio, which would be the great Simulation & Management game of the decade. Hope you would develop & update this mod further, or, possibly achieve this with some other guys! 😄
Yea, maybe there's no need to update for 0.18 for now, don't hurry, but maybe some time after Factorio 1.0's release (this September), say within one year from now, a relatively "finished" or stable version of Food Industry would be great to have.
