Maybe we should think about creating a nutrition system like there was a mod for it back then before 2.0 (I don't remember the name) where you have to drink and eat. Like watching on the calories and proteins my guy.

I've been toying around with a hunger system, but a nutrition system sounds super cool. Will keep that in mind thanks!
In terms of the hunger system, more complex recipes will recover more hunger. I'm also toying with a system where certain foods will provide the player bonuses to things like run speed, craft speed, science speed, etc. Which will encourage the harder recipes.

Keen on that nutrition idea though where you have sort of multiple health bars, one for each of like grains, protein, fruits, veggies, dairy, each which provide a bonus when full. Thanks again for the ideas!!

Theres actually a mod which does exactaly that - grains, protein, fruits, veggies, dairy, Maybe you can find it its definitly outdated but maybe still usefull, when it comes down to coding etc.

Best wishes from germany!

Sadly i can't find the other mod, which adds apple, orange trees etc.
Seems either to be removed or its in FoodIndustry, but i know there was also thirst and protein and different type of food which fills certain bars so you had either to decied what buffs you want (therefore eat what you need) or just fill everything but to much is bad, cause then there where debuffs...

The trees where a good idea, which prevents the player from starvation at early game (which mods like AAi really important)

Definitly worth checking out sadly out to date, there like so many mods i would like to have in 2.0 BUT my lua scripting isn't great.

Hello! I've released the Hunger Update! Every food will fill your hunger bar, but only relevant foods will fill nutrition bars. So bread refills hunger and carbs, while banana bread fills hunger, carbs and fruit. All foods from Fruit Mod and Foodtorio Mod have added config for which bars get refilled. To eat, simply click the item in your inventory and a menu will pop up!

A full nutrition bar provides a 50% boost to different stats, for example Veggies give you a 50% boost to research speed.

Let me know if you find any issues!

Alright cool thanks gonna try that out soon!

Hey there! First off, I play with a lot of mods—like More Ores, AAI, and many others—that significantly slow down progression. I also use Tcyoon2, which lets us build a tycoon empire with additional buildings, AFK farming, and custom food items. However, Tcyoon2’s custom items don’t seem to integrate with Foodtorio right now. If possible, I’d love to see a patch or optional compatibility feature that lets both mods recognize each other’s items.

I’ve also noticed that fish currently doesn’t refill anything at all, even if I cook it with another mod—so it might be bugged. It would be really convenient if we could consume food directly from the hotbar (similar to how we can eat fish in vanilla Factorio), rather than just clicking it.

Beyond that, early-game survival feels pretty tough. Finding food and water is a challenge, especially when you have to wait until Assembler Level 2 just to get started. Maybe certain trees could drop food, or there could be a simpler way to collect water. It’d also be great if there was an option to enable actual starvation mechanics. As it stands, I can’t eat or drink anything until I finally get Assembler Level 2—a process that can take hours, especially with AAI or other mods that add alloys and ores and further slow progression.

Anyway, these are just a few ideas from my experience. I really appreciate the work you’ve put into this mod, and I hope you’ll consider these suggestions. Thanks for the awesome mod!

many fruit on map, you can eat them ?

Do you think maybe because of "Alien biome" and the other planet mods that this is the reason i can't find any?

Yeah, not yet compatible with Alien biome

Alright hopefully you can get that asap working :O

compatible with Alien biome now.

Plex with the clutch updates! Great work!

You guys are amazing!

Am confused wheres the update did you already patched it?

I'll update Foodtorio tomorrow to require the new version of Fruit, currently you'll have to update it manually.

The hunger system is nice, but the gui for it is sometime in the way of playing (at least for me). Maby make a shortcut for it, helps.
As a "warning" system, you can make it flash up and/or announce it in the chat that x is running low.
Just an idea that popped into my mind.

I will try to add this for the next update!
