[A15b] Crafting Neutroamine 1.1; Crafting Neutroamine Simply 1.1 (2024)

Crafting Neutroamine 1.1

I was Inspired by both an A15 Unstable mod by Bendigeidfran [craftable Neutroamine] and a desire to craft this important chemical. It provides a production chain that improves through research in 5 stages and I've got more uses in mind for the new resource.

The file newest version of both mods is attached to this post and can also be downloaded from dropbox below.

Warning! Do not install Crafting Neutroamine Simply with the full version!

In this mod the crafting process takes two things in varying amounts: Herbal Medicine and Plant Essence.

Plant Essence is created by performing a distillation bill on the lab, with better formulas available through the same research as neutroamine. When you first research drug production the lab will start with one recipe which, while highly inefficient, lets you essentially preserve 'raw plant ingredients' in a non-decaying form for later use.

'Raw plant ingredients' are all the vanilla food crops, psychoid leaves and hops. That initial recipe uses 2x as much raw food as a simple meal, almost three times as much as one flake and more than one yayo.

So now you have to decide which uses are more important for those materials: Your people eat (or get stoned) or they can have Neutroamine.

On an easy start the various ingredients are usually plentiful but it can get complex when you're on higher difficulties.

As you research Neutroamine Production I through V the process gets more efficient until at the end it is amazingly efficient.

The skill required is Crafting and the minimum scales up as well, from 6 to eventually 12.

Crafting Neutroamine Simply 1.1

This is a stripped down version and only uses Herbal Medicine with three tiers of research. Simpler but not necessarily easier.

Are they save game friendly?

I am open to feedback and suggestions and have more planned.

Changelog for 'Crafting Neutroamine':
1.1 - Removed the override on the Druglab (credit to Deimos Rast) and fixed some typos in the recipes. made the labels within the bills tab more meaningful.
1.0 - Initial Release.

Changelog for 'Crafting Neutroamine Simply':
1.1 - Initial Release.

Todo:

- Add some pictures to this post.

- A Stacking texture. If anyone has the skill and tools to make a little deep blue bottle texture that stacks like the core drugs do, I'd be grateful as I currently have no idea how it is being done.

- Make plant essence a drug, with moderate effects and low risk of addiction. After spending all day on this the drug defs seemed unbearably complex. Another day

- Possibly make the plant essence creation function like skinning, so it makes essence of berries, etc.

Testing:
I tested against a range of mods that I'm using and not only did it produce neutroamine, the normal recipes for the bench worked flawlessly, with no errors but I still didn't get a chance to test all of the other mods at the same time, but hey no errors were thrown

license: No commercial profit from any of my mods. I'd like to be contacted before my mods are added to a modpack as that often generates messages/postings to the original author and I reserve the right to decline.

Feel free to take what i've done and modify it, if you repost it just credit me
