Expanded Foods: Core is a Vintage Story mod by l33tmaan and Pursec. Expanded Foods: Core broadens Vintage Story cooking with new preservation methods, food uses, vinegar, drinks, and ingredients for richer recipes.
Why this mod is worth installing
Choose it if farming and cooking feel too limited and you want more reasons to process gathered food. It is also useful as the core dependency for the related Expanded Foods modules.
What Expanded Foods: Core adds
Expanded Foods: Core gives existing ingredients many more culinary purposes. You can prepare bushmeat meals, make vinegar, preserve supplies in new ways, and use additional cooking techniques instead of treating every food item as a single-purpose resource.
The food range reaches beyond ordinary meals: the mod framework supports candies, snacks, sauces, sushi, noodles, desserts, new milk products, and aged alcoholic drinks. This makes harvesting, animal products, and stored ingredients more valuable throughout a playthrough.
This package is the foundation of the Expanded Foods series rather than a small standalone recipe pack. Its systems are designed to work with selected food and animal mods, while overlapping cooking overhauls may conflict with its recipes and ingredients.
