Looks like your buildscript/buildfood.lua is causing some item errors:

Do you using some mods which adds new food or something?
For example "applejuice" or "wartwine" doesn't exist in the game files.

At the current unstable this mod works great. On Nightly I Can't do anything right now.

 

I am using a few mods FrackinUniverse is the offender here, it doesn't look like the new foodstuffs from FU have updated to the new format yet so completly disregard my bug report

 

Thank you for your post nevertheless.
I will have a look at this in the upcoming weeks.


EDIT: your log file tells something about a missing value "duration". That helps me to improve the script in cases when food effects doesn't have a duration value (maybe existing in mods). After Starbound release v1.0 all mods should be compatible with the new descriptions of this mod.

 

The newest nightly build doesn't seem to load .modpak files, only .pak files, so I can't get the mod to run on it.

 

yeah i noticed that in an update earlier today they finally pushed the format change for the packed files, lets hope this means steam workshop support is coming soon

 

Great mod, the only thing I miss are the normal descriptions. Having the food information and seeing what benefits it will provide is way more useful, but it's a bit strange seeing just blank descriptions on foods that don't give you buffs (other than refilling your hunger meter).

 

Yeah thats the problem right now. I'll try to find a solution for showing the regular descriptions too. That means I have to change the whole interface layout to have enough room for all descriptions.

I'm interested in the mod, but that food "rots" in a certain number of minutes is kinda bugging me so maybe you can switch out "rots in x minutes" with "spoils in x minutes"? Also, would you mind updating the images on the mod page with your new layout?

 

I changed 'rots in ...' to 'spoils in ...' in the current update.
The preview pictures will be updated in a few minutes.

 

Very nice mod. Does it include non-food consumable such as stimpacks? It would be nice to see the effects and time limits for those items too.

buildfood.lua, line 32, should be a 60 not a "60"

Great mod by the way, couldn't play starbound without it.

 

Yea it sould be 60 instead of a string but it doesn't matter in this case.
Thanks bro.
