Add Custom Recipes

[rukoo]

I'm adding a custom cook recipe to my mod. I followed this guide to enter the code, but the game crashes strangely. To be exact, it crashes in the bottom row of captin.lua, the unpacked part. I've compared the sample mode to my mod many times, but I don't know where the problem is. Please help!

This is error message.

seems like you forgot an end somewhere. Try double checking your lua file.

You can't put anything after a return statement thats not nested unless you do a comma. what exactly are you trying to unpack food prefabs into?

Thank you so much for the help! I'm not sure exactly what this does because I inserted the code referring to a different mod. The mod I referenced is this. That mod also ends up with unpack(foodprefabs), but it doesn't seem to crash like mine.

The comment seems to say "delete this if you don't want to add cooking recipes".

You cant put anything after this because this is the return statement. if you want to make changes within the character file it has to be in the main function(s) (common_postinit, master_postinit).
