Help with modded item spoilage

[NotLuzeria]

Hello, I'm trying to make a mod where the character can craft a little chunk of slime using health, but my problems are that the item uses durability (instead of spoilage) and that it can't be eaten. I've attached the item's .lua and modmain.lua, ask me about any other information you may need!
(Also, if anyone wants to help me with getting images to work in the crafting menu, that'd be awesome too)

slime_chunk.lua modmain.lua

[yanecc]

    FOODTYPE = {
        GENERIC = "GENERIC",
        MEAT = "MEAT",
        VEGGIE = "VEGGIE",
        ELEMENTAL = "ELEMENTAL",
        GEARS = "GEARS",
        HORRIBLE = "HORRIBLE",
        INSECT = "INSECT",
        SEEDS = "SEEDS",
        BERRY = "BERRY",
        RAW = "RAW",
        BURNT = "BURNT",
        ROUGHAGE = "ROUGHAGE",
        WOOD = "WOOD",
        GOODIES = "GOODIES",
        MONSTER = "MONSTER",
    },

There is no definition of FOODTYPE.SWEETENER. I think this should work:

    inst:AddComponent("edible")
    inst.components.edible.healthvalue = slimeChunkHealValue
    inst.components.edible.hungervalue = slimeChunkHungerValue
    inst.components.edible.sanityvalue = slimeChunkSanityValue

    inst:AddComponent("perishable")
    inst.components.perishable:SetPerishTime(slimeChunkSpoilTime)
    inst.components.perishable:StartPerishing()
    inst.components.perishable.onperishreplacement = "spoiled_food"

What FOODTYPE does honey and royal honey use then? I would like to be able to use the slime chunks to craft things like taffy and jellybeans.

I'd like for it to spoil into nothing instead, especially since the character's favourite food is most likely going to be rot.

Apart from that, it is edible now, and it does actually spoil instead of deplete durability! Thanks!

I recommend keeping it FOODTYPE.GENERIC as default (or use FOODTYPE.GOODIES).

Food would corrupt into nothing by default, just delete it.

    inst.components.perishable:SetOnPerishFn(inst.Remove)

How can I make the item acceptable as a unit of sweetener for crockpots then?

It now just no longer spoils at all?

In your modmain.lua

AddIngredientValues({ "slime_chunk" }, { sweetener = 1 })

This didn't work, but adding

inst.components.perishable:SetPercent(1)

made it work, strangely. It spoiled before when it spoiled to rot, but making it spoil to nothing made it require this little bit...
Thanks for the help!
