Canned Food Mod

Author of the Canned Food Mod: mlie

The Canned Food Mod allows you to preserve food by turning raw ingredients into long-lasting canned goods, making storage and food management much more efficient.

Canned Food Mod Features

This simple mod introduces a canning system that lets you convert raw food into preserved meals that do not spoil.

  • Canning system: Create canned food using 5 meat or 5 vegetables along with a can.
  • Crafting cans: Produce cans at the smithy using steel, after researching Smithing and Canning.
  • Non-perishable food: Canned food does not spoil and deteriorates very slowly when left outdoors.
  • Flexible usage: Canned food can be eaten directly or used as an ingredient in recipes.
  • Empty cans: Consumed cans or those used in recipes will now return empty cans.
  • Stackable graphics: Uses a stackable graphic type for improved visuals.

  • V1.1: Increased stack size to 75 and reduced work required for canning.
  • V1.2: Updated debuff to “ate awful meal” and added batch crafting (x10) with reduced work.
