Open Food Mechanics

Starbound mod that prevents food from rotting and makes it ^{(along with other consumables)} stackable up to 20.

Pull requests with support for other mods are welcome. Read Technical Details to get an idea how to do that semi-automatically.

Installation

Always backup path/to/Starbound/storage directory before (un)installing (any) mod(s).

Download latest version here and place it inside /path/to/Starbound/mods.

Removing the mod will bring stack sizes back to normal. Extra items will be lost so make sure to unstack them before proceeding.

Technical Details

Patch files were generated automatically using a few (linux) commands:

1. Head to the game directory:

   $ cd /path/to/Starbound/

2. Create _template.consumable.patch file with following contents:

   [
       [
           { "op": "test", "path": "/maxStack" },
           { "op": "replace", "path": "/maxStack", "value": 20 }
       ],
       [
           { "op": "test", "path": "/maxStack", "inverse": true },
           { "op": "add", "path": "/maxStack", "value": 20 }
       ]
   ]

3. Unpack Starbound assets:

   $ ./linux/asset_unpacker "./assets/packed.pak" "./_starbound_assets"

4. Create _starbound_consumables directory:

   $ mkdir -p "./_starbound_consumables"

5. Copy all *.consumable files to starbound_consumables directory:

   $ find "./_starbound_assets" -name "*.consumable" -print -exec cp --parents "{}" "./_starbound_consumables" \;

6. Rename all *.consumable files to *.consumable.patch:

   $ find "./_starbound_consumables" -name "*.consumable" -exec mv "{}" "{}.patch" \;

7. Override all *.consumable.patch files with contents of ./_template.consumable.patch file:

   $ find "./_starbound_consumables" -name "*.consumable.patch" -exec cp "./_template.consumable.patch" "{}" \;

8. (Optional) Copy files to mod repository and clean up workspace:

   $ cp -Ri "./_starbound_consumables/_starbound_assets/items" "/path/to/open_food_mechanics/"
   $ rm -R "./_starbound_assets/" "./_starbound_consumables/" "./_template.consumable.patch"
