Generate Litter
Community Rating
You've been consuming food and drinks including their packaging for way too long. Now that changes.
A certain set of food and drink items have an equivalent "empty variant" as clutter (misc) item. Consuming these items will now add those empty item variants to your inventory or drop them on the ground, depending on your gameplay option.
For one this adds to the immersion, at least a little. Eat a lot of chunks? Gotta toss away a lot of packaging.
A few other items are now part of a "recycling workflow". Crafted drink packs will yield an empty drink pack which can be recycled for new drink packs. TerraBrew and Tranquilitea are handled similarly (see details below).
Example: Distilled water is crafted from membrane and water. This mod adds a variant of the distilled water recipe that uses an empty drink pack instead of membranes.
Throw away, sell or recycle? It's up to you now.
------------------ DETAILS -------------------- Gameplay option "Auto Drop": Whether to drop the newly added objects directly to the ground instead of adding them to the inventory. Also works on quick-use (consuming items without going to the inventory first).
The following item categories will create litter items when consumed:
- Any packaged chunks
- Any crafted drink packs
- Any TerraBrew coffee
- Any Tranquilitea
- Some bottled beers
- Packaged soft drinks and kefir
The following items can be recycled:
- Empty drink packs from used crafted drinks. Soft drinks have different packaging that cannot be used.
- Empty coffee to go cups can be used to make TerraBrew at any cooking station.*
- Empty Tranquilitea cups can be used to make Tranquilitea at any cooking station.
*TerraBrew recipes will need to be researched before being craftable. It's easy to dip a bag of Tranquilitea into hot water, but TerraBrew is more than just coffee. To make the right thing, you first need to find out how it's made.
------------------ COMPATIBILITY NOTICE -------------------- This mod should have no conflicts. Consumable items added by other mods are not taken into account and would require additional patches. No vanilla records are touched. A single script handles player consumable events to add respective misc items to the inventory. Additional recipes and research options are all new records.
