Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Modding Dungeon Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Finished Projects [Mod] Crafting Overhaul

I dont want to use vanilla tools as my recipes, since i cannot assign weapons (tools like pickaxe, dagger etc.) root templates.

Yes, you can.
1. Create a root template, or derive one from an existing root template.
2. Create a stat record.
3. Attach the stat record to the root template by filling in the Stats field in the root template.
The name of the stat record does not have to match the name of the root template.

A minor suggestion, i would like the food items and crafting to be more sensible.
And easier on the players both from need to figure out the right combinations and ease of getting rid of all those food items more easily because they clog the inventory a lot. In addition to all other stuff.
Thing is, most food items you can craft require some very specific ingredients and there is a lot of everyday combinations that everyone knows but just dont exist in the game.
Water + fish = fish soup, for example.
There is a lot of simple soups that should be available.
Then there is a need to craft "meals" from several ingredients, not just two specific ones.
There can be a lot of various cakes added, as well as broths and stews that can have lax demand on exact ingredients but could easily be made from several. Like cooking 4 or five or six fruits into a fruit cake, or several fish into a fish stew, or several vegetables into a vegatable cake or a stew.
Same goes for meat. Just let me throw several pieces in the pot and get a slightly better meal.
I would add some small bonus for each item used so a stew with six ingredients could have a 1 or 2% greater effect for each component then the one with two or three. And maybe these "greater meals" could have an additional elemental resistance added. or maybe boost an attribute for some reasonable amount for specific number of turns. More ingredients - the longer the effect lasts.
Being able to set up your own cooking station is mandatory but i see this mod already takes care of that so thats great.

I saw it already. You're looking in the wrong place.
There is no RootTemplate column in Armor, Weapon, and Shield stats.
You don't assign the RootTemplate to the stat record.

You assign the stat record to the RootTemplate.

water+fish = fish soup - add more fish to get a better version of the fish soup.
water+2(any)fish+tomato+potato = fish stew or "brudet"
water+those fing crab pincers i can never find a use for = crab soup
water+crab pincers+fish+seashells+tomato+wine = gregada
water+meat= meat soup + more meat = better soup
water+meat+meat+potato = meat stew (any meat types) + paprika = better stew
water+meat+flour = meatloaf
water+chicken legs = chicken soup
water + flour + eyaballs = lizard delight pie (usable only by lizards, gives disease to other races)
water+(any)rock+flour = dwarven bread (can be thrown as a weapon doing small amount of bludgeoning damage + chance of knockdown + bypasses magical armor)
- edited, maybe meat isnt necessary here... probably not.
Dwarven bread+stick or branch+rope=mace (small damage+chance of knockdown+bypasses magical armor)

Hello there,
I was wondering when you will upload this crazy useful mod on nexus... I've got DOS2 from gog and well it doesn't have the steam workshop support.
Bread + cheese+tomato = bruschetta
cold smashed potato + meat = steak & smashed potato
pepper + garlic + any meat/fish + pumpkin + tomato = pepper stew
boiled potato + cheese = raclette (suisse food)
boiled potato + garlick + any meat = Ragout
Cheers

Ons question/suggestion, though: Have you thought about tying some of the more powerful crafting recipes to a new skill? Perhaps "tinkering" or something along the lines.

Could you also please check and see if its possible to revert to DOS1 way of refilling water bottles?

btw, the Dwarven bread would technically need gravel, but i thought not to complicate it too much. Yet if you feel you could add that step so a hammer+stone = gravel that would be great. If not just leave it as it is.
Its a little homage/easter egg for Terry Pratchett, if anyone is wondering.
