[Question] Meat

[XanderDox]

I've asked a two question relating to food recently, but none of them actually went in the direction of the answer I actually wanted, so I apologise for wasting those who answered them's time.

But onto this question,
1. To make a meal require a certain animals meat, in this case an animal I'm adding in, I would need to make a Def for its meat correct?

1(a). If you answered correct to question one continue reading, if you answered incorrect, see 1(b), how would I go about (A) getting the texture for the meat, as I'd like to use the generic meat from the base game and  (B) how would I make it drop from that animal when butchered?

1(b). How do I go about making the meal only work with the creatures specific meat type if I don't need to make it a resource?

Meat is genereated automaticly on start of the game, so i.e. muffalo have a thingdefname of Muffalo so if he drops meat he will drop thigdefname_meat (Muffalo_meat)

Holy Shiboppity! I feel so stupid! All along it should of worked, but I've been capitalizing the m on meat! Thanks so much Mrofa!

But now no one is cooking it... Even when in the que and a Chef set to priority 1 cooking.

Here is the recipe:

If you need another part of it, just ask. This actually has me really stumped. Grrr.

I think this should look like

Code Select Expand

<fixedIngredientFilter>
<thingDefs>
<li>Rimzard_meat</li>
</thingDefs>
</fixedIngredientFilter>

And you could delete

Code Select Expand

<defaultIngredientFilter>
<categories>
<li>FoodRaw</li>

<exceptedThingDefs>
<li>Human_Meat</li>
</exceptedThingDefs>
</defaultIngredientFilter>

So if I replace what I had with that, they should cook it?

[mrofa]
