Mod «Project Cook [B42]» for Project Zomboid

Project Cook introduces a dedicated cooking interface for Project Zomboid Build 42, focusing on Base Cooking mechanics. It allows players to evolve recipes by starting with a base item and adding compatible ingredients or seasonings, such as soups, stews, salads, stir-fries, burgers, sandwiches, and pasta-style meals. The mod provides tools to choose valid base items, browse nearby ingredients, queue additions, check nutrition information, and manage cookers through an accessible UI.

Features:

• Base Cooking: Supports vanilla evolved-recipe rules for ingredient use, skill modifiers, and limits
• Ingredient Management: Tracks partially-used and full items separately; handles burnt, frozen, or rotten ingredients according to vanilla rules
• Nutrition Information: Reveals details progressively based on Cooking skill (Categories at Level 2, Rough values at Level 4, Estimates at Level 6, Exact values at Level 8, Full details with Nutritionist trait)
• Cooker Management (WIP): Manage ovens, microwaves, barbecues, fireplaces, and campfires
• Recipe Crafting (WIP): Supports standard crafting-style cooking recipes

• Load Order: [B42] NeatUI Framework → Project Cook → Project Cook Pixel Icon Pack (optional)
