About this mod

Changes the static produce and beer crates to lootable containers.

Since the new game difficulty settings made eating worth the effort I got more interested in actually crafting food...then quickly grew frustrated by all those crates of ingredients I couldn't loot...

I've replaced all of the static fruit, vegetable, and beer crates with lootable containers.  Each container is limited to the appropriate item, and I've somewhat "randomized" (...for VERY loose definitions of that word...it's a list of 6 possible values) the amounts you'll find in each box.  You'll always find at least one onion, tomato, beer, etc. though.

Fruit:
  • Grapes
  • Oranges
  • Peaches
  • Pears
  • Plums
  • Watermelon

Veg:
  • Carrots
  • Celery
  • Lettuce
  • Onions
  • Potatoes
  • Tomatoes

Beer:
  • Dark beers
  • Pale Ales
  • Red Ales

What I've done:
- I used the original models for each type of container (an artist I am not), so no changes there at all
- Created custom containers/form lists for each container; containers are marked to respawn
- Global search/replace for each of the static objects

I've been using it for a few weeks now and haven't noticed any problems.  I've checked every area I've gone too (several different POI types and the larger hubs) and it seems to have worked as intended.

I don't think this will conflict with anything.  20241010:  Okay, apparently it has a conflict with at least Royal Galaxy, which I don't use.  I do replace the static objects in question, so if a mod interacts with one of the replaced objects it might cause an issue.  Not sure how I can get around that, aside from maybe converting this to a script (which the more I mod the more I'm thinking I really should get off my backside and learn...).


Notes:
- I haven't started playing Shattered Space yet, so this doesn't do anything there.  I'll likely upload another version for the DLC when I get around to it, if there's interest.
- This won't replace anything in other mods.  I'm thinking of writing a script to do this, which would make it a bit more expansive...but I'll have to figure out scripting first XD
- You can see in the screenshots the process even seems to respect area ownership in some cases!

Installation notes:
There are currently two versions up for download...only download and install one version at a time:
  • Produce (Fruits and Vegetable) and Beer Crates: This version requires the Trackers Alliance creation to be installed.  This version will be updated with future DLC requirements.
  • Produce and Beer Crates - Base game only: This version only requires Starfield.esm...no DLC required.

I'll create a third version when I do Shattered Space, Vanilla + (All Major Official DLC), for those who understandably don't install Traders Alliance.

Happy cooking :)
