VFP: Additives and Activators

As of: mc1.11.2-3.2 (Aug-2017)

Additives and activators are little helper or agent ingredients, you need for the main food recipes. Agent ingredients are rarely edible but serve to make the various recipes unique and non-conflicting with other food mods. Most of the time they also make the recipes a teensy bit more realistic. You will need to figure out how to farm for and craft the main agent ingredients before you can complete most of the mod's other recipes. However, unless you're just starting in a new world, you probably have most of the required ingredients stashed somewhere (check those junk chests).

Recipe Pipeline

A simple schematic of how the basic recipe pipeline works: you craft agents(1) for use in basic ingredient recipes(2). Those basic ingredients are the main building blocks for the majority of actual food stuffs(3) you make to consume.

Item Roll Call

The main additives and activator agents in VFP (left to right): drying agent, leavening, fizz, curdling agent, what-what powder, enzyme extractor, and jungle-juju juice.

• Drying agent is used to create food powders, flour, and other powder-like ingredients.
• Leavening is used to create doughs for breads, pies, and dumplings.
• Fizz provides the caffeinated sugar buzz required for fizzy sugar drinks and tonics.
• Curdling agent is used for soft cheese and yogurts.
• What-What powder is an activator used to extract the JuJu essence from jungle vines and other items.
• Enzyme extractor is used to obtain rennet from plant sources for cheese making if you prefer not to kill baby cows for calf stomach lining drops. It is also used to purge zombie flesh.
• Jungle-JuJu juice is a concoction used to craft items like poisonous potatoes and rotten flesh.

Below are the recipes for the two simplest agent ingredients. You can use any standard seed (wheat, melon, pumpkin, beets) in any combination for these recipes.

Unprocessed drying agent; requires smelting.

Leavening agent.

Some agent ingredients are more complex and require other additives themselves; for example what-what activator powder is used by many other recipes and its recipe requires that you've already made or acquired some drying agent.

What-What powder requires Drying Agent.

Jungle-JuJu Juice requires What-What powder.

As does Enzyme Extraction Agent.

Curding Agent from saplings needs two other agents.
