Adds a nifty new cookbook!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This mod mostly just adds a cookbook that helps you remember recipes!

The cookbook is in the farm tab. Requires a science machine.

4 papyrus, 2 pigskin and 1 feather pencil

There are three parts to a recipe and two for an ingredient:

- Seeing it means putting in your inventory; this populates basic info in the book. (Totally recommend looking at living ingredients in the book) - Eating it is well ya; this populates the stats and potential effects. - Cooking from cookpot is only for recipes; this populates the actual ingredients needed.

There is an option to have the book pre-filled.

A recipe scroll is also craftable if you chose not the have the book pre-filled. It will reveal a random recipe completely (as if you have seen, eaten and cooked it). This should help those struggling to complete the book or just didn't know about some possible recipes.

The scroll requires 3 wetgoop and 1 papyrus.

There is also an option to lower non-cookpot foods hunger promoting use of the cookpot.

There is also an option to turn off the cookbook music.

This mod also introduces foodtype preference that are different form what is in the game.

If a character likes a foodtype, they suffer less from spoilage. But if they dislike one, they will lose sanity if they eat it and will not eat anything that is past fresh (yellow or red background). Favourite foodtypes are the one that their favourite meal is in. I had to make Woodies fish as there were too many in meat. Characters can have more than one foodtype they like or dislike.

You can now adjust mod characters' preferences but it applies to all mod characters.

Foodtypes:

Meat - Liked by: Wigfrid, Willow Disliked by: Winona, Wortox, Wes Fish - Liked by: Woodie, Maxwell Disliked by: Wigfrid, Wortox, Wolfgang Egg - Liked by: Wilson, Wolfgang, Webber Disliked by: Maxwell, Wormwood, Wurt Dairy - Liked by: Wes, Webber Disliked by: Maxwell, Wurt, Wilson, Willow Fruit - Liked by: Wendy, Wortox, Wurt, Walter, Wormwood Disliked by: Woodie Veggie - Liked by: Winona, Wolfgang Disliked by: All kids hate veg!, Wes Treats - Liked by: Webber Disliked by: Maxwell

Wendy, Walter, Webber, Wurt all dislike veggies. But Wurt keeps her fondess of kelp.

Wickerbottom and WX do not have any since they have spoilage related perks.

Warly likes all food so no preference for him due to personality.

This can be turned off.

The new foodtypes affect birds too!

Crows:

Can eat the usual things (only bird that will eat cooked eggs and monster meat) but will only give 1 crop seed. Will always give guano when fed seeds

Robin:

Can eat meat (not monster) and fruit only!

Winter robin:

Can eat fish and veggie only!

Canary:

Cannot eat any meat/egg/fish! Has a chance at a third crop seed being dropped.

This can be turned off.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mod compatibility:

I tried to make it so that most mods should work well enough with this book. There are some ways that modders modded their recipes that will not show up nicely in the book however. I will make a thread for things modders can chose to do if they wish for their mod to work more with this one.
