Hey everyone, Welcome to Automachef's 7th Kitchen Confidential! This week the definitely human Robert Person has graced us with their presence! Robert shall be explaining how Mods work and how you can make your own to play and share on the Steam Workshop. Let's get stuck in shall we? [h1][b]Mod Creation[/b][/h1] Hello fellow humans, welcome to yet another “Kitchen Confidential”. This time we are going to talk about one of the features that sets Automachef apart: the tools that allow players to create their very own recipes, ingredients, dishes and levels and then share them with the rest of the community! In order to see some of the creations you could make using the Automachef Software Development Kit, check out the [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/984800/workshop/]Steam Workshop[/url], particularly the following mods, which are extremely fun to play: [list] [*][url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1847111619&searchtext=]Danish Food[/url] (frikadellesandwich, flæskesteg and other traditional Danish foods) [*][url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1848801322&searchtext=]Delicious Desserts[/url] (ice cream, cakes, pancakes and more) [*][url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1819352602&searchtext=]High Steaks[/url] (steaks of different types and different degrees of doneness) [/list] Getting started with making your own mods is quite easy. We suggest that you check [url=https://www.automachef.com/downloads-docs/]Automachef’s website and download the mod creation guide[/url] for more detail, but here are the basics: 1. Download and install Unity 2018.3.7f1. You can get it through the Unity Hub that you can download from [url=https://unity3d.com/get-unity/download]Unity’s website[/url] for free. 2. Download the Automachef SDK from [url=https://automachef.com/downloads-docs/]Automachef’s website[/url]. 3. Think about the recipes, ingredients and dishes you want to make. 4.Fire up your favourite 3D modelling software (like Blender) and start making the 3D models for your food. Don’t forget to prepare a square icon for each one of the ingredients and dishes you make! 5. Set up all the required data, like the recipes for your dishes, how the different cooking methods affect each ingredient, what recipes players need to prepare in each level, and so on and so forth. 6. Build the mod into a file from the SDK, copy it to the corresponding folder and start up Automachef to give it a try! 7. When you are happy with your creation you can post it to the Steam Workshop from within the Mods screen in the game.
