For those that haven’t seen my last post, I’ll include it here.

> [@\[MOD\] consume\_the\_nut: Giving you a use for that half-ton of pine nuts + Update on the next mod I'll make](https://discourse.cataclysmdda.org/t/mod-consume-the-nut-giving-you-a-use-for-that-half-ton-of-pine-nuts-update-on-the-next-mod-ill-make/26449/1):

> On a different note, making this mod taught me something. C:DDA doesn’t have a lot of crafting recipes that use nuts. My original plan was to add a variant of every food item that used a nut in its recipe that instead used pine nuts. While I have succeeded in this goal, you’ll notice that the list is, well, short. The most complex thing would be peanut butter or pesto. Kind of boring in my opinion (though pesto is quite good). There are a few recipes that use peanut butter and pesto, but the list is short. I think it’s around a dozen if you combine the two lists. If you have something other than peanuts or pine nuts (prior to this mod) all you can craft is the roasted form of the nut or imitation peanut butter. That’s it.

> As such, I want to change this. The next mod that I make won’t be in the \_nut series of mods (I know, its a disappointment for many of you). It will instead be a mod focused on adding more recipes that involve nuts to the game, and not just pine nuts. This isn’t a mod I can make entirely on my own, however. I’ll need help from the community to create a list of recipes that use nuts. These could range from salad with slivered almonds to a nut-based halva.

Use this thread to post any and all recipes you’d like to see included in the mod. Just make sure that nuts are used in the recipe somewhere.

If we get enough into the mod, we may be able to setup a pull request and get the recipes included in the base game. As such, no jokes here. I’m not going to include a recipe for extracting cyanide from bitter almonds or anything like that. Good luck lads.

You can monitor current progess on the mod here: [https://github.com/users/ERRORCODE509/projects/2](https://github.com/users/ERRORCODE509/projects/2)

Pretty good idea. Nuts irl are a super valuable crop when it comes to feeding a populace because they’re so darned full of good stuff. Peanuts (and I’m gonna treat treenuts as nuts even if they’re legumes) I’m thinking, need a much bigger presence in the game. I was a peanut farmer for a short while and my stepdad still farms them, and it ain’t a fun job. Peanut oil is obvious, but I’m sure one could make peanut milk with a quern/ mortar and some kind of strainer. Peanut flour is also useful, but it might already be in the game  
Almonds, pecans, cashews, peanuts, they should be able to replace meats in certain foods. A lot of pies use them (peach cobbler, apple, blackberry, cherry, pecan pies) and chickpeas can make hummus and a lot of Indian foods I can’t even think to list.  
Thanks for taking the time to add to this game, minor or major, and sorry if this reply is scatterbrained

Hey, thanks for the ideas. I’d recommend posting them [here](https://github.com/ERRORCODE509/The-Great-Community-Nut-Project/issues) as an issue (a simple copy and paste is fine), as I don’t check here very frequently anymore. Just be aware that I’m currently on a bit of a modding hiatus, so it could be awhile before I start adding things again.
