Very nice. Some typos here and there (missing capitalizations, commas, a missing “from” in the Marmite entry), but I think I’ll throw it in and see if anything breaks.

No crashes yet, so all the I’s are crossed and T’s dotted as it were. I did notice that the baking recipes that use eggs do not produce eggshells as a byproduct as the other egg recipes do. Not sure how you’d fix that without separating the recipes that use fresh eggs from the ones that use powdered entirely.

in regards to your known issue:  
all items that give the stimulant effect can cause an overdose.

Thanks but why is the stimulant effect of things like caffeinated chewing gum capped at 31?

added the following  
-shock protecting union suit (that can be worn close to skin)  
-stimulant pills: phenol+(zinc or aluminum)+glycerol + formic acid + ammonia -\>stimulant pills  
-food from birch bark and wood (the edible part of bark)  
-made gravel effectively unsmashable  
-smg from pistol parts (for .22 and 9mm)

Is this the proper way to indicate I added more stuff or is it too spammy?

You could probably edit in a changelog to your original post, but I doubt anyone feels all that strongly if you don’t. (I could be wrong, this is the internet after all)

Once we’re out of this content freeze, I’m sure more than a handful of these additions would get accepted into the game if you try to mainline it.

edit: forgot about scrap brass
