Intro​
Hello, everyone! After the abandonment of both the original mod by @INFINITE POWER and the open-source rewrite by @Ardosos, as well as the closed-source format of the Rebranding mod by @BowToes, I've decided to write yet another version of the same mod.

Quality of Life: Recipes intends to recreate, add to, and improve the recipes introduced by Quality of Life. Note that these are the recipes only. Gameplay tweaks and changes are not included, outside of vanilla recipe changes. The new mod uses the original sprites by INFINITE POWER and some code from Ardosos' version of the mod; otherwise, this mod has been written from the ground up.

An up-to-date list of recipes with icons can be found on the GitHub page.

great mod, are you opened to more suggestions for combinations ?

Absolutely! I do reserve the right to deny requests, though, for a number of reasons:
  • if I feel they might throw off the balance of the game;
  • if they're impossible to implement at the moment;
  • or if I feel that they wouldn't fit with the general idea of the mod.
However, I'm open to most ideas, so let me know what you'd like!

Why the thought of a "Man" potion is funny, It should say mana ;D

Hello, are you still keeping this updated? The recipes that use the Heavy Work Bench don't seem to be functioning.

EDIT: Nevermind, I messed up the one I was trying I guess. And the Fisherman's Pocket Guide uses the Bookcase instead of the Heavy Work Bench apparently. You might update your github to reflect this.
Thank you for this mod, if nothing else it's so nice not to have to do 10000 fish quests and just hope you get the things you need.

Oops, I messed up the crafting stations of a couple items on the GitHub. I'll see about fixing it. Edit: Should hopefully be right now. Thanks for the heads-up, @HermesHarbinger.

What exactly makes the cybernetic utility helmet better than the utility helmet?
Click to expand...
The Cybernetic Utility Helmet is an accessory instead of armor, so you can free up your helmet slot. The Utility Helmet is also applied to the mining gear set bonus, though, so's up to you which one you want to use.

Since the original Quality of life mod hasn't been updated and doesn't seem to work with terraria 1.3.5, does this somehow fix that or is it not for latest terraria at all? I REALLY want the original and this mod.
 
This is a good mod, btw I recommend setting up a github.io page for the mod. Or at least link to this post ._.

By the way, I suggest to make a new placable combining heart lantern and start in a bottle.

Hello @abluescarab , are you open to suggestions? if you are do you think you can add the shield of Cthulhu to the elemental boots? it has always bothered me that you can dash but not hit anything while doing it, I mean Bone Lee clearly dash and kicks your *** while hes at it.

Thanks for the mod, it has always been on my list.
 
It's really good to see this mod ported to 1.4. Quality of Life is one of the oldest tModLoader mods, it's nice to know that people still remember it.

I'm not trying to be rude or anything like that, but is there a chance there will be another version of the mod that is a bit more faithful to the original Quality of Life mod?

By that I mean the following changes:
1. The return of a Frogshoe and a Cloud of Frogshoe Balloons (though Frogshoe's sprite should be recolored with a new Lucky Horseshoe's palette). I won't lie, Cloud of Balloons is very strong, but it's just a more fitting upgrade. Besides, Amphibian Boots exist as a combination of Sailfish Boots and a Frog Leg. They serve as a more combat focused sidegrade of Frostspark Boots (since they lack various conveniences like the effect Ice Scates provide, but the Frog Leg greatly enhances wings, making them more useful during the boss fights).
Lastly, I don't think Elemental Ninja Boots should have Frog Leg's effects since combining boots with Master Ninja Gear is already pretty strong.
2. The Return of the old Utility Helmet crafting tree. It was a lot more exciting to craft it step by step. You should, however, be able to also craft Mining Gear from Ultrabright Helmet (skipping the Caving Gear crafting step) since it makes a lot of sense.
Also, Mining Gear's inventory sprite doesn't have a couple of pixels in the upper right corner. Check the equipped sprite to see how it is supposed to look like. It seems like that's a very old bug that was even present in the original Quality of Life.
3. It would be good if you ported the ability to craft every Moon Lord drop with 30 Luminite Bars at an Ancient Manipulator, making getting specific item easier. Speaking of recipes, it would also be nice to have recipes for Rally, Cascade (though you should add bones to the recipe to make it post-skeletron) and Cobalt Shield that the old mod had.
4. The lack of new items. Some of the new items are too OP (like Atomic Cloud Boots that are insanely powerful, Fishing Gear (and its upgrade) since it stacks with the Angler Tackle Bag and the Angler armor (besides, converting an armor set into an accessory is a bit weird), Enchanted Frog Gear since it combines a lot of good movement accessories in one item, Utility Helmet upgrades since having to be placed in a helmet slot is required to keep it balanced. I'd even say that these Night Vision Helmet upgrades are quite overpowered for the stage of progression they're available at in the first place)). I feel like these items are sort of out of scope of what Quality of Life was inteded to be since they make things a bit too easy.
5. Would probably be good to have Sharp Sea Necklace readded as well.

I don't want to offend you by any means with this request. It's your vision of the mod and I respect that. However, it would be nice to have the original version of the mod available as well for some variety depending on what other mods people are using.

As for your version of mod, I think Atomic Ninja Boots should get the Dune Rider Boots' "increased movement speed on sand" effect. It's sad that this effect gets lost after upgrading these boots.

By the way, this is a bit offtopic, but do you plan on porting ZoaklenMod to 1.4 too? If I remember correctly, you were the person who ported it to 1.3.5. Sure, a lot of content will need to be tweaked (for example, throwing armors will have to be repurposed), but it is a fun mod that people will enjoy.
