I am rewriting Purchase Nectar to solve a problem (Patreon)

Turns out if the nectar does not have a Quality assigned to it, you can't serve it...

I hate when this sort of thing happens. I make a mod, the stuff in it all works, it's all clean and figured out, and then some external contingency happens that means...well, no, it needs some more work. Because who would've thought this would have a problem like that?

I have a lot of sympathy for game devs, generally, as a result of stuff like this.

Turns out that the standard way to make a "purchase picker", the little store window that pops up, doesn't have the means to assign a Quality to objects, because you need to use the Recipe data, not the Object data, and Recipes don't work in these. So I made a functioning purchase picker that functionally buys you a functioning Nectar bottle...but you can't serve it because the game doesn't know what to do with the new glasses you get from it. (You can still drink it!)

So I have to use a custom-made thingydoo by Lot51 (that he made for basically this exact problem, actually!) to make the interaction from scratch with new data in it that lets the recipes be used and lets the purchased nectar have quality which should allow it to be served.

So far I'm an hour into the process and I can't figure out what's wrong with my interaction...so I can't even check if I did the purchase picker right...to even begin to check if the nectar can be served.

I'm getting pretty frustrated and am taking a break. I am not super familiar with interactions and feel like every time I try to make one it doesn't work and I can't figure out why.

The mod works fine, and it would be totally fine if it were any other object that you didn't need to serve and split into extra objects. But you just can't serve the nectar until I remake all this junk.

It's fine to keep using, but I'm aware the nectar can't be served and am trying to fix it. Sorry!

As an added bonus, though, this version will be better- It will have limited stocks so you can't buy out a ton of the special nectars all at once, and all the nectar should be in one menu isntead of two (with occult nectar still hidden unless you're the right kind of occult).
