Ciao Siara,

I don't know about making a mod, but you as Kaleun have other options besides watering down the gruel. If you're within range of a supply ship (Versorgungsschiff), they'll give you food as well as fuel.

Six weeks was a typical patrol length. With a resupply at sea, you could stay out for three months without austerity measures. In the case of the Monsun U-boats, they resupplied twice at sea to get to Penang (that was the plan at least, until the Allies started sinking supply ships).

Alternatively (& this probably did not happen in RL), you could visit a friendly port, or a neutral one if you're careful, and go shopping!
