Here’s a perennial favourite: what features would you like added to the Long Dark, or what features would you like to see simplified or removed entirely?
(This is a decathread because we are too small to have megathreads yet)
(This might end up being my own personal gripe thread, so buckle up)
Here’s one: Cooking has too many recipes right now. There shouldn’t be six different stew recipes, there should be one stew recipe that takes (say) meat, flour, oil, and vegetables as input. The resulting calorie value, and perhaps bonus properties, should depend on what you add to it.
Acorn flour should be able to sub in for old mill flour.
I’d also say fish oil should work in lieu of cooking oil. Maybe some fish give you lantern oil, some fish give you cooking oil.
@rbos These are great. I absolutely agree. Esp about the flour. Need more synergy between recipes & ingredients because it’s just not realistic to carry all these things with you all the time.
@rbos I don’t much fancy the idea of pancakes cooked in fish oil 😝
That’s pretty fair. :D
Some renewable source of oil though, and they’ve already established the mechanism of getting leftover oil from the feesh.
@rbos a nut or seed oil makes most sense. Acorn oil?
Oh, totally! I wish I’d thought of that! Excellent.
edit: Though you need a press to get oil out of seeds and the like, if we want to follow IRL at all. It’d maybe stretch the imagination a little.
