Forum:Yani: More food!
It's kind of boring that there's only a handful of comestibles in the game. there's a ton of foods that could be interesting to add, maybe with some neat effects. let's see what i can think of..
Coconuts could be fun. maybe make them an option to be #kicked from trees. they could fall in any adjacent square, and if you're not wearing a hard helmet and it lands on your square it could bonk you on the head for a point of damage and a single turn of stun. they'd take a few turns to eat since you have to crack them open.
Pouch of trail mix. decent nutrition to weight, and maybe gives a small speed buff for a little while. energy for hiking through the dungeon and all that. maybe even give it "charges". you eat a handful of mix, get your speed boost, but it cant be "Recharged" (because the bag is just empty)
Bananas could leave a peel in your inventory, which rots away after a while, but until then, you could drop it and if a humanoid (including you), walk over it, they slip and are stunned for 1 turn
Sausage. high nutrition/weight ratio, but non-blessed ones make your hands slippery. (because the non-blessed ones are cheapo ones :V )
Jerky: Very high nutr/weight, but very slow to eat.
Ginger root: Similar low nutrition like garlic/wolfsbane, but cures sickness. cursed ones do a point of damage to you, but still cure sickness (It burns!!)
Oyster: Slowish to eat since you have to pry it open, decent nutrition, small chance of also having a pearl inside! (would have to add a unique gem type that only spawns from oysters.) Vegetarians and vegans can #force the oyster open to check for a pearl without eating it.
Potion (?) of coffee. Appears in delicatessens as "Dark brown potion". small nutrition, sleep resistance for a couple thousand turns. cursed ones just have the small nutrition. (Decaf!?)
potato: Fairly high nutrition, cursed ones poison you.
Anyone else have some fun ideas? Doubt we'll ever see more food added, but you never know. it was fun to think about regardless. SeriousHex (talk) 03:31, 25 June 2024 (UTC)SeriousHex
