More food needed

[turtletechy 37]

I find that food is never a concern in the TerraFirmaCraft world. While I'd argue that that's mostly accurate, being that if you do a bit of work, you can find enough food to sustain yourself, I feel it's too much available. While at first, there is some shortage, and the need to find some plants, you can easily put off food for several days with little negative effect, and then simply eat one meal and be back up to a full hunger bar. It just seems ludicrous. Not to mention, farming ensures that there is no shortage due to the huge amount able to be farmed easily, and with a small amount needed, that doesn't spoil, you can build up stockpiles that'd last an in game year very easily. I believe an easy fix would be to put in place food spoilage, and preservation methods, such as cellars, silos, etc.

This has been discussed to hell and back. Yes, we know food is easy to get. yes we would love to have better growth and food mechanics. Yes spoilage is only way to make it work. Etc..

I believe the Dev's have said something about making this in a later update, if it isn't installed in ExtraFirma first...

The fact that it has been discussed to hell and back AND not yet implemented is not a very good reflection on the community (and devs), and has the undesirable effect of inhibiting further suggestions...

I'm sorry for not knowing it's been discussed. It wasn't discussed while I was active on this forum. Sorry.

It does take some time and "wasting food" to get all the special effects meals... Isn't that what everyone is looking for?

I do not believe that it is for a lack of trying that we don't have food spoilage. this is a little more difficult to do than we may expect, especially because they have not real references in Modding to go by.

 

Thought I think RailCraft did it with Wheat, but you needed it to be in your inventory.

The problems are not with community or developers. The problem is that MC is terribly designed and doesn't support this kind of modifications easily. Of course anything can be done, but it might require lots of effort.  Lets not forget there are two guys using terrible language on top of terribly designed game for free.

terrible language

 

Hey. At the end of the day, Java did nothing to deserve this kind of disrespect from all of you. It's a language that does things it's supposed to well. Minecraft is not one of these things, is all.

I can imagine how much FUN all the developers are having/going to have when updating to minecraft 1.7.2+ : /

 

But anyways, we (the forum users) have been discussing food spoilage basically since TFC came out. It was one of the first suggestions to make the game more difficult (along with permadeath and a few others, but it looks like we got REALLY tough enemies instead).

 

It is my opinion that the Meals should not restore as much as the sum of their parts x2. The advantage of meals should be more compact storage of food, not more efficient use of food. Besides, you already get a special buff that is worth making the meal for. On top of that, perhaps heating the meal should only provide a small bonus to how filling it is (</=20%).
