      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Small game

4 posts in this topic

After a short search in the search bar, I didn't find any suggestions related to adding new kinds of small critters to hunt and trap.

 

Frog- just catch them by running after them, as simple as that. Most nourishing part is the legs. Found in marshes and jungles.

Grasshoppers- maybe a sort of net of basket of straw to catch them? Normal ones are found in dry grass in late summer and a bigger variety is found year round in the tropics. Whole insect is edible if  you pull the head off (and the intestines that come out neatly with it)

Small birds- use a simple bird snare, craftable with sticks and cordage. Pluck it, gut it and roast it on a fire, so you get something to stuff your winter clothes with. Found pretty much everywhere.

Squirrels-Found in cold and temperate forests. Catch them using a loop of strong string tied above a long branch leaning against a bigger tree. As the squirrel's head touches the loop, it instinctively  rushes forward, effectively hanging itself. Squirrel can be skinned and cooked on a fire. It's pelt could be perhaps used as currency? 

Minnows and shrimp- Available in ponds and rivers in jungles and deciduous forests, these again require a basket/net to harvest. Again, you can cook them on a fire or use them as bait(?)

Crayfish- In clear lakes and rivers, craft a crayfish cage out of sticks. You can pull the intestines out, stick a twig up there and roast them on a fire. Perhaps the claws could have some cosmetic use?

Shellfish- Already suggested, basically found on temperate and tropical beaches, can be stuck to the rocks (like limpets) or buried in the sand (like razor clams). An edible type of shellfish lives also up to the arctic climates in rivers and lakes. 

 

Remember, these are not necessarily meant as a staple food, only something to rely on for a day or two if you failed your hunt or couldn't find anything at all. All these critters would have a saturation value not comparable to bigger game or domesticated livestock. These also make nice snacks for the first day(s).

I think seaweed basically fulfills the "I'm not finding any food at the beginning" function.  Not that they wouldn't be fun additions.  But things that are fun but don't server a need or purpose are probably low priority for the foreseeable future I'd guess.

We really don't need most of this, but expanded fishing would be nice. So would shellfish like lobster and clams. They would be the protein equivalent of seaweed.
