Perhaps it would be interesting to expand on the food in SPD and add recipes for new morsels to cook. There's currently the blandfruit recipes and meat pie, but adding more morsels could make the on diet challenge and the rest of the game more interesting, and/or strategic.
Getting food ingredients:
- Berries (from the huntress' first tier perk) can now drop from grass (3x rarer than seeds, 1/75 drop). Sandals of nature may increase the drop chance for berries (up to 1/27), and berries may not appear without the huntress perk when the barren land challenge is active.
- Egg has a small chance to replace rations when they appear, like cornish pasty (60% ration, 20% egg, 20% pasty)
(The egg provides less satiety than a ration, so if the player does not try to cook then the On Diet challenge will be more difficult)
New recipes:
Raw egg
The egg has a shatter option like honeypot, and you can also throw it to shatter it.
When eaten, it gives the same effects as mystery meat (random debuff, 150 points, 50 on diet).
Not intended to be eaten raw, like mystery meat.
Fried egg
Made by throwing the egg or broken egg into a fire source, or cooks if you are on fire and have egg or broken egg in your inventory.
Gives the same satiety as cooked meat or small rations. (150 points, 50 on diet).
A decent morsel, like cooked meat. Is used in new recipes.
Idea is too large for one message, I'll put the rest of the recipes and effects below.
Example images are provided each new food, listed in order:
- Egg
- Raw egg
- Fried egg
- Blueberry pie slice
- Cherry cake
- Fruitcake example (replace the grey with the specific blandfruit type)
I am not good at pixel art and used some of the in-game items as bases for recolouring.
