More stuff I want for Warly

[Wurtstool]

Before you go straight to the comments and and be mad at me for advocating changes for Warly, I'm in the camp that Warly is a very well designed character and doesn't need changes to his playstyle in the slightest. That being said, I still want to present ideas that would build on top of what Warly already has to improves his niche as a character in DST and make him more in depth overall.  

New chef specialties:

• Fresh fruit crepes (rework): can "overheal", turning excess heath into temporary hp that acts as armor in other games. 
• Flambe steak and veggies: (1 fire nettle, 1 meat, 1 veggie; 25 hunger, 0 sanity, -3 health), provides immunity to freezing and being frozen solid for 5 minutes
• Slurper Garbure: (1 slurper pelt, 2 meat, 1 veggie; 40 hunger, 5 sanity, 0 health), health is healed/taken away to match your hunger (after  the +40 hunger is applied)
• Electrifying Milky Caramels: (1 electric milk, 3 honey; 15 hunger, 15 sanity, 0 health), +20% speed boost for 5 minutes (I do miss coffee from shipwrecked)
• Meaty hotpot: (1 koalapant trunk, 1 meat, 1 egg, 1 fish; 200 hunger, 10 sanity, 12 health), -33% hunger drain for 1 day
• Mandrake Tart: (1 mandrake, 1 egg, 1 onion; 150 hunger, 150 health, 20 sanity), hostile mobs that stay within 2 tiles of you for 2 seconds will be put to sleep, lasts for 2 days and can occur once per mob

New Spices:

• salt seasoning(the only thing I would change in Warly's kit): applies a flat +15 health to the croc pot food instead of the +25%. I say this because I feel salt seasoning is basically underused since only a select few dishes provide enough health for salt seasoning to be worth it. 
• herbal garnish: (3 units for 2 forget-me-lots) applies a flat +15 sanity to a croc pot food

Other Warly perks I want added:

• Warly gains a +20% hunger bonus if he eats any of his specialty dishes
• Warly's food buffs last twice as long on him only (ie, volt goat jelly lasts 10min on Warly instead of 5 minutes)

Other QoL:

• Players other than Warly can use his portable croc pot and gain the cooking time bonus, BUT they can't cook Warly specific dishes and has a 10% chance to make wet goop regardless of ingredients
• Players other than Warly can use his grinding mill to a less efficient degree providing 2 seasonings per craft instead of 3
• Players other than Warly can use his seasoning stations but takes 10 seconds longer to apply it

I wouldn't mind if Warly had some kind of tell for if one of his dishes he ate recently was still on variety cooldown.
Like maybe a blue timer overlay over his crock pot dishes similar to the Forge weapons and Wanda's watches.
Or a unique examination like:
"I just ate that earlier."
"I feel like eating something different today."
"Variety is the spice of life. This is not."

This. 100% this. Klei if you see this this needs to be a thing. ...please?

[Owlrust]

If nothing else, it would be insanely awesome if he at least got his bonus to eating crockpot foods from the base game again. Or at least remove/rework the penalty to repeated dishes, or remove the increased hunger drain.

People are just going to cry "OP" over speed dishes unless it costs one Guardian horn and three thulecite.

[Wurtstool]

Also an unrelated non-Warly dish I want added:

???:

• 1 monster meat, 1 nightmare fuel, 2 filler -> randomly apply -20 to +30 hunger, -20 to +30 health, -20 to +30 sanity

I do want some chaos in DST

[GuyNamedChris]

Glommerous Meal:

• 2 Glommer Goop, 1 Glommer's Flower, 1 Glommer's Wings

Increases naughtiness upon consumption.

This! 100%!
Would make for a killer "sub-quote" like walls and their sub-quote saying they can repair them. This would be a very welcome addition!

[Mike23Ua]

3 things I want:

1-Portable Crockpot useable by anyone (unless Klei has his special food dishes codes to work WITH that crockpot.. then they should probably change it so only Warly can make those foods but anyone can use portable cook pot & if trying to make special dishes as non-Warly they get wet goop, monster lasagna or whatever)

2- Portable Cookpot useable as a Melee Weapon that never loses durability but isn’t very effective either (similar to Woodie with Lucy Axe)

3- Chef’s Pouch being changed into a Portable Icebox/Saltbox exclusively to Warly, it just makes sense that a professional cook is going to properly know how to longer preserve food spoilage.

If he got those changes I would adore the resident Cook 

[Yuuko]

Yeah - now that I'm playing Warly I find it a bit annoying that other people can't use his crock pots.  I'm usually the one to start setting up a kitchen b/c I'm the one to use it, but that doesn't mean I'm there to cook every single thing anyone else is going to eat...  so it would be really useful for other people to still use his crock pot.  Even without the time bonus, this would help a lot just smoothing out base design.

The dish recommendations look good too - I'd love a better use of koalephant trunks and

YOU HETHENS!!!! What is wrong with you XD

I mean yeah - I generally like SOME of these suggestions...

[DrMcGillacactus]

I like most of this.

I do think other characters should be able to use the portable crockpot, but the tradeoff for other characters shouldn't be luck based
I will never advocate luck based success
(Also the mandrake tarts effect just feels weird to me, but that's just a personal nitpick)

I don't think this is necessary hot dragon chili salad and a campfire already accomplish this.

Warly already has the best stomach in dst lasting 3 days without eating this is excessive. Also Warly's hunger drain is 20%

I don't think Kiel is a fan of speed boosts anymore due to how much players focused on it.

This makes the ability to even use his crockpot completely useless as no amount of faster cooking is worth a 1/10 chance of all ingredients being wasted.

This is far too powerful 

I don't have much issue with the other changes but alot of this is over tuned as heck that being said I wouldn't mind more special dishes as long as their effects are reasonable.

[Cheggf]

I think the unique dishes are tied to the crock pot instead of Warly so in order for other people to be able to use them, a minor benefit, the related code would have to be completely reworked to be based on Warly + the crock pot instead of just the crock pot.

[Yuuko]

On a serious note - I think it would be nice if Warly started with like a seed pack with 1 pepper, onion, and garlic seed in it.  It would be nice to not be so rng dependent on getting peppers going quickly.  I just planted about 30 seeds and no peppers... if I roll back I can get them to reroll and probably get a pepper but it feels bad to manipulate the game in that way... but... I'm specifically playing this game session to try and get peppers early.

It kinda feels like rerolling for triple mac tusk or reed trap :\ so much invested time just to blip it all and restart :\ 

[TyphusTraveller]

I quite like the ideas for these recipes, sounds very cool

This is funny.

Yes please. Maybe 10% or 15% would be enough. There is already a lot of speed boost stuff. Doesn't have to be Warly specific, just from somewhat rare or hard to come by ingredients.

 

Other than that i'm indifferent to your suggestions. Feels kinda overwhelming but usefull, cheap and not really needed but i wouldn't mind.

I'd rather for Klei to focus on other stuff.

i actually like both of these - first will make crepes actually useful even for wes (which is his favorite food), and the second will, well, gives speed boost which everybody likes.

too cheap, I think - 45 sanity for 2 of the most common weed. Maybe 2 units for 3 or 4 forget-me-lots?

good idea - remember that SW Warly gains 33% more hunger for cookpot food?

wouldn't this make him better for boss annihilation then Wolfgang or Wanda?

Everything else... is not necessary at all, if you ask me.

[BezKa]

I'd generally like if he got more dishes as more updates roll out. Any new dish is a Warly buff, as it gives more ways to get 100% out of food, but when figs appeared i was kinda hoping he'd get his chef special including them. 

Maybe some other time. 

[Gemantri]

I personally would like to change Chef Pouch into something like tackle box but for food. It would be good for holding food (and spices?) to cook on the travels without sacrifising inventory space.

would be OP af... but yeah, I would like this too.

[Yuuko]

I must have went through 100+ seeds first autumn without getting a single pepper...  kinda depressing tbh...
