Suggestions about research materials

I'm wondering how people might feel about having the research machine maybe tell you a little bit about the item you throw in. Maybe it could tell you something about how it can be used in the outside world? For example if you throw in a carrot it could say one of a few things like "Can be cooked" or "Can be used as bait"

It's not exactly because I had trouble finding things like that out on my own but it just seems a little strange that a research machine does nothing more than give you a few points when you put in an item.

Hmm, I dont know, part of the fun is discovering what you can do with something. If you throw something unique in the machine and it tells what it is for, it would be a bit dissapointing.

I wouldn't be against the idea... I admit I already had a leg-up because I became interested in Don't Starve after watching a Let's Play video series. Man the guy in the Let's Play died a lot... and I learned from it. He also died in ways I would never have died... so there's that too. I had to show him how to do it right (figuratively).

Well even the machine saying something like "Traps catch rabbits" or "gold nuggets are shiny" or even "Carrots are vegetables" would be fine. It's not that I want the machine to help me with what it does necessarily I just think a research machine would let you learn more about what you put in.
