Unripe bananas

[Wonz]

Bananas are strong we know. 

Ever seen photo of wild banana with seeds? 

So it could be creative nerf. 

You can now harvest green banana from bush in one phase before last to get unripe banana

Final phase banana

If you let them grow yellow they will grow seeds and you'll get wild banana which is worse. Maybe let it heal more nicely than normal banana, less hunger due to less flesh but due to seeds being annoying reduce sanity. Usable in crockpot but not as normal banana but just as fruit so you can have reason to make the fruit medley. 

Prefinale phase banana

Harvested green unripe bananas would need to "spoil" into ripened bananas which is what we currently have. More flesh no seeds. Not only makes it more difficult to manage the banana dishes but there's trade off in form of longer lasting fruit food. Since it will be fully fresh once it turns yellow, ready for consumption.

Bonus

With seeded banana there could be small chance for seed just like with stonefruits.

Really creative and fun idea! 

the strength of banana dishes certainly warrant more effort to acquire like this. And its a fun and unique way of doing it too. 

the spoilage time of banana dishes (shake and daiquiri iirc) was nerfed in one of the recent betas but it was immediately reverted in the next patch lmao. At least they removed meat as filler option i guess? 

The current balance of banana bushes is still crazy to me.

Unripe bananas sounds like a nice way to add a sort of a nerf to them, considering their strength at growing in any season at all times.

Maybe banana seeds could be a one time kinda farm grown seed? Something you can use on farms without the risk of having them grown too ripe, unless they spoil within the soil itself. Or it's too complicated and not necessary.

Another nerf comes to mind that their growth cycles could depend more on the seasons, being maybe most fruitful in spring while way less gradually in other seasons.

Other thing Klei never seem to work with is the world temperature. There's seasons and all, but thermomeasurers never comes in use for that, for both plant growth or anything.
