outseeker Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Just thought I'd throw this out there for anyone who might wanna do it If a dupe has a low Cuisine skill, they have a chance to burn the food, creating (char)coal instead, so there's more of a point to levelling. Alternatively the cooking station could drop a lesser amount of the intended food plus burned charcoal. If something gets burned the dupe plays an angry emote and has to then scrape the burned parts off (extending the cook time and restarting the cooking animation before any food/coal is dispensed) As compensation for potentially wasting precious foods, a higher the Cuisine skill could create slightly more calories per meal cooked like +% per level up to like 200% max perhaps. That way when you are considering a dupe, one who can cook is actually quite beneficial :) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/152436-random-little-mod-idea/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way when you are considering a dupe, one who can cook is actually quite beneficial I'd bump the burnt food concept. Even if it only dropped the food quality or risked wasting it. Should make a suggestion thread. That would be a reason to use the micro musher till your dupe has a few levels or risk the biscuit.

Primalflower Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 I think this introduces a random element that doesn't really fit how ONI is built. but i think the idea is fun. it kind of makes me think about the surfing station and how the animation changes based on athletic of duplicants.

Similar randomness already exist when a duplicant harvests plants - it has random chance to spawn a seed based on dupe's agriculture Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/152436-random-little-mod-idea/#findComment-1680446 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never feed my pacu seeds for a meaningful amount of time for this exact reason, i don't like the significant built-in chance of failure, and i think it would feel bad if a similar mechanic applied to something as integral as cooking, much of how the game is designed feels like it is meant to go without player input after some time, and I think cooking having a chance of failure is weird about that.

I think I understand what u mean, you don't want a dead loss for the time taken to craft something. Really I still like the idea that if something gets burned they have to spend longer to clean it up, and in exchange you get a lil free charcoal plus your foods, and there's a reason to have Cuisine skill aside from being a tiny bit quicker Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/152436-random-little-mod-idea/#findComment-1680702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberwarlord Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Make it part of the negative traits that can spawn. Instead of no cooking. Make them a risky cook.

cyberwarlord Posted January 2, 2024 Share Posted January 2, 2024 59 minutes ago, SGT_Imalas said: food poisoning 2 Botulism. I'm still pushing the idea of disease and sickness progression tiers. Some guaranteed to get worse while others are random chance. And some based on temp/damage. No more walk it off every time atleast. Something where a weak immunity may make them more susceptible to disease and higher chances of progression. Also generic poison, acid, parasites, rabies, frostbite, burns, shock, concussion(falling blocks). maybe toggle fall damage(broken bone). Low oxygen:Hypoxia-Find a use for bottled O2. 1 disease for plants and critters. Wild ones are more susceptible to diseases. Side note: more medical items to boosted stats. This gives a reason to have a full time pharmacy. +2 for -3 skills.

How often it happens, it would need to be a long fall and set damage. Something casual.

outseeker Posted February 16, 2024 Author Share Posted February 16, 2024 lol I subscribed to this but didn't notice these replies somehow I love seeing the other stuff that comes up fall damage though uh idk I don't hate my dupes XD Still I'm picturing someone hitting terminal velocity and the animation changing to the classic face flapping in the wind, accompanied by the lil dupe "reeeee!" lol I don't wanna imagine the landing. *edit: ahh u made me do it.
