Woby Snacks can be turned to eggs

[kroban]

Look, I hate to snitch, and I main Walter, so if this thing stays im fine with it, but I think its a bit OP.

Woby Snacks are easy to stack, you get them from 1 Monster Jerky, non-perishable, and you can turn it to eggs with a Birdcage. Basically this is  1 monster meat to 2 eggs.

To be fair, its not like Walter had trouble farming eggs before, you can semi-afk farm morsel while at base. But when it comes to Woby Snacks idk what yall think, personally I think its a bit busted since you can technically store "non-perishable eggs" in the form of Woby Snacks while also "duping" them.

I don’t have an issue with the egg thing, since as you said Walter was already very good with morsels. Frankly, this seems like a waste of the treats. But I do think you should have to craft the drying racks before putting them on Woby, and the conversion should be 1 monster jerky:1 treat. Easy eggs for a character who already could get easy eggs is nothing next to being able to turn 19 points of Woby hunger into 56.

Not necessarily game breaking, but not something I'd be bothered by if they changed it

I propose this gets turned into a mechanic and walter becomes able to use eggs as slingshot ammo

I'd personally want this. deals very little dmg but does sth special like perma aggro until death?

[Echsrick]

have you tried giving pig king the treats too? so you could get 2 gold for 1?

eggs make the enemy wet and confused. This is balanced by the fact you aren't making stacks of 30 eggs an item, you are shooting whole eggs.

the time used for drying is probably enough to gather 2 stacks of monster meat

drying is passive though. you can do both.

You're right. I just feel like its a rather expensive way to get gold.

I think it's interesting. There's no need to change it. People are never short of food.

Yess for boosting Walter's menace side! Like launching eggs at pig houses to make them wake up at night to check outside 

I'd rather see the larger meats result in 2 eggs from a bird, than have Woby treats no longer result in 1 egg 

[Walrusst]

Mind you if we are going to start using eggs as ammo I want to be able to load up and shoot lightbulbs too.

[lowercase skye]

You said yourself in the main post that this is a non-issue: Walter can passively gain morsels just from killing birds that land around him. For the amount of effort put into obtaining monster meat, building drying racks (unless you want to use just the 3 on Woby, in which case it's even less of a problem), drying all the meat, crafting it into snacks, and feeding it to a bird, you could have just done literally anything else for eggs and gotten far more. As for them being non-perishable egg storage, I point to Tallbird Eggs, which are already exactly that.

[Walrusst]

It feels like a lot of the walter perks people are objecting to are non-issues for him to start with just cause he has like six different ways to do it better if he just shoots some easily one shot small animal.

Klei would really need to make a butterfly queen and a bird themed protector to stop walters hunting from being easily abused, but given I know two people who swore to never play again when they saw they can't outrun the vengeful rabbit king instead of being forced into a combat encounter, more rabbit king alikes are probably not wise or on the cards.

You need monster jerky so i think its fine.

This skill is also kinda mid already so i think it needs this.

While this does seem kind of small it got me wondering how do they interact with pigs I gotta test this when I get a chance.

Pig King doesn't accept Woby Treats, but he does accept eggs, so technically you can, but it's kind of a waste of time at that point. You have to go through the entire "monster meat > monster jerky > Woby Treats > eggs > gold" pipeline. But it's still a pretty nice option tbh

Pigs do accept it as meat, just like Woodie's Idols for example. Idk how much hunger it counts if you want to recruit them (probably works the same as a morsel), but with 4 Woby Treats you can turn them into Werepigs.

 

[Civecilim]

you can just bundle an egg, nobody care

 

It's a little nostalgic in that it reminds me of when the bird used to give you an egg for an egg
