Spliting Food

[MrLinkPigMan]

I saw the rhymes with play stream and somthing popped into my head when they had the pie and seth brought up that you should split it to feed others. this seems like a cool idea where you can split your food it two or maybe even more and it will half the hunger depending on the food

I had the exact same thought, and came to this forum section to suggest this.

 

I thought of a neat (and quite obvious, I admit) way to share food: equip the food, mouse over your friend, hold Shift (the mouse-over tip would then change to Share) and click. It may get annoying if a "friend" of yours started sharing dozens of seeds while you were trying to escape a tree guard's wrath, but we're all adults here, right?

I dont think it would be that usefull.

I can't see this being helpful, the only time anyone would use it is when they only have a single food item.. and a single food item isn't going to make much a difference, especially split in half. The only stuff that would be significant is crockpot stuff, and by the time you're making crockpot stuff you should already have consistent sources of food for everyone.

What about meaty stew? In any case, it's actually more social than useful. It would extremely cool if you had got a big piece of meat left and you shared with the friend that saved your life or started you off. Everybody runs around and pretty much does his/her own thing, except for when you need the gold to make an Alchemy Engine: you don't feel that connected.

 

I personally see this as something which would allow for a much stronger feel of interactivity between players. 

 

Also, although I don't know how this works in other countries, in Italy we consider eating together an extremely bonding activity. When you want to dissociate from someone, you say that "we never ate at the same table", and sharing food is considered pretty much mandatory among buddies.

I feel like we're missing a really great opportunity here.

As the expert player amongst my friends, I am the organizer and chef. There isn't any rules, (except I can no longer pick bushes as Willow) but it is easier for me to prepare food for everyone and store food for them. That being said, I could make use of a share mechanic.

Not sure this can be done in gameplay short of splitting stacks. Whether it should be done or not I'll keep listening to of course.

After a bit more time playing with Zhuzha Mazh, I am starting to see how being able to split food would be helpful. If we were able to share the one meal of meatballs we were able to make each day, we may have been better off.
