Ice Maker Makes Food Too Easy

[ProfMembrane]

the nerf should be not on the ice maker but on the meatball... freaking OP item, cooks fast, reasonable spoil time, TOO EASY to make, heals and recover sanity with an insane food value.... klei? nerf that!

Is this a joke? Are meatballs different than when I played last, because they barely heal anything, their just a lot of hunger.

I personally have an "no meatball policy" while playing, cause for exemple meatballs are not that diferent from meaty stew, while meat stew needs 4 meats to be cooked and meatballs you need one and 3 ice, so with the 4 meat to make 1 meaty stew you can make 4 meatballs, see? that's kinda OP for me @.@

Yeah, but you also need 12! other items like berries and such.

yes but if you read the post you see that you can get ice too easy, so the "12 other items" are totally irrelevant with an Ice Maker.

 

and they don't need heal to be OP, if I need hp i just make jerky

Food, health and sanity aren't really problems in Don't Starve by this logic. It's just that meatballs are easy to understand how to make. Try diving deeper into the world of honey; a food source arguably better than meatballs in every way.

he said they'd healed an insane amount, this is wrong, and using ice for meatballs is probably what shouldn't be allowed, not meatballs trhemselves

Soo not allowing using Ice for meatballs would be a nerf on meatballs... looks like we got to an agreement

btw I said they healed with an insane amount of food value, you misread it

I think really, across the board you shouldn't be allowed to use that much ice in any non-ice-based food.  Also I've never heard of hunger being "healed"

I said that they heal (an small amount) And fill hunger. but Yeah I think that they should give an general buff on all the recipes and make 2 or more fillers automatically turn the food into wet goop. (unless the recipe especifically needs 2 twigs / ice) so I agree with you in that xD

I remember back in the early beta I think food had specific values based on what were the ingredients.

I think back in the day Honeyed Ham was the OP OP thing, oh the days.

 

I think now it is only worth making if you use monster meat and ice.

I use meat. Monster meat are for the pigs.

With the addition of the ice maker, now all you need for meatballs is a log and a monster meat. If you fuel the ice maker with the log, it gives you three ice, which, when combined with the monster meat, gives you a meatball. Anyone else this is too easy?

I think a couple things could be done. Make the ice maker overheat if you use it too frequently. When it overheats, maybe get the player wet.

Second...ice shouldn't be a crockpot filler. Neither should twigs. They could be specific ingredients for specific foods, but using them as filler, especially with hurricane season and the ability to get tons of ice that way, is kind of ridiculous.

I agree on this completely. If anything, that ice maker should be overheating from overuse.
