Microbe Brew... and more


Recommended Posts

Yep, I'm the guy who chimed up with the "Yeast Van" thing during the stream.

I had a bit of time at work the day before that, and made a list of a few things that may be cool to have in the game. So here goes...

Super Foods

It would be cool to have foods that provided a buff/debuff. Right now food isn't very developed, to the point that sensible folk just feed their dupes raw meal lice. I would like to see more advanced foods have a "potion-like" effect. providing a buff (and corresponding debuff) to the dupe that consumes them for a certain period of time. This way of doing things would require a way to determine which dupes eat which food, but that could probably be determined by the priorities or jobs of that dupe.

Microbe Brew

Made with contaminated water and soil/algae/whatever. Yields a high calorie drink that reduces stress and buffs strength, at the cost of learning and tinkering

Lice Wine

Meal Lice and Slime lovingly fermented to create an exquisite drink that all the most discerning dupes want. I hear that cycle 37 was a great vintage. It buffs creative and cooking at the expense of athletics

Diggers Milk

Clay and Water. Sure it tastes bad, but it boosts your digging and construction. So what if you can't taste anything and lose your creative will.

Dr. Zo's Cleanse

It might boost your "medicine", but the added stress of trying to keep up with your trendy dupe friends might make this blend of chlorine and coal not worthwhile.

Rock Soup

Raw Minerals and water. It will alleviate hunger, but provides no real calories. You'll starve if you keep eating this.

Things I want to build

Pneumatic Tube

The best one-way to transport a dupe a long distance.

White Noise Generator

To increase quality of sleep (and mask loud sleepers)

Motivational Speakers

P.A. system that shouts inspiring slogans to those within ear-shot when being worked by a dupe. All dupes within earshot of a powered speaker recieve a localised buff to all attributes.

...ok that's it for me. Hope some of these ideas (or something spawned by them) make it into the game!
