SirLickandStick Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Heres the deal, Im not a chemist, nor do I call myself one. This is just an idea I had that would be pretty awesome to add into the game. Oil would be an interesting and very balanced liquid to add to the game. It adds another challenge for the player and makes another fuel source. Pros: Another fuel source that would be a bit better than coal, little worse than Hydrogen. It would create Co2 and Contaminated water (just based off what I've seen oil-burning engines create) It could use a pipe into it. Oil would be a secondary water creater, sorta like how right now we rely on slime, vomit and piss for water... which when you think about it is kinda broken that the dups dont drink water but they create it somehow... So it could be a way to patch that out while still giving us a way to make water. (Ill get to an alternative for this later) Cons: Limited supply, nonrenewable. Could mix with water, making the supply of water unable to be used for mixing with food without causing sickness (100% chance id say) I know there are a lot more things this could do, but I havn't fully thought about it all. Just wanted to know what everyone thought. Eating and DRINKING I thought a good thing to balance out the fact that we can make water from vomit and piss which comes from dups that NEVER drink water would be to start making them need water. Just a little to balance this. when a dup pukes it makes 1800g (i think) of contaminated water. I suggest they need to drink maybe 1000g a day and the vomit is 800g. Then they'd need to drink again. That way, you could add in thirst, it would be a new challange, you could add in new buildings and objects like a water silo or a water cooler, stuff like that. Just a thought. Not hashed out or fighting for it. I just think it could be fun.New plants and creatures? If you add drinking water as a machanic, you need to add things to help alleviate the need in the beginning, because adding water needs can be a headache in the early game (i think it would be) So maybe for the Tubers add that they have some water in them when they eat them? Maybe add some water values for mealwood and increase the calories in the Blossom, or vice versa. Or maybe add an animal that has a "water sac" in it that splurts water when you kill it. Just food for thought. All of this is just speculation, just fun thoughts for a game I've been having a LOT of fun with. Tyvm for reading!

AlexRou Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Why would a oil engine create water? Shouldn't it consume water for cooling?

Burning hydrocarbons consumes oxygen and creates COx and H20 (and other intersting stuff that isn't good for you).
