Pinstar Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Right now, the advanced meal cooker's recipes are a bit disappointing save for a few. What if we boosted the effective calories of all the advanced recipes, but in exchange make it harder to use the stove. Rather than just being another electrical object you can just plug into the network, what if you instead had to pipe natural gas to it. So it would be a bigger trade off. More resources and infrastructure needed but for a bigger payoff in effective calories. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeadfootSlim Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I mentioned this in a similar thread, but given that this is the team behind Don't Starve, I expect we'll eventually see a much wider variety of foods, both plant and animal-based. That said, the idea of upgraded systems interacting with more complex mechanisms (i.e. hydroponics, electrolysis) makes a natural-gas powered grill a great idea - especially since it gives you a way to use up natural gas from Fertilizer Makers without having to invest in the polluted-water problems of Natural Gas Generators. If it actually didn't need electrical power at all once supplied with gas, that could be an even nicer perk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummbar7 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Yep, it's a great idea. It'd be interesting if you could choose, actually. Electric or gas. The electric version should be upped in wattage significantly though. The same concept could be used for space heaters and tepidizers. Electricity is rather inefficient for generating heat, compared to gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if they didn't have power requirements (besides the implicit power from the pump). Of course, that'd just cause more heat entropy problems, buuuut I'm sure we'll find a workaround.
