Trail Mix

[PistonPower]

Thinking about the foods already available in the game I came across the idea of trail mix; Berries and seeds, nothing more, nothing less. It could be made in a crockpot as a slightly better alternative to carrots or berries.Any ideas?

Well, the problem with this is that seeds have been disabled for use in the crockpot as they were too easy to use as a filler for it(I think this was the reason?)

And you can eat it while walking on the trail. lol

I think it would be a good tier 1 (no research machines) level of food. At tier 1 you're basically a Nomad, so trail mix with two things that you can find would be the only food you could make without a crockpot. It's not really a necessary addition, but it seems like a harmless and enriching thing to add to the game.

Yes! It could be an optional research item then?Something early on in the game to make berries and seeds more useful

Yeah, I can get a stack of seeds I'm not going to use if I fastidiously collect all the seeds I see. Also, in early game seeds aren't useful til making farms and giving an incentive to eat seeds cuts into farming. It's like it's the anti turtling food.
