cooking update brainstorming

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

I want to dive deeper into cooking and cooking related trades soon so want to throw together some ideas that were floating in my head.

• cake base / crust for cakes and pies, maybe also unify with the blaze cake one
• fluid soup, possibly with nbt values like with potions so we can support many combinations of ingredients, we cant do dynamic basin recipes easily but we can dynamically create static ones, just need to be mindful of the amount a bit.
• salting interactions
• salads, we might not have enough things to justify salads but we can have one like carrot salad or something similar

For trades i would like an infinite loop of trades that every time you finish a big batch you get a new order for a different random food type from a list so to automate that line you will have to detect all contract types in the loop and automatically switch them up

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

can you automatically swap out contracts

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

oh yeah they can be extracted normally

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

Its not that simple because you need to do it from above, but yea

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

ah, so you need to swap out the mechanism, or use a fan

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

I feel like there should be some minor way to get away with only having automated a handful of foods

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

yea, i was thinking a nice crane like thing that places the new one in fancily just for fun

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

In terms of farming i think we have a good selection, we don't need more crop types

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

same for animals

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

we do need a way to get ship

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

sheep

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

and make shrooms accessilble

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

like you use one of the trades reward items with a currently unautomated contract, then you get a new random trade

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

random from a selection of like 5

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

mac

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

which means your output is significantly lower depending on how it's balanced

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

hmm... maybe

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

needs to be a low amount or needs to have a way to know ahead of time for filters

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

otherwise you cant automate

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

i think for a "cooking" mechanic it's nice to have more ingredients thematically

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

would it be better if they weren't crops

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

I wouldnt mind more from more sources

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

like you get tomatoes through a trade or wierd alchemy

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

just not more from the sources we already have

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

yea we can do that

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

things that cant grow on the planet

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

so add a few more ingredient types you cant get yourself

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

tomatoes, spices, stuff like that

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

im not sure how well spices might work, given that there's usully multiple that could do the job in a dish

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

unless we genericised them

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

we have salt, we can also have pepper and that should be enough

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

we can add a few more if we want, its just another ingredient, doesnt need special treatment

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

but most of what i want for the cooking update is function and new processing lines, new ingredients only when needed to facilitate those

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

yeah fair

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

engineersmith_4628 on Discord says

https://modrinth.com/mod/create-cafe this mod has my vote. I like how it adds fluids, but also they have shared item lines e.g. the cup + boba

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

i think it could be a good idea to fill out the fluid pool, maybe? i definitely feel like it'd be nice if we had a fluid of every color

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

tomato sauce is the perfect red

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

I like the concept of tomato sauce a lot

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

i wonder if we could have a recipe like "drop this in a liquid and don't let it touch the ground for 4 seconds

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

so you need to either use fans to keep it slowly moving

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

or have a very long drop

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

engineersmith_4628 on Discord says

You mean like how fans can blow water over an item as they pass for X amount

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

sorta?

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

i mean it has to pass through actual blocks

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

engineersmith_4628 on Discord says

mhm; having a bath for items does sound interesting

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

engineersmith_4628 on Discord says

I'm not sure if belts can be water logged tho

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

autistic.sack.of.friends do we have a way to texture items depending on their data easily or do we need a mod for that

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

pulling up the kube stuff i did for stack size varying items

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

it is a BIG hassle though. you need 2 files per image
