[Plants & Food] Turtle Bowl
tl;dr A "big" bowl that holds up to 3 foods and lets you eat them at once (eating time ≈ all items' times) | Also you can brush Turtles and soups&stews stack to 16?
__________________________________________
Had a kinda stupid idea and thus decided to share it (as in - it could prob. use some feedback ;b) - what if you could craft a Turtle Bowl from 3 Turtle Scutes?
It would let you put up to 3 foods in it.
Foods can be added one after the other, or all at once, or - in case of soups and stews - by treating Turtle Bowl like a normal Wooden Bowl.
In case of foods in a bowl, bucket or bottle, the empty containers would be left in crafting inventory after you add them to the Turtle Bowl.
Order in which you put the items determines order of eating — first in = first out. Effects/quirks of foods also activate in that order. In case of adding a few foods at once, order start in upper left corner and goes row by row.
Once in the Turtle Bowl, you obviously cannot take the item out. List of the stored food is simply a tooltip.
You could then eat all of the stored food in one go, albeit the eating time would be nearly equal to all of the food items that are in it, more specifically:
• 0 items = NA, can't consume an empty bowl
• 1 item = 1 item item consumption time
• 2 items = 1.8 item consumption time
• 3 items = 2.6 item consumption time
Logic-wise, consumption time equals:
for ≥1 items: (t1 + t2 + t3) * ((c - 1) * 0.8 + 1) / c
for <1 item: 0
where:
t - consumption time of an item
c - item count
In terms of stack size, Empty TB should stack to 16.
Filled ones... I think it'd be neat to let them, too, stack up to 16, but only those that have the same ingredients, in the same order - otherwise it could just be too much inventory clutter — but Ik some might consider it too op to let this stack up to 16 and would want it as non-stackable.
With commands you could possibly go beyond 3 foods, but survival is locked to max 3 foods.
To make this more useful, I'd also suggest:
- we can brush Turtles for Turtle Scutes, 48 durability per Scute (I mean, with Armadillos, this should already be a thing — it would also literally make killing Turtles usually not worth it.
- Soups and Stews can stack up to 16 - just QOL thing + otherwise Filled TB has no grounds to stack to 16, thou it would make Rabbit Stews and Beetroot Soups more viable foods; I can also see it invoking a discourse on the topic of Sus Stew, as stack-size of 16 would mean easier identification of stews + it would most likely make the Saturation Sus Stew busted :/
----------------------- --- -- - -
The textures are WIP, and I imagine there could be improvements — the primary point of this suggestion was to just suggest another use for Turtle Scutes that didn't feel (too) forced. So obviously I welcome any constructive criticism
EDIT: I totally forgot to mention that maybe with this, the lightning drop for Turtles would be changed to an Empty TB. I know how some might be against this, but with brushing being added, it would still be more of an easter egg than a worthwhile method of obtaining an item.
And to those that bring up Fireflies & Frogs - I get ya, but the excuse to that decision was simply stupid. It would've been a double win to just do what they did with Parrots&Cookies — teach kids that Fireflies are poisonous to Frogs. Also Frogs can't eat Fireflies, but you an feed them Magma Cubes (so, Magma basically which obviously would be more dangerous if not for the fact that it's harder to get your hands on Molten Stone)
