More Pumpkin Uses.

Postby PhaedrothSP » Sun Nov 08, 2009 11:05 pm

Right now each Pumpkin harvest gives 1 Giant Pumpkin(4x4 space).
Each of those pumpkins can either be sliced to give 8 Pumpkin flesh and 8 pumpkin seeds, or be used to make a pumpkin mask.
Since thats not really much to make me want to grow them more, how about other uses?

I suggest two things:
The Jack-O-Lantern, basically it would be a new building option, functioning like the Candelabrum, except it would only stay lit for a single night and would decay much faster.

The second is a Pumpkin Pie. It would require bread dough and a few slices of pumpkin flesh.

Though, it would probably be better if use were given to things that don't currently have one, like Blood Stem for example.

Jack-O-Lantern's would be awesome to decorate your claim with on Halloween. They should have an effect though, like a -1 psych debuff when you're near them.

Or they could just be a simple reskin of a current object instead of a bunch of new code for a bloat that will have no effect ever because anyone who uses psy will not build them near himself.

Well the full grown pumpkin sprite is large enough to make it possible.

Uhm...using linen, branches and the mask made from a pumpkin, you could make a nice scarecrow. But, well, we haven't got crows or other birds so far, so our crops aren't in danger.

But that's an excellent idea!
If birds aren't going to be in for a while, it would be neat if scarecrows would scare most animals. Perhaps with more effect when they are higher quality. In fact, they could "scare" wild animals and attract tame ones, so that first of all wild animals tend to avoid them in some roughly circular area, and secondly that tame animals nearby drift towards it. Of course, they wouldn't work on bears...

They wouldn't be useful for everyone, but anyone with some fields and a meadow would consider it, even if it made hunting harder.
Surprise.
