More uses for eggs and chicken meat

Postby Potjeh » Mon Apr 12, 2010 2:26 pm

I've got just 6 coops, one of which is just for raising chicks, and I'm having a really hard time getting rid of all the eggs. I hatch a lot of them, but then I also have a problem with cupboards of chicken meat that just can't be eaten. And yes, I have 4-5 miners helping me eat eggs and chicken.

So, I'd really like some recipes that can condense hunger from eggs and chicken. Pancakes quite simply fail because they fill a TON of hunger (I'll never understand why). Maybe add sponge cakes, which could use a couple of eggs each and be like a weaker version of butter cakes. As for meat, coq au vin (chicken + chantrelle + wine) would be nice. I understand that dex isn't supposed to be easy, so maybe coq au vin shouldn't give more FEP than simply eating the chantrelle and roast chicken separately, but fill less hunger instead.

Maybe eggs could find a use in Icon painting for your altar?

We could also use eggs to make pasta, which could serve as a base for multiple recipes.

Should probably nerf the food gained from pancakes as a first step, but I also agree. Omelettes and stuff would also be cool.

...pretty sure nobody makes pancakes, seeing as they require milk, wheat, AND metal and give you a smattering of different FEP which, if you have domestic animals and farms, there are far more efficient ways to get. Or do you have access to a secret stat tracker console and it appears to you that Pancakes are simply far too rewarding?
Surprise.

Making them less filling means making them better. The fundamental logic is that low filling and many FEPs makes for good eatin'.

Yeah, if pancakes filled as little hunger as honey buns I'd eat them all the time.

Also, when do we get pancakes with Nutella?

And maple syrup!

Seriously. +1
More Chicken and Egg recipes would greatly increase the value of a chicken coop, which for me at the moment, is unnecessary and therefore absent.
Ill just wait til they're q200+ and steal a pair to breed for bones.

Peter is right. But if you are intent in keeping them useless at least make them as little useless as possible and remove the agi from the advanced pancakes. Making them would still be a waste of time but at least you'd have more control over the feps you eat.
