Slime based foods cost too much slime

Post by Sevenless »

Four inventory slots per food item or one hand slot for five food items is just a bit too excessive in cost. The foods aren't insane power foods to justify the annoyance. They would be more balanced if they cost 0.50L of slime.

Useless is one thing. Weirdly out of cost proportion is another. Slime food just seems odd, it would have to be a real power food to be worth the hassle.

It's not finding the slimes that's the issue, it's the sheer bulk of inventory space bringing it back up. You also have the issue that it's also 12 hours of mediocre curio (that gets decentish if you can find good Q, which you'd want for food anyway).

Use a cart and 6 barrels to transport up the slime then.
Also you will be mostly using slime for golden cats later in the game not food.
