Soups and Stews

Post by DeltaBro101 »

It could be only cause I have the flu right now but as I'm playing I would really like to make some soup. There is already the ingredients for basic noodles (water, flour and eggs) and many veggies that are soup and stew worthy. It could also use the cauldron and take a while like how cooking meat on the spit does. It could also have the same kind of design the spit does; that it takes a long time to cook but makes more food. It could also be stirred just like how the spit can be turned. There's plenty of types of meat and many different soups and stews that can be made. They also are historically accurate since meat and other things would be cooked all day so that everyone would be fed by the end of the day giving that everyone can work without having to check on food often. This could also be used to feed more then just yourself as making a stew or soup is usually a community gathering kind of thing. It could also be good cause it could fill many food satiations like veggies and meat as well as food. Hopefully i'm not the only one but to everyone have a good day.

I think a big group stew would be pretty cool to have for a feast. There are a lot of ways this idea could be taken and expanded on or adapted. Cool idea!

We call it simply, Russian soul.”

A big village soup pot thats related to the bonfire. Each villager can add an ingredient to raise the quality of the soup by 1. Its orginial quality can be 1 itself but offer a great amount of stats. Take the potluck from Harvest Moon or something like that. Now peeps will say, this can be taken advantage by bots. Well put in a charisma requirement or something. Botters abuse everything so why cant we have more village related content due to the players who will always be ahead due to bots?

I think the q thing wouldn't be fun but maybe it would just be a way to make a lot of food while being friendly to your fellow man. The q could be changed by the q of the total of the ingredients since that would make more sense then having it set up a check of your skills. It could also really cool to see certain recipes made by a certain village as like their own tradition. I wouldn't see that as a bonfire kind of thing but that would be pretty cool. It would be cool just to do more food items with the cauldron.

I said a bonfire thing due to it being village related, aka villagers present bonuses.

Bump

Soups should be very nutritious. But not very well tasting.
They should not give fep at all (or then just very very small amount)
But instead, they would give energy if heated on fireplace. Some kind of pot should be added that can be used as a container for soups, soup also could be heated in it.
Drinking soup while it's hot/warm would give plenty of energy.

On a slightly related note, how about gruels and porridges? I think many soups are pretty nourishing (i.e, worth FEP), but gruel and porridge were the mainstays of ancient society for energy, not nourishment, if you need a high-energy, low-FEP food.
