Stone soup

[menillos]

Some hungry travelers arrive in a village with only an empty pot. The villagers refuse to share their food, so the travelers fill the pot with water, add a stone, and claim they are making delicious “stone soup.” They say it only needs a few ingredients to make it better.

Curious villagers gradually contribute carrots, potatoes, onions, cabbage, meat, and other ingredients. In the end, the stone is removed, and everyone enjoys a delicious and nourishing soup together. Although the travelers tricked the villagers into contributing their food, they ultimately created a meal that everyone could share.


make a big ass soup where people can put stuff in the cauldron and it will change the stats it gives, then you can take the soup with a tankard or something and the charges of the soup are the same as the items trhown in it. We need comunity stuff or we are doomed to be a game of strangers.

Recurring idea. might not be bad, might have uninteded interactions if say, spice quantities don't get capped(tbh spices/ingredients in general should have rapidly diminishing effects above 100%). Might also be an R&D sinkhole with no real good foods to come out.

That's how investments work btw

I honestly think it should be a good way to make good food but make the recipes unknown you have to figure them out similar to Alchemy certain food items with synergize naturally as well if you put only intelligence based food items in you're guaranteed to get intelligence but you're hunger percentage you will receive the food from the food will be a lot higher so you can eat less of it overall the more variety of different attribute items to throw in the less the hunger cost but of course the more Randomness it will be more bulk items like beetroot or leaves of any kind will give you more energy but crappier stats and if you put items in it don't synergize they'll reduce the maximum stats gained so if you throw too many items in you're just going to have a heavy weighted soup consume 15% or more of your hunger for no good reason also have a risk of making something called like sludge which becomes a curiosity and it's not edible at all and if you eat it it gives you gut rot
