Eggs

[Draco122 412]

So something as a food source that is renewable is Chicken Eggs, it also opens up options for future recipes in cooking.

 

Players could find Chicken eggs as a low chance drop inside chicken coops and players could also find an egg when they harvest a chicken. Eggs could be stacked upto 3 per slot and give a large boost in energy, however eating them raw runs the risk of getting sick and could be a renewable source of cookable food.

yeah , good idea! like cows & goat give you milk and with sheep "hair" ,u can make some rope or mix with leather cloth to make them warmer!!its a simple pattern but pretty logic!

I wouldn't recommend eating any eggs you find in a chicken coop unless there are live chickens nearby. Also, while you can probably technically harvest an unlayed egg from a dead chicken, it wouldn't really be like a fully developed laid egg (though probably still edible). I think harvesting meat is plenty.

It would be cool if coops with live chickens nearby had some eggs though. I would love to be able to catch the chickens and carry them around in your hands and take them to your home-base chicken coop in order to start collecting eggs.

I wish it were like Resident Evil 4 and grenades would pop out of the little cluckers.

As a person that eats 60 eggs every 5 days Yes. Add eggs in game.

I saw a chicken a few days ago and I chased the little clucker, but he hid in some tall grass. I never did catch it.

 

It seems that the devs have already done the hard part. Now all they have to do is convince the little bastards to lay eggs. I have confidence that the devs can be pretty persuasive, when they want to be.

Keep in mind,that not all eggs come from chickens.

I wonder what a crow's egg omelete would taste like... :rolleyes:

It would taste very much like a chicken egg, only they'd be smaller in size.

 

There's not much different in "taste" compared to other eggs, if anything different eggs would likely yield more when cracked open onto a frying pan. For example a Crow egg would be slightly smaller than a chicken egg, but a Duck or even a goose egg would be much larger and therefore yield more. I could imagine that later in development, different eggs could stack upto different sizes, so a Crow or a Qauil egg could stack upto 8 due to their size while a larger goose egg takes up a whole inventory slot.

 

I also thought of ways they could be used as well with different cooking items. Frying pans can be used to make the traditional sunny side up eggs (which will degrade quickly to the spoiled status), Scrambled Eggs or Omelet. Cooking Pots can make Hardboiled Eggs which will degrade very slowly and act like a percentage item, in that they can be eaten in stages.
