Methods of Cooking on a Campfire

[Draco122 412]

Something I feel that needs to be addressed and certainly done is the topic of food and campfires. I respect that for a simple campfire you'd need either a cooking pot or a frying pan to cook anything on there but whats disappointing is the fact that you NEED those items to cook any raw meat. With the way 0.55's loot has been, cooking raw meat has become somewhat more popular providing someone can find those materials. But lets be real here, it's not gonna last forever so here's some methods I'd love to see in 0.56 for cooking.

 

• Sharpened Sticks

Posted a few times before but the concept is still simple. A shaved sharpened stick and with your chosen meat or fish. Placed on a campfire it will slowly cook without damaging the meat. It's a scout favourite and simple method to cook food over any campfire but it limits you to how much you can cook at a time. Typically only 2 or 3 sticks on a campfire at once.

• Improvised Cooking Tripod

This one only requires a few other materials. With a stack of 5 sticks and some wire you can craft an improvised cooking tripod. You can cook meat straight off from this like a grill, it holds 3 spaces the same as a frying pan, see the image below for reference. Add an ashwood stick and another roll of wire to allow the use of a Cooking pot. To balance this out compared to the Cooking Tripod, the Improvised Cooking Tripod will degrade with every use until it becomes ruined.

 

• Stone Oven

We already have a Stone oven but it doesn't actually allow you cook anything directly from it like what most actual stone ovens would do. Instead it acts just like the Cooking Tripod, you still need the Cooking pot or Frying Pan to use. So in essence, while time consuming to collect all the necessary materials I think that the Stone oven should allow players to cook food without the use such items but the capacity for cooking them is limited. Lets say for example, a Stone oven can only cook a maximum of 6 items at a time. It should work like a Cooking Pot, you need to view the contents first and add the chosen meat before you can cook anything.
