Food Variety

Recommended Posts

This is a suggestion for either the standalone or ARMA 3.

An ability to combine different food types in your underground base(Rocket has already expressed an interest in these, this is assuming they are implemented). i.e. Tomato sauce+meat+pasta=spaghetti, which would restore 1600 blood. The cooking would be performed in your base at a stove or microwave, and would take about 45 seconds of in-game time. Why? JUST FOR FUN! I would say a tasty spaghetti dinner would be more rejuvenating than eating pasta, hamburger, and tomato separately. You would have to collect cookbooks before you could make certain foods, and they would be divided into 3 categories-basic, average, and advanced.

Basic-Two recipes with a total increase of 33 percent blood gained. The spaghetti is an example of a basic recipe. Meat+two cans=1200 blood, whereas spaghetti=1600.

Average-Four recipes with a 50 percent total blood gain.

Advanced-8 recipes with total gain of 66 percent blood.

They would be found in supermarkets, and basics would be somewhat common, averages fairly rare, and advanced exceptionally rare. Also, some more types of canned food/raw ingredients would need to be added for additional recipes.

Sounds too much like a MMO style recipe system to me. Also, how would you get power to run a microwave?

A gas generator. Rocket has also expressed an interest in power for your base, so this would be a use for it.

I'm a big fan of food variety, I actually made a mod for Fallout 3 called "FDA" which added more food, drinks and drugs to the game.

More variety would be great... dried meat, granola bars, alcoholic beverages, etc.

As far as crafting I would not mind stuff like stews, roasts and such.

More food wound be nice just for variety's sake.

And you know what I think would be really funny?

On character creation, give each player a random food allergy.

You're in a hurry for blood, eating everything to can find and avoiding zombies all around you. Suddenly you're on the ground in shock from eating that Snickers bar you found in that shed thirty minutes ago, and you don't know why. Then you suddenly realize you have a peanut allergy and hurry to use your adrenaline (Epi-pen) to stop the reaction.
