Late game idea: modern people forget how to eat wild food.

futurebird · 2019-05-03 03:56:56

As the generations tick by the foods that you can eat become more restricted. A modern city person would get sick if they just munched a root they dug up with a stone. You need cooked, processed food. So, by gen 6 burdock and wild carrots are removed, by gen 12 no more wild onions or cactus fruit (but we should have domestic cactus to replace it)

A gen 25 person finds something like raw corn and berries *less* nutritious (you can eat them but don't get many pips)

Basically put a little of the history of human evolution in the game and make later gens benefit more from cooked foods and be unable to eat or get little benefit from wild foods.

It would mirror human history...

I often eat wild food when i am out in the wild searching for iron or other resources.
I like eating them and i want to keep doing it

I'd really rather this not be a thing lol.

Also, since when are "wild", natural foods less nutritious than processed foods?

Kind of sounds like you're wanting later generations to be needlessly snobby and picky.

The people who eat bean burritos but not cooked beans, snobby and picky?

Truth is I'm just trying to justify the existence of the pork taco.

I think ideas like this are just generally bad in my opinion. If you said something more akin to eventually domestic and wild plants die that would make more sense. Having a berry bush that has lived for over six thousand years seems a little crazy.

I know the reason this isn't done right now is because he can't just make something remember how many times it's been something. Basically, the reason he hasn't done breaking newcomen pumps and what not.

I'd rather see food broken up by yum/meh/yuck mechanics or potentially having super yummy foods but they aren't very nutritious. Maybe a spoonful of ice cream only gives two pips but it boosts your yum chain by three (but doesn't give the bonus pips.) This allows foods that are good solely for boosting chains (think potatoes), foods that are only really good for raw value (milks) and maybe foods that are just deemed bland (berries.) Maybe raw foods don't give yum anymore? Of course this screws over eves trying to boost fertility but maybe a few eve foods are extra yummy like the berry pie variants to make up for both food loss for making them + to cover lost yum.

I would like to see yum chains be less of this lifelong stack of cards. Processed foods would give more yum than natural and would cap at say 10 to 15. Eve could still wild yum and in towns you wouldn't be spending so much time trying to stack it up. Losing a chain wouldn't be as devastating and fertility would level out. Having a very diverse amount of food would still be an advantage because you could keep your stack at max easily for longer, and could reattain a decent yum without traveling out to the wilds for food or overeating for yum.

Fine, even MORE needlessly snobby and picky! XD

And I can definitely empathize with that, but I don't think this would be the way to go about it.

Now you are making me feel weird for eating wild blackberries, dandelions, morel mushrooms, and licorice fern in the real world. Am I some kind of modern day savage because I still remember how to forage?

Fun Fact: Nasturiums are beautiful AND edible. The flowers and leaves add a peppery kick to your salad.

BladeWoods · 2019-05-03 18:49:20

I do like the idea of somehow making food harder for late towns that are too easy right now.

CatX · 2019-05-03 18:56:07

I suspect it is only too easy right now because there is never an exponential population growth. At least there doesn't seem to be more people in late game towns than in early game villages.

doesn't make much sense to me
