cooking update brainstorming

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

I want to dive deeper into cooking and cooking related trades soon so want to throw together some ideas that were floating in my head.

• cake base / crust for cakes and pies, maybe also unify with the blaze cake one
• fluid soup, possibly with nbt values like with potions so we can support many combinations of ingredients, we cant do dynamic basin recipes easily but we can dynamically create static ones, just need to be mindful of the amount a bit.
• salting interactions
• salads, we might not have enough things to justify salads but we can have one like carrot salad or something similar

For trades i would like an infinite loop of trades that every time you finish a big batch you get a new order for a different random food type from a list so to automate that line you will have to detect all contract types in the loop and automatically switch them up

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

can you automatically swap out contracts

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

oh yeah they can be extracted normally

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

Its not that simple because you need to do it from above, but yea

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

ah, so you need to swap out the mechanism, or use a fan

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

I feel like there should be some minor way to get away with only having automated a handful of foods

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

yea, i was thinking a nice crane like thing that places the new one in fancily just for fun

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

In terms of farming i think we have a good selection, we don't need more crop types

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

same for animals

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

we do need a way to get ship

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

sheep

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

and make shrooms accessilble

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

like you use one of the trades reward items with a currently unautomated contract, then you get a new random trade

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

random from a selection of like 5

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

mac

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

which means your output is significantly lower depending on how it's balanced

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

hmm... maybe

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

needs to be a low amount or needs to have a way to know ahead of time for filters

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

otherwise you cant automate

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

i think for a "cooking" mechanic it's nice to have more ingredients thematically

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

would it be better if they weren't crops

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

I wouldnt mind more from more sources

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

like you get tomatoes through a trade or wierd alchemy

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

just not more from the sources we already have

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

yea we can do that

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

things that cant grow on the planet

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

so add a few more ingredient types you cant get yourself

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

tomatoes, spices, stuff like that

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

im not sure how well spices might work, given that there's usully multiple that could do the job in a dish

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

im not sure if you can do combinative block states like that

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

the model would balloon in file count anyway

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

ideally we have 8 models for number of slices, then swap out the texture of the two ingredient layers

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

Yes, hm. Need to think what the best way to do this is then

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

engineersmith_4628 ideas?

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

engineersmith_4628 on Discord says

Multipart block states?

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

engineersmith_4628 on Discord says

while you can't program the textures to each model - you can make a parent model then assign the textures to it depending on the state (look at my work on the crate/barrel model + blockstate)

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

engineersmith_4628 on Discord says

you can folder them up too; they don't all have to be in a single file

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

engineersmith_4628 on Discord says

plus; you can rotate. So ideally you will only have to model 2 slices, or 1/4 and then flip it for the other 3 times

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

engineersmith_4628 on Discord says

not that I see any point in any of this anyway. Why do you need to pick up a slice anyway, or put them down

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

engineersmith_4628 on Discord says

If you could eat - then I'd see the benefit of spending time on this

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

so if we have one or two toppings, eight colors of toppings, and lets say the pizza slices to 8 (could maybe be 6?) that gets to a lot of states, but maybe there isn't much drawback? Even if all of them and their texture variations are loaded to ram at all times it might be a none issue in terms of scale

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

cooking additions

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

so aside from pizza, I want two more fast food things, so any ideas are welcome

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

each of them needs to be at least a little dyna

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

doesnt have to get to as many variations as the pizza but also not only one like the cake

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

Also, i'd like a texture for a cake base, similar to the blaze cake base but for regular cake

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

So if anyones up for that it'd be great

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

Generic name on Discord says

chocolate and honey cake!

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

Generic name on Discord says

eh why not every colored cake!

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

Generic name on Discord says

ok if you want fast food specifically there is burger and fries

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

Generic name on Discord says

but then meat automation…

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

if you even think about it, betsy will show you whats what

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

Generic name on Discord says

what nooooo, i wasn’t gonna murder betsy

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

Generic name on Discord says

i was gonna make chick-fil-a

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

engineersmith_4628 on Discord says

Why not ice cream - lots of flavours. Similar shape. Can have an interesting production line for creating the tub. Then having to freeze it with some blowers or something

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

engineersmith_4628 on Discord says

Could have additional things like chocolate chips added into the mix. Extra

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

yes, icecream sounds perfect

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

i like
