Cooking Up Some Thoughts

Please bare with me...I'm more of a lurker in forums than a talker, but thought I might try to throw out a few ideas that I have on the cooking, "farming" and (what I like to call) bar-tending parts of the game - all of which I love to do in game :)

I think I'm at a level in the cooking part that I just have to keep cooking the same things over and over again and not seeing any new quests for it, which is okay...but... what I'd really like to be able to do is be allowed to make up some of my own "recipes" instead of having to do only "set" ones.
And, depending on what combo of food I use, can vary the outcome of the mood booster (maybe be able to make a "Devil's" food cake that can send you to "Hell" for those who like to go there :D :D) 
Make different combos of pies that, depending on what I throw in there will add or minus the mood.
In other words, have more of an experimental type of cooking as well as the set recipes. I could really have a blast (maybe in more ways than one :P ) with that. This could go for the drink recipes as well.  :)


Let me be able to get to a to certain cooking level that I can grow my own mushrooms, make my own oils (salad, sesame, etc. ) "brew" my own beer and hooch and maybe even be able to use some of the rocks I get from mining to be able to craft an ice maker. Even get to a level that I can catch my own fish (can you tell I hate having to drop everything to run to the vendors for an item that I can't make myself? lol)


(I'm requesting this for jdawg so he doesn't break his leg on all of the food bags I have lying around in my house the next time he needs to visit (((HUGS))) :D :D )...Have food pantries in your house so that you can store food from your garden in. (In my case, a really BIG food pantry as jdawg can attest to :P )


AND maybe be able to buy a "farm" house - should cost quite a bit more currants to buy but have maybe 20 - 25 garden plots, maybe more than 6 tree spaces and would have maybe a cellar type space for growing eggplants. I owned a cave for my 2nd house purchased but it wasn't very big and was kinda a claustrophobic's nightmare lol. I love the house I own now...very nice size, but wouldn't be enough room for my next request which is...


More kinds of critters LMAO!
Would love to have sheep and cows and rabbits and...and...and deer...and...and - well, lots of new critters.
The cows, rabbits, deer, and sheep could be used for the food recipes (the "beef" stew meat from pigs kinda gets my goat...Oo...GOATS, too! lol) plus they could be used for newer craft ideas such as making leather and cotton to be able to unlock new clothes purchases - and ya got to have a lucky rabbit's foot, ya know :D :P


Anyway...thought I'd throw a few of these ideas around. Hope you don't mind :)

  • I love the farmhouse, more critters, and definitely would like the ability to combine foods/spices, etc for customized recipes.  Great food for thought :D  

    I was on Doon Way, and really had to move up to Marypole for the extra space for gardening/trees.  I love my house but would pack up and move to a farmhouse in a heartbeat!

  • Aww...ty :)

    Yes...my first house was on Doon Way, too. Then I moved to a cave on Lethensome so that I could have an eggplant tree but really didn't enjoy being cramped in the house with the tree there too lol.
    So I moved to Marylpole and absolutely love that house but, like you, would move in a heartbeat if I could own a farmhouse!!

  • I like the idea of having a nice big Cottage style Farmhouse with lots of patches for trees (ie Orchard),as well as more animals,but I really hope our Devs create a way to keep the little blighters out of the house ~the piggies eat just about anything they can find,so it does not bode well to have inventory 'surplus' strewn all around the house with pet oinkers around...and here you thought unwelcome visitors entering your home and taking your stuff were the only threat to your wealth. LOL! =)
