Cooking Extras - making Hooch, Beer, Catching Salmon, Beehives and Mushroom Gathering
Was advised to put this in the Ideas Forum - it's http://www.glitch.com/forum/general/12187/
In a previous topic we discussed if it was possible to harvest Honey and Mushrooms naturally in the wild. No it isn't - we have to buy them from vendors or Auction - but I'd love to see beehives and mushroom gathering in Glitch.
Hmm, it’s a shame. Here are some more cookery things that I’d really like to be able to achieve and possible ways of doing so. Devs please note this cooking mad Glitch!
Making Hooch (fairly simple compared to beer but we’d have to have cooking skills)
- Take cherries and turn them into fruits such as grapes, whortleberries, mangosteens and oranges using a fruit changing machine
- Add some spices like cinnamon and nutmeg using a spice mill
- Add tiny bubbles using a bubble tuner
- Add a compound (maybe Spriggan) which you could make from nil by grinding down rock --- > into elements --- > test tube it to Spriggan
- Put all into a bucket to ferment (takes time) – needs bucket
- Put finished Hooch into empty bottles – needs empty bottles
- Get drunk or sell
Making Beer (4 main processes for which we’d need cooking skills)
- Germinatory – add grain to water and heat (germinates and releases sugars) – need bucket and time to do the process
- Brewinatory – we’d need a new product – ‘Malt’ which could be crushed into a powder and added to the bucket (makes sugars dissolve) – takes time and final mixture can be called Wort
- Hoppinatory – add a new product to your bucket of Wort called ‘Hops’ – time needed for it to boil and then cool
- Fermentory – add compound Spriggan (as for Hooch) and Tiny Bubbles – yaaay after some time alcoholrrhoea takes place and we get Beer
- Decant into Beer Cans – need cans
- Drink to recover from all that or else leap into the air shouting ‘Eureka’ and sell
Catching those nifty Salmon- Requires specialised pools or rivers or simply holes somewhere
- We need a skill called ‘Salmonation’
- Hang around a pool/river/hole with Hook – a metal object that can be made from metal and all that entails if you want to make from scratch – fish for Salmon (takes time)
- Catch Salmon and earn badges for it
Cheers and now I need to go and cook something as I'm starving !
