Just playing around a little bit and hit a stash of MREs right at the start of the game. My character was hungry/thirsty, so I ripped one open and heated up some food, mixed up some lemonade, and wolfed it down. Yum!
Now, coffee time! ā wait, I canāt just dump it in a mug with hot water? The āPowdered Coffeeā that comes in MREs, etc. is freeze-dried instant coffee, not grounds. I know a ton of material in this game is a āyes, weāll get to it eventuallyā - but Iām hoping this one is on the roadmap.
It would be very easy to add a recipe for instant coffee using just clean water and powdered coffee if you wanted to. It would just be a Json edit in fact.
there -are- a lot of recipies that use coffee as an ingredient, and to add a new ātypeā of coffee theyād have to change things around a lot, itād take a bitā¦ and theyāre likely focusing on more important things.
No it really wouldnāt be a lot of work. Probably take about as long clicking through folders as adding another recipe, especially when itās primarily a copy paste job with just a few requirements and ingredient options removed. Would be far from the only recipe that has a limited duplicate with a requirement removed and ingredient changed. Submitting it is probably more work than the tweaks themselves. Unless the powdered coffee isnāt a separate item then itās more work but shouldnāt be too much even then. Havenāt taken a good look at MREs for awhile myself.
It would have to be powedered coffee in a nested container, it has diffrent calorie counts, all of that would have to be adjusted in some shape and for
ā¦ iām more for just playin what i have than putting in all the effort to add to it, but thats just me
Eh depends on how the nested containers are coded. Havenāt tweaked any of those yet. Probably mostly a lot of grunt work given how many types of mre there are if a new type of item needs to be added. I might take a look but got a bunch of other stuff Iād rather work on so no promises.
This makes the most sense, even if just for my own game/playthroughs.
Just spinning off a new āInstant Coffeeā recipe to only require powdered coffee + water and making it possibly less enjoyable or effective sounds like a great idea.
The larger efforts of renaming the existing āpowdered coffeeā to āground coffeeā and creating an all-new āpowdered coffeeā to replace into MREs, etc. is for another time/obsessive impulseā¦
while i agreeee with you, that there should be alternativesā¦ at the same timeā¦ its real easy to find a coffee maker if you go into any town in the game XD
