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! â wait, I canât just dump it in a mug with hot water? The âPowdered Coffeeâ that comes in MREs, etc. is freeze-dried instant coffee, not grounds. I know a ton of material in this game is a âyes, weâll get to it eventuallyâ - but Iâm 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 âtypeâ of coffee theyâd have to change things around a lot, itâd take a bit⌠and theyâre likely focusing on more important things.
No it really wouldnât be a lot of work. Probably take about as long clicking through folders as adding another recipe, especially when itâs 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 isnât a separate item then itâs more work but shouldnât be too much even then. Havenât 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
⌠iâm 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. Havenât 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 Iâd rather work on so no promises.
This makes the most sense, even if just for my own game/playthroughs.
Just spinning off a new âInstant Coffeeâ 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 âpowdered coffeeâ to âground coffeeâ and creating an all-new âpowdered coffeeâ to replace into MREs, etc. is for another time/obsessive impulseâŚ
while i agreeee with you, that there should be alternatives⌠at the same time⌠its real easy to find a coffee maker if you go into any town in the game XD
