[pistolshrimp]

New Skill: Tree Tapping

Gives the ability to "tap" a tree.

Tapping Bucket
Hollow Reed + Bucket

Right Click a Tapping Bucket on either a Red Maple, Grand Maple, Birch, Walnut, or Pine Tree to "Tap" the tree.

Buckets passively fill up, Maple's only fill up in Cold Snap, Pine and Birch only during Everbloom.

==Maple Syrup==

Bucket fills with Unboiled Maple Sap
A bucket can then be used to fill a pot, which can then be place on a fireplace and lit. After X amount of time pot is 1/10 (of liquid first put in) filled with Maple Syrup.

Drinking Maple Syrup
Increases speed when using Foraging, reduces yb and phlegm drain while Foraging

==Turpentine==

Bucket fills with Oleoresin
A vial can be taken of Oleresin and placed in Steam Distiller to make Turpentine

Spruce Roots can also be boiled in a Pot to create Oleoresin

Turpentine is used to make Lacquer

==Birch Beer==

Bucket fills with Birch Sap
A bucket can then be used to fill a pot, which can then be place on a fireplace and lit. After X amount of time pot is 1/10 (of liquid first put in) filled with Birch Syrup.

New Skill: Lacquer Work

Anyone can make Beetle Juice (still Witches can only drink)

Lacquer: Beetle Juice and Turpentine are combined in equal parts.


Lacquer can be put into an empty Oiling Trough, works the same as Oiled Boards but creates Lacquered Boards instead.

==Other Crafts==

Lacquer Wood - Vanity Wallpaper - Lacquer Board x 5 + Leather x 5


Gold Leaf Chest - Lacquer Board x 16 + Golden Egg x 4
Structure same size and shape and storage as Metal Chest, but black with fancy gold leaf designs

==Color==
Small container structures which call for Board, Dry Board, Planned Board or Oiled Board when all Lacquered Boards are used the structure created will be a black version of it. This will be cosmetic only.

Example Structures - Chest, Wooden Box, Cupboard, Barrel, Big Barrel, Bookshelf, Potion Shelf

Nice idea!

[DarkNacht]

There is no RB or Blue Bile, the other Humours are Blood and Phlegm.
Also give a chance to find pine bark beetles or grubs when tapping a pine tree.

Dear MortalMoments

please hire pistolshrimp

Thanks.

I like the idea, two thoughts:

Assuming Syrups would be a new food group, tree purity should affect syrup purity. Since simple syrup dose not use items that can have purity, mixing 2 other syrups produces simple syrup also (so it can have a purity).

Or

If Syrup is not a food group (and instead is added to others, IE: Flapjacks w/ syrup is placed in bread group), Syrups should instead give restoration bonuses (IE: maple restores game, etc)

[LOMS]

Very solid suggestion, good job.

[Argentis]

Wandering does not decrease BB (last time I checked). Otherwise I love this suggestion. Hopefully the Lacquered Boards could also be used for inspirationnals and advanced buildings.

Idea for Buildings:

Replace some of the boards in the Brick Townhouse by Lacquered Boards.
Add some Lacquered Boards in the cost of Town Bell.

Inspirationnal:

Lacquered Box (++Perennial Philosophy/+++Arts and Crafts/+Hammer and Nails/+++Faith and Wisdom).
Lacquered tableware (see suggestion for secondary use): (++++Sugar and Spice/++Arts and Crafts/+Hammer and Nails/+Perennial Philosophy).
Lacquered Fan: (++Perennial Philosophy/++Arts and Crafts/+++Thread and Needle/++Natural Philosophy).
Lacquered Stones: (+++Mines and Mountains/+Natural Philosophy/++Arts and Crafts).'


Other suggestions:

Lacquered Coffin: Crypts now also require a coffin (either regular or lacquered) to successfuly bury a corpse. Lacquered coffin would give more benefits to the next of kin. Could also add gold plated coffins more efficient than lacquered coffins.

Lacquered tablewares: Reduce gluttony timer? Could also add silverwares.
