About fruits

[Ofisat]

Comparing fruits and rotten fruits to actual food is, to put it in a polite way, not that beneficial.
Fruit is pointless for gluttony, and only useful as ingredient in some things and mostly as fertilizer in its rotten form, this really does not qualify for a comparison in any way at all.

You say this because you, unlike Dallane, haven't been paying attention. Fruits aren't terribly useful for Gluttony right now because new food is just so difficult for us to balance in the current Gluttony system. We have plans for many, many recipes and uses for things like Fruit, Domestic Meat, Milk, Cheese, Honey, etc. We only put in a few potato recipes and haven't even added the beans. Plus the Vegetable/Cabbage food group we want to split up and expand. Once we have a new system in that is more simple and easy for us to code and balance, you'll see more recipes. Fruit as it is is definitely considered part of the food/Gluttony system. Part of the reason it rots is because it is a very advanced food. I'm not sure if John has any plans for more rotting of foods. It would be kinda harsh though, to make newbie foods rot.

Taken from this topic, to prevent going offtopic there: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=16193

Could anyone give me some more information about the use of fruits? How to use them in gluttony sessions? Wiki doenst say anything about it

Thanks in advance!

This.

You should really read what meow posted before ingoring it. Fruits are fairly essential if you want to make characters quickly.

And what about this?

You can just eat them as they are.

Fruits are powerful foods as they are because John realized after he made them that he seriously didn't want to add and balance their recipes, especially when he was already thinking about completely reworking Gluttony. So, you just eat them straight and do it quickly before they rot. Being so difficult to obtain and so quick to disappear means we could make them a bit OP when eaten alone.

Good for building alts. But how to make fruit trees blossom ? Do you need more than one full butterfly nest? Do they have to have some space between each tree? Do you need lots of bee skeps?

I believe each tree does a regular check to blossom during Everbloom once it has matured. If it blossoms, the bees/butterflies then have a regular check to pollinate. You should leave them alone when they're doing that. Space between trees makes no difference. I'm pretty sure number of skeps/butterfly cages makes no difference, they just have to be in range. I wanted likelihood of bees to pollinate to be greater than butterflies, but I don't remember if that went in or not.

Pulpish purgative.

ok thanks so far. Still the glutton values arent that great when used alone.. any things im missing?

Excuse me, but they are quite UP in comparison to anything worth cooking.


Also the purgative, this is the only real use of fruits, not in gluttony but in the process of raising humors fast, as the purgative reduces the F&F debuff.
