New powerful (and rare) autumn grass and virginian snails

This is in connection to my previous suggestion on the subject of helping players catch up to titans, but simpler to develop.
(viewtopic.php?f=12&t=8161)

It didn't turn out to be the best of suggestions, I'll admit. But I figured I'd post it anyway because I hope it might inspire Jorb and Loftar in some way.

Autumn grass is not used that much in any recipes where (legacy) humus can imbalance the equation. So let's add a new and rare type of autumn grass that has a very high hidden matrix multiplier. The following foods would be greatly affected:

A Snake in the Grass (This food can be imbalanced with legacy pumpkins, so remove the "any plant" requirement)
Berries on a straw (Okay, this food is also affected by legacy humus because you can plant berries in a pot. So this recipe has to be changed or the new and rare autumn grass should be unable to go in this recipe to avoid imbalance.)
Unbaked Wortbaked Wartbite (OK, so this doesn't work either because of the devil's wort and the oakworth. Sigh.)

Anyway, the Three Virginians and the Autumn delight would work well for this purpose.

Virginian snails are also almost not used in recipes with legacy affected components. The virginian shellroast IS used, though. So that would have to be changed too.


Anyway, it's just an idea and the devs would know best how to make it work. .. Also, I thought we could use the "brilliant honeydew mechanic" for the rare autumn grass and virginian snails. It would not be possible to find these rare autumn grass or rare virgininan snails from just running around (and thus put the strong characters with plenty of phlegm to waste at somewhat a disadvantage). You would have to actually pick up the stuff for the item to appear in your inventory. The tooltip would state that the item is a highly potent component for cooking.

You write as if there is an infinite supply of legacy humus. I doubt very many people are using their limited supplies of legacy humus on growing berries.

Humus is not as big of a problem as you think it is. It will eventually run out. It's not really worth reworking the whole system to compensate for a finite resource like legacy humus, or legacy seeds, in my opinion.

Keep the ideas coming though. It can't hurt, and gives everyone something to discuss.
