Here’s a perennial favourite: what features would you like added to the Long Dark, or what features would you like to see simplified or removed entirely?
(This is a decathread because we are too small to have megathreads yet)
(This might end up being my own personal gripe thread, so buckle up)
Another cooking gripe: A lot of the new recipes don’t use “prepared” versions of ingredients, like everything else. This makes them inconsistent with other recipes. Why rosehips and mushrooms and burdock, and not prepared rosehips, mushrooms, and burdock? Why is acorn bannock calling for acorn grounds instead of raw acorns?
For that matter, why aren’t we preparing carrots, potatoes, and such? The entire “preparation” dial when you start a new recipe should be separated into steps done ahead of time, when you don’t have to worry about your fire. The preparation for meat should be cooking it first.
@rbos yeah, agree. Where it trips me up is that rosehips are a usable item now, so it’s no longer a no-brainer to prepare them as soon as you have a minute.
Plus for me, that’s an extra line to put in my already extensive inventory spreadsheet.
