[Suggestion] Higher-tier Meat & Food Prep Upgrades

13 votes

Two suggestions for cooking and drying meats. 1) Higher-tier cooking devices should cook multiple items at the same time. 1 item on the campfire, 2 on the firepit, 3 on the fireplace, 4 on the potbelly stove, 5 on the biofuel stove, and 6 on the electric stove (when that is finally released). 2) There should be higher tier versions of the drying rack for meat. A tier 3 version could require charcoal (for "smoking" the meat) and a tier 4 version could run on electricity. Each higher-level device could prepare foods faster and offer an additional slot, similar to the higher-tier cooking device suggestion above.

Adding support here - - Maybe to more cooking slots, but absolutely to the notion of a smoker or dehydrator that takes up less footprint and is a bit faster than the racks.

allow the fire pit to cook multiple pieces of meat simultaneously. It shows 3 meats, how about cooking 3 meats at once of the same stack or 3 different stacks at once. Allows for more use of the firepit than just a campfire or fireplace

Also allow for more cooking opitions and maybe do 2 stacks at fireplace. Since both are upgrades compared to campfire, should be able to cook better foods

i built a potbelly stove to see what it brought: but in testing, it doesn't work quite like the other fireplaces: it only "burns" when processing an item.
it can't be activated as a constant heatsource. thats... Really Not how a potbelly stove top fire is Used in a survival circumstance. the cost to effect is disproportionate.
it also seems to be focused around soups, but no pot...
more options/ utensils would be cool. perhaps an upgradeable set of iron cookware to allow different dishes? add a "grilled" or "barbequed" option set as base w no cookware. the base cost could then go up, and added utensils be slightly expensive, and Still be a great build.

i tested the fireplace too, and it's... weird. seems aesthetic only; has zero advantages & several disadvantages, especially in storm damage settings.

Many of these things have been implemented or changed.
Better put this on DONE.
Write a new specific suggestion if needed.
