[Suggestion] Tech Tree - Food Rework
Proposed rework of the Tech Tree in relation to Food:
- Cooking Station, Kitchen Bench -- Food prep only.
- Potbelly Stove, Biofuel Stove -- Stovetop cooking only.
- Canning Station* -- Replaces Berry Jam. Unlocks a variety of pickled veggies and fruit jams.
- Fermentation Station -- Replaces Wine/Beer/Mead. Unlocks a variety of alcoholic beverages.
- Stone Oven** -- Replaces Bread Dough. Unlocks a variety of baked goods and desserts.
Mortar & Pestle becomes an Expansion:
- Cooking Station / Kitchen Bench -- unlocks Flour & Flatbread Dough
- Herbalist Bench / Medicine Bench -- Medicines & Honeycomb Products
- Ammunition Bench -- Gunpowder, Volatile Substance, etc.
This rework alone would save 12 Tech Points that would otherwise be used on a single consumable / "basic" recipe. Could even use the "free" spaces for new kitchen decor.
*Would be cool if the workbench had a refillable jar visual or something similar.
**Stone Oven not to be confused with Stone Furnace (ore smelting).
