Crafting Recipe - Jerky

Good day devs!

I think most of us have been there at one point or another. The season is good for hunting and one has surplus food for a change. Life is good. Unfortunately, food only lasts so long, and you can't always eat in time. Then, when winter comes, you find yourself at a shortage again. Allow me to suggest a new crafting recipe to solve this problem and make things more fun to boot!

Let’s craft jerky! :D

Jerky could be crafted from small, medium, or large kills, producing one use of jerky for each use the carcass had. The jerky would last for twice the time the carcass would have originally. Have a freshly caught turkey? The jerky would last 20 Ros. Have a boar that will expire in two days? The jerky from that would last four days. Jerky that goes beyond its best by date would become too hard to eat, turning into an amusement item with as many uses as the jerky once had.

If this is too OP for a craftable item, perhaps the jerky would only make half as many uses as the carcass had – eight uses of meat would become four uses of jerky.

This is just something I thought would be fun and different. ;D It would take coding, new artwork, and a bit of writing to make it all work.

You all have a lovely day!

Stop making me hungry Wildtale :(

Support I think, it's not even unrealistic since it can just be made by laying it out in the sun, lol.

Whoops, sorry Jay. I just got some jerky in the mail and my brain wanted to translate it to Wolvden. XD
I personally have a small pack and great hunters, so this would really help me to avoid waste.

I think this is a great way to incorporate the mechanic of saving food, even if just for a little bit longer. Good idea!

I love this idea! Support!

support!

However, I talked about this in a different thread but basically, I'd much prefer jerky having longer shelf life however providing less food that is 5% for adults and 10% for pups since it'd be super easy to make only seems fair in my book

edit: Also being able to make a huge abundance of it so it only seems fair that jerky would provide less food but last longer

Ahh, so half a use instead of a full use for each piece? It might be easier to get half the uses from a carcass since we don't have half portions of food in the game already, but I could see that working too. :3

@Wildtale

Nono I meant as in a full "use" would be 5%/10% for adults/pups rather than the full 10%/20% probably should've worded it better my bad

@ 🐸AngyFrog🐸

Ohhh okay. Either way then, the outcome would be the same. Less food over all, but it lasts longer.

Support! Winter is a very difficult time and I would be happy to have a feature to make it less challenging. :)
