Cooking meat with pot

Postby Addicted » Wed Dec 29, 2010 12:21 pm

EchoMan: Changes are being made to pots in game.

- From now on, any pot can be used in any cooking project previously requiring a certain size of pot.

- From now on you can't manufacture small or big pots.

- All future cooking projects will be based on the amounts required for the big pot.

- Some time in the future all small and big pots will be converted to their regular variant. E.g. a "small stone pot" will be converted to a "stone pot".


It would be nice if the "cooking meat (dung)" using a small fire pit kept the pot reference in the fire pit drop down menu. Only because I'm used to it and there are so many ways to cook meat, I get all confused.

I've added (pot) to all firepit project names that required them. I have no idea why they were removed. I don't even know if I removed them. But I don't think so. :)

I removed the "(pot)" because it should be obvious what kind of pot is needed (any kind). Keeping it makes about as much sense as adding "(bellows)" to a steel refining project, but if you think that it improves the readability of the list we can of course keep the info.
Pretty in pink.

Since not all projects in the firepit requires a pot, I think it's good for useability to easily see the requirements already in the drop down select box.

All steel refining projects require bellows.

As for the cooking: I work it out as soon as I see the 1000g meat needed etc, but it means an extra click into the menu then I need to get out (going back with the back button doesn't work) and go back into the menu and hope I pick the right one next time. I also need to cancel the project using the pot. (all five of them in my case, I'm a slow learner)

Of course if I have a pot and the meat I need to fluff around to find the one with the pot. I guess in time I will learn which is which, but in the meantime I'm just confused.
