Smoking meat Automatic VS Manual

Postby Rand » Sun Dec 10, 2006 5:35 am

If anyone has ever smoked meat in real life they would know it is an automatic job...then why not in cantr? maybe it should be optional and if you choose automatic then there is a chance that it will burn...

But there are such a lot of things in Cantr which you'd think needed little attention. Drying dung for one.
I was surprised when the automatic drying of meat was implemented.
And project times are nowhere near RL, but that's Cantr for you.

Game balance comes before realism. Smoking meat is already the prefered method of preparing food, so we cannot make such a project automatic without further upsetting the balance.

'Tis bizarre however that on a drying rack some projects are automated, some not.....

Meh, no way. Smoked meat is already too much efficient now.

Have it consume three to five times as much fuel as an automatic project and lessen the amount of meat prepared per day.

Smokers in Cantr are like saunas in Finland. It will propagate smoked meat to outrageous proportions.

If anyone has ever smoked meat in real life they would know it is not an automatic job. I haven't done it much, but every time we had to take turns during the nights to keep the fire going at the precisely right intensity.

However, the time needed was not proportional to the amount of meat smoked - it was constant - as was the amount of "wood". I think this would be better step towards reality than the making it automatic.

And that is why I am moving it to Rejected, Vindalf. Chris said the same thing during discussion. And besides that, the process really is just too efficient to automate without seriously readjusting the game mechanics of the smoker and smoking process itself.
