I like this. a fine tuned suggestion:

(based on tortilla project)

Code: Select all

Machine: small fire pit

Boil corn (wood)

Output per day of labour
    600 grams of boiled corn

Required resources
    600 grams of corn
    200 grams of wood

Required tools
    pot


Code: Select all

Boiled corn
Nourishing Food
Eaten: 60 grams

    ( Tortillas are 40 grams, but boiled corn need a small time per gram)

Moved to accepted. Would boiled corn be nutritious or healing?

To boil something, you need water. ;)
Same with steaming (which is typically how we cook corn).

I see it as a nourishing food.

Wouldn't you need water for cooked meat too, then?

in real life, you need water, or other liquid, for many food that in cantr not need water

cooked meat
bread
Pastry dough
steamed rice
stew
risotto
and may be others

I prefer nutritious, becouse you can make popcorn as healing food from corn.

The water isn't used up for boiling corn, so it wouldn't make sense to lose it.

It would be possible for project to use and give back same amount of water upon finish, BUT it's not possible to have multiple raw output. [so it's not possible]

I'm against that, unless there will be anything which make bigger difference between that and tortilla. It's better to add absolutely new types of food, because they are both interesting and make real change for the game. Maybe that project should require some salt?

You don't have to grind the corn to make cornmeal first. With less processing, it makes it less efficient than tortillas.

... don't forget that you can't use boiled corn to make tacos or pupusas.
