powerstuck Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Not that this will get any attention, but seeing how devs always sneak in a few nasty ''improvement'' surprises, let's hear about it. 1) Consuming Rare Mushroom and Rare Flowers now gives their intended effects Look, I know the game is in development, except it is not because it will release in a month to public... So my first question is : How can a desired effect be so random, never have you guys told us anything about their ''desired effect''. The person who made 261 change just woke up this morning and decided...yep i'm gonna poop, brush my teeth and screw up rare mushrooms and rare flowers and call it an intended effect. Not only is the greatest food ever now useless, had counter effects but also...people had 1000s of boxes full of those...and there are none anymore. Not a single stack of rare mushrooms to be found. They all got removed. I guess it was intended. My second question is : what is the point in a) giving it super weight (15 per a stack of 100), b) spoil timer (1 day 5 hours) and c) the poison effects. You did made a nice game, but I swear your non existent communication skills will make you kill your own unborn baby. Today, I give this game a 6 months lifespan post release. So, I would really love for a dev to explain how any of this makes senses, and when I say dev, I really hope someone who makes decisions and not a CM or one of the very well known players that get paid to post positive feedback about the game all day long.

Lol tbh though I doubt they originally intended Rare Mushrooms to be food that you can attach to your hotbar and spam eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not, but a little head ups would have been nice. The patch notes line doesn't tell anything since there is not a single ''intended use'' documented. What's going to be next, Azul, Mejo and other berries will also give you stomach ache when you spam eat them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because the herbivores can eat it doesn't mean we can stomach it. Human anatomy is very frail in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnWolf Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Even eating raw meat should be more damaging than it is. You can spam eat it if you're starving to death even at pretty low levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a spoil timer (Pretty long timer though) Blind you when eaten. Same food AFAIK Flowers: 15 weight per stack, ammoite rage affect when eaten, provide 15 food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ax Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Underwater and cave crates now give two items instead of one, Still only getting a single item from a fresh drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currahee Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Good. Those two foods kind of broke the "need to eat to survive" part of the game as they were too easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancelot Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I'm so happy they finally changed the mushrooms and flowers. It's been in the item description the whole time. It made no sense to use them as main food source(even if I did). Can't wait to try it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenRoc Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 55 minutes ago, powerstuck said: 1) Consuming Rare Mushroom and Rare Flowers now gives their intended effects I was using these things for food! I do not like this change. Now I have to go back to berries, which I need like 3 stacks of them to fill my food (instead of under 20 flowers or 10 mushrooms), taking more time out of my day, which I am not happy about. Do not want. Is there an unofficial/singleplayer config to counter this change? I definitely want that config. It could be like disablerarefoodeffect=true or something. Since there are two foods, separate configs for each food. I would like such configs to be a thing. Please make it so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"need to eat to survive" I love that. here's the problem, after you gather these (which takes a fair bit of time, actually) WHY should you have to keep foraging every freaking 2-3 hours for stuff? how often do you go to the store? you have a fridge. it's what? once a week? maybe longer? so real-time, go to the store, and buy food every 3 hours. Then you can "survive" like you do in ARK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulta Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Wow really? You are complaining about needing to eat something else in ARK? Man how most of this community has devolved... Eat cooked meat like the rest of us We got fridges and grills in the game for a reason you know. They didn't strip you of all food sources...and no I'm not saying go to berries, who in their right mind eats berries for sustenance late game? Anyway, patch feedback? If most of the things they listed actually changed and is working right, I'd say this is another nice patch. 2 items in cave and underwater loot? Heck yes. Not sure I like the bat megarabies though, but hey worth a shot. I dunno how easy it is to cure but guess we'll find out. Seems ot also be some fixes regarding food consumption as well. Perhaps now things will live a bit long before needing to be fed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaolin Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I liked using mushrooms, I raised a therazine, stated it for power harvesting and collected hundreds of them from the swamps (which are now all gone by the way, just logged in and hundreds of them have vanished from my vault). Endlessly cooking food and storing it was just hassle. TBH i'll just kill myself and respawn, less hassle. I stopped using clothing months ago, SE is the only place I wear clothing or when metal farming in the snow biomes, only used food when I couldn't be arsed to respawn or was busy doing something like building or metal farming. Every update it just feels like this game is getting worse when it should be better. (for me anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Guess those custome Recipes are gonna go up in price huh. lol I have eatten mushrooms and flowers before but not a main source I prefer my Super OP cheeseburgers as they last a long time and easy to make.

powerstuck Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 To keep adding, if you happen to eat a rare flower by accident, be ready to get attacked by a flock of dinos includion Phiomias (really ?) and Lysros (like DILO really those guys don't even have a raptoring attack implemented in game). Also, I can confirm that the ''giga dismount'' is still not fixed and you still need to heavily rely on glitched collision mechanics to not die dismounting one. I will also be running now with fire camps and will again be spamming them all over the place because I will be from now on using cooking meat, but give it lasts only 5 minutes in the players inventory, i'll be roaming around and killing then cooking as i get hungry. That should be nice of a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriD Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 You guys talking about food n shrooms n berries. Why not just make a recipe. Very easy, make a food with 10 raw meat. Then just make a bunch for an hour or two and you'll be set for a week or two depending on the resources you have. Not only is food from recipes better then shrooms. But it gives u health too.
