No more eating a steak with bare hands. If you want a fullfiling meal, sit down and eat. Eating food that’s in your hand no longer works unless it’s like, food that obviously you eat with your hands.
Food must be served in plates to be able to be eaten
You click on food with your fork and then the eating progress bar appear. No eating soup with your hands, use a spoon. That would force people into stopping in the kitchen to sit down and eat, and is more realistic that carrying bacon inside your backpack. If you want food to go, you can ask for burgers, pizzas and such food.
As someone who frequently eats like a barbarian IRL, I find this insulting.
Everything is finger food if you’re willing to get a bit messy, and soups aren’t even especially barbaric to eat without a utensil - It is completely normal in several cultures to simply sip from the bowl.
I am indifferent to this being added to the game in truth, but I do think certain races should be excluded from it (Lizard/Oozeling in particular)
I mean, do you eat fried eggs with your bare hands? Or spaguettis? I get the appeal and maybe there’s an argument that this is not needed at all but I think it could improve cook-customer interaction and maybe force people to sit down in the bar or kitchen designated places to eat , since now there’s a reason :3
Oh yeah I thought of that, lizards can just eat with their hands.
Maybe if you select islam in your preferences you can also eat with your hands as that’s like a common thing for muslims.
I do eat fried eggs whole without a utensil. It’s actually less messy because the yolk can’t get all over my beard if it isn’t broken until after it’s in my mouth. Spaghetti always gets a utensil though, yes.
As a general rule of thumb, if the food doesn’t cause a particular mess (is it covered in sauce?) and I’m not in a public setting, I will eat it with my hands though. My particular flavor of autism questions the practicality of almost everything, and for most foods using a utensil isn’t more practical unless I’m in a social setting with all of the pressures that provides.
inb4 this ends up getting thrown at me on reddit some number of months later lmao
I think before this, we need to bring back hygiene mood debuff and smell lines. Force sec, miners, exploration, chef, and some medbay staff to clean up after dealing with bodies and organs.
Either that, or bring forth the need to go to the bathroom so the dorm bathrooms have a purpose other than meeting up with fellow antagonists or remembering you can hide small items in the cisturnes
Firstly, remove the dish driver from the kitchen. Secondly, if obligatory this would get annoying after the novelty wore off, so I think making it optional is a better choice, instead, give a positive mood boost for eating with utensils, on a table, and with condiments.
I like this idea. TG implemented something similar I think, but it was very poorly designed
I like this idea but as a buff, not a removal. As Ruko mentioned, anything is finger food if you’re desperate or barbaric enough, but it’s often not as enjoyable, nor as refined, and it’s definitely unsanitary.
Way i’d have it is, you get a significant mood buff if you eat using utencils, and the food quality also gets an upgrade for a longer buff from that. Even more if seated at a table. On the other hand, unless you have the neet quirk, you get a mood debuff from getting filthy if you eat with your hands, but it goes away and fixes if you clean yourself.
But, most people would still ignore this outside of RP, the reality is you need real mechanical benefit, and here it is, ladies and gentlemen: if you eat using utencils, prevent overfilling to fat.
I think this should be a requiriment. Not all food needs to be eaten with utensils, such as pizza or burgers, but it does not make sense you can just gulp down a soup, salad or other foods using your hands. It would mean you would have to get an utensil and click on food and nothing else, it would not waste a lot of time and it would be inmersive. What I could do is making a trait for people being able to eat with their hands, make it a one pointer. You do not interact with the kitchen a lot, this makes sure cook-kitchen interactions are a little bit longer! Also if you do not wish to partake on this you can just ask cook to maker burgers or pizzas which can be eaten without utensils
just make people get dirty for eating without utensisl
Maybe theyll get greasy fingers that adds a small chance theyd drop their held item when using it
