Chickens?

Crimsonbluewolf · 2018-04-15 20:26:26

I had a dream last night that Jason put chickens in the game, they were found in Grasslands. To tame a chicken, you had to feed it corn (which was added with the chicken update).

Corn was grown in a similar fashion as milkweed. You could find it growing wild, and it had the same 3 stages. You had to wait until the corn grew cobs to harvest them or they wouldn't grow back (2 ears grew per stalk). You could then add the corn to a skewer and roast over coals for food, or you could hit it with a knife (or a sharp stone) to get corn kernels.

You add the kernels to a bowl and you feed that to the chicken and it would tame it allowing you to pick it up. You could then carry it to a pen, like you would with sheep. It would lay a certain amount of eggs (say like 5) before it becomes a hungry chicken and would need fed again. The eggs could be put in a bowl of simmering water and you would have a cooked egg that can then be eaten.

There could be some mechanic added to get more chickens you would have to find and tame a wild rooster and add that to your flock. You would then need to build a nest for the chicken with a bundle of straw and a round stone and then place 1 egg in the nest. You would then place a hen on the nest and she would be occupied on the nest for 5 minutes. She would then hatch the egg and become a hungry chicken. She would need fed again to start laying and her chick would need fed to become an adult.

Chickens could also be killed for food like a goose. If you killed a rooster you would then have a feather that could be added to arrows.

I was so excited that when I got up I checked the updates and was so sad that it was a dream. I would love for this to become an actual mechanic.

Seems like an awful lotta work for just some eggs and a feather

It would keep whole cities from just living off of eggs. Maybe even eventually make it to where you added eggs to a bowl of wheat to make bread?

sounds good. Did you post it on reddit?

I was actually thinking we should have more food types. We added two new things that can be eaten but you can't farm them, which is a same. Would be nice to have variety.

It's now been added to the One Hour One Life Suggestions on Reddit. I changed it a little bit and edited my above suggestion.

This is such a good and well thought out mechanic, and I fucking love chickens so much... also I bet Jason's chicken art would be adorable, please this!!

... which means it will probably be added and made necessary for survival!

Farming corn is legit. Farming stuff and making big villages is fun. As long as you have
meaningful interesting things to do to keep it going it is a fun time imo.
