So, I was cooking up one of my favorite culinary concoctions (I'm a fan of Science in the kitchen, too), but I'm still hungry because I was taken by a fey mood about fey moods about cooking while cooking.

Er... Anyway. I searched the forum, and I think this has not been suggested.

Right now, (if my understanding is correct; I've never had this happen) cooks who are taken by a fey mood make one really awesome meal, which then exists in a vacuum. This is not highly useful. Instead, what if a cook made a new recipe? It would require specific ingredients, but be of higher quality.

I know it's not an earth-shattering idea, but hey. I haven't had breakfast yet.

By new recipe do you mean unlocks the ability to use new ingredients in the kitchen? Because seeing my Dorf learn to make Rock Soup would be badass.

Stonemeal bread and rock bisque?

Yes that'd go very good on the side, I think my dorfs could enjoy a helping bowl of Diorite Soup with some Stonemeal Bread to dip in it.

And for the main course: Microcline souffle with a thin bauxite drizzle.

Would the bauxite drizzle make it lava proof?

Sure why not.

Cooking wasn't a moodable skill in 40d, and it presumably still isn't, so that's why you haven't seen any yet.

Cooking improvements and recipes have at the very least been mentioned on the old dev_single page in two reqs, so they should still be some future goal.

Req129, IMPROVE COOKING, (Future): More food. Food should require a substrate, rather than just being seeds etc. Seeds, syrups, drinks and other such objects can contribute to the likes/dislike checks as they do now, but they shouldn't add to the number created. A good roll could lead to the recipe being given a name and saved to the entity definition, where it can then be encountered in other cities in subsequent games.

Req162, ENTITY RECIPES, (Future): Civilization initial recipes. This also includes some food management for civs so food items can be created more easily. Requires Req129.

Now I can make proper sacrifices to the Lava God! I'm tired of throwing him food that just disappears.

Aha. I hadn't seen that one. Now I feel foolish. That also explains why I couldn't find anything on the wiki about it. I think I was getting "masterwork" and "artifact" confused.

And by "new recipes", I meant more along the lines of "Combine cow cheese with chicken meat to create delicious cheesy goodness", which, while possible before, could now be specifically designated and would be of a higher quality (due to the cook following the template of the original, artifact meal). So, basically what's already planned. This speculation about stone soup strikes me as a bit silly, but DWARF FORTRESS!

[Shadowclaimer]

If you find it silly, and its related to Dwarves, it'll happen.

I just find the concept of Dorfs being so hungry and booze-lacking they eat rocks in water as soup to be hilarious for some reason.

Being able to have proper lithovores would be nice, though.

Is it bad I just wikipedia'd Lithovores and got the genus of catfish as the closest thing, stopped to think about it and realized I'm a moron, facepalm'd, damn rock eaters.. I've been making jokes about them this whole time and then I don't catch when a term is used for them xD

Recipe moods were mentioned in this thread.

Crap, I even looked (briefly) at that one, too.

Oh well.

Lithovoric dwarves would be the opposite of an improvement, though. Just look at the Improved Farming thread.
