Explosive food

[Sion]

Me and a friend were discussing the butchering in RimWorld and the food, and concluded that there shuld be a mod that makes it so a colonist that have eaten too much Boomrat meet should explode when the colonist dies, just like a boomrat.

Why you may ask?
Just for fun!

That would be pretty funny XD Though I fear not entirely possible currently :/

It's definitely possible, its as simple as spawning a boomrat explosion on top of the place where the colonist stands when it dies.

Yes, but think about how you would do that. You would need to track if the pawn had eaten enough boom rat meat to start with, which would mean you would need to track the ingredients in the meals. That means editing two items in the main code which cannot simply be overwritten, the entire C-sharp assembly would need to be redistributed, which i don't event think is legal, let alone convenient.

WOW! that looks like a hassle!
But if you selects a meal it shows what ingredients that makes up the meal, couldn't that be used instead?
like if you eat a meal containing boomrat there starts a countdown timer and depending on the number the explosion radius decreases the lower the countdown gets, and the opposite?

Lets say a colonists eats raw boomrat meat and the timer is set to eg: 10 and count down, next time he eats the timer have reached 1 and the colonist eats raw boomrat again then the timer reaches 11, next time the counter have reached 2 but the colonist eats a lavish meal with a part boomrat (lets say 5) so the counter sets at 7, and so on.
You could even set a threshold value, lets say 5, below that there is no explosion.

Yes, but A.) that involves editing the pawns, which as I said would mean redistributing the entire C# assembly, and B.) it just chooses what materials to use up, the data doesnt actually get transferred into the meals.

You can just make special meal, and use thoughs stack system as a couter

But then what would be the point? No one would choose to make meals which were going to result in explosions eventually

[mrofa]

I think i read somewhere that you can make a chance spawn in crafting, so you either craft one item or another, not sure how to make it track the boomrat meat

[Architect]

Its just not a possible idea right now, as funny as it could be.

explosive food woud be nice indeed :p and having your buddy blow up next to u on the battlefield that woud make the game a lot more 'plany'

I would use my non-violent colonists like human molotovs.

Wouldn't the 'blasting agent' in boomrat meat be removed during butchering? Something like how they remove the poison glands in fugu fish. So, instead, we could just harvest those and make some sort of 'molotov rattails'.

And you, good sir, have given me an excellent idea for an inclusion in BetterPower+

I'm good at giving ideas, poor at execution
