There is one jukebox that I know of, in the music shop at the mall. I remember collecting things like this for a friend of mine, movie posters, Slurpee machines, popcorn machines, hotdog rollers, jukebox. He had a throne with spiffo dolls on either side, and jewelry scattered all over the floor. I thought, why the heck isn't there an arcade, even as an annex at the cinema or something? So awesome that it's being implemented, just that much more pixel porn. Jukeboxes in those 50s cafes, and in dive bars. And maybe some apartments could be designed as a "collector" cave. They could have rare furniture, arcades, rare posters etc. Even a working miniature train set or some shit lol 

Oh, indeed. The player must have better skills, pure natural selection.
 
Apart from joking  about what you and your wife are joking about, here is my report:
 
first google: eating flour
http://www.thedoctorstv.com/articles/2765-addicted-to-eating-flour 
 
And now the main story:
0 - PLAIN FLOUR

Tastes ok. Like eating dust, a gulp of water could help indeed, but nevermind. Mood penalty : slightly unpleasant, only if you are not starving, otherwise - its ok. On a scale of survival cuisine I give it 5/10 because it tastes dull and sticks to teeth and throat. 
 
1 - SIMPLE PASTA

Only water and flour, no oil, no eggs.
Its good. Without salt it tastes dull, but if you are surviving - this pasta could be called delicious. Pleasant to chew, smooth. Served hot with black pepper and salt - very good, add EVOO or butter or cheese and it is perfect.  Survival cuisine rating: 8/10. Needs salt and pepper to be really nice. 
 
2 - SIMPLE BREAD

Only water and flour, no yeast, no salt or sugar.
Smells nice, but is too hard. Cannot enjoy this "bread" until hungry.  Very dense and clammy crumb. Taste is dull, but not unpleasant, adding salt could help a lot. Survival cuisine rating: 5/10 because its hard. Although no mood penalty should be applied, this is survival food and it is nutritious, easy to store and easy to pick and eat during.. surviving,
 
3 - YEAST BREAD

I tried my best NOT. No recipe, no cooking experience, just common sense : )
Found some instant yeast in a fridge, mixed it with flour water and sugar (yes, yeast dough needs to be turned on with some sweets, warmth and gentle but zealous use of hands - thats my contribution to those wife-jokes), added salt, mixed until it is almost not sticky and left close to a stove for an hour. Then put the ball of dough into cooking pot (with some flour on its bottom) and sent it to an oven, thats all. NEEDS SUGAR, INGAME RECIPE IS NOT ACCURATE.
The bread smells nice, has hard (a bit too hard and thick) but delicious crust, crumb is almost like normal bread, but a little too dense.  Yes, this is bread.
Survival cuisine rating: 7/10, 8/10 if done well. Really nice food but requires some effort (and knowledge).
Do we really need a recipe? I guess yes, otherwise it will be something like 2. If yeast has instructions on it's pack the recipe is allmost useless. But making a proper bread, even this-report-tier bread, is only a matter of hunger. Simple bread (2) is pretty sufficient for survival.
 
Conclusion:
1) Flour is edible and its ok.
2) Simple water+flour recipes provide you with food, good food (especially pasta) if you are surviving.
3) Yeast bread needs a recipe to be learnt, but a) the recipe is simple and must be easy to find b) proper selfmade bread must boost mood, otherwise it doesnt worth the effort

That would be cool, kinda like how Skyrim does food. You don't need it, but it gives you boosts.
 
I'm just worried that this:

 
Will be replaced by this:

With refrigerators running out of power, and gas being a limited resource, I agree we need more ways of keeping our food in good condition besides jarring it, as they are super rare currently.
 
Root Cellars are what people used before refrigeration to keep vegetables and such from going bad (Meats were salt cured, dried, or smoked.). A root cellar is basically an underground storage area that is kept cool and well circulated. By digging deep (Usually 3 meters or 10 feet), the temperature is stable, and food can be stored.
 
If you guys need some more information on root cellars, you can google it, or visit this page from the Farmer's Almanac
 
This suggestion was inspired by Immortal Zed's little suggestion (question?), which is located here.

When selected, you gain happiness from killing/injuring NPCs or zeds, but you will continuously get sad if you don't kill anything in a certain amount of time.
 
(If sanity comes in, replace happiness and get sad with sanity and lose sanity respectively.)

So I've been thinking lately that the time period is kind of under utilized, one thing that isn't really a thing today but was really popular back then was arcade machines. Not only could these introduce a new kind of building(an arcade, duh) but spiffo's and the various restaurants and bars could have an arcade machine or two that you could loot for logic boards to get electronics xp and components.

And think of the sweet spiffo cabinet art we could have!

A few jukeboxes put in some restaurants and bars

if coconut is added, please add coconut helmet

C'mon. giuys, No one?
 
I have no Lua knowledge, all I can do is look at existing scripts and modify them. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction?
 
Like "look in x mod, the method there should be similar with what you want".
