Forage Blacklist

[winterpyre]

So if your starving and foraging trying to get some berries or looking for bait to put on a fishing rod, what would posses you to stop pick up some rocks, a few sticks and a log??

 

I was thinking maybe we should be able to "blacklist" different categories of items for when we forage, maybe by splitting it into 4 groups Kindling, Rocks, Food, Bait.

Kindling could be twigs, sticks, and logs

Food are berries, mushrooms, and flora

Bait are bugs

Stones are hopefully obvious.

maybe a Misc. for anything added later on not included in those groups

 

How I thought it could work is if you blacklist a group and you go foraging, then if you would've normally picked up an item from that group it gets re-rolled and if the new item is from a group you haven't blacklisted you get it and if its not then you don't get anything.

 

I feel this could represent us actively looking for specific materials and not stopping to pickup anything remotely useful.

Makes sense. I'd imagine that if you went to go foraging, it's usually for a particular thing, rather than just randomly picking stuff up.

This has been suggested many times, and the general consensus is that this would be a welcomed addition.

for now, there's a mod that does this.

I would love to have a checklist style forage option that comes up and they each have different odds of finding them. I know if i was looking for sticks and berries i may miss one over the other or some may lead to others so that would be a unique mechanic too.
