More packaged and unpackaged food and items

[Faalagorn]

It is a more detailed version of what I already suggested before, but it would be nice if food and to extension could be found either in packaged or unpackaged state.

 

Currently, the system is in place, but it's pretty basic – you can find pack of lollipops or individual ones scattered around and egg packets that you have to open to get the actual eggs, and you can also find a box of nails, screws, paperclips, jars or ammo. Mods adding items such as Hydrocraft add more variation to this, and the most notable one was Littering mod.

 

Since nutrition system was added, there is also a "Packaged" flag, that is used to show nutrition for players that don't have the nutritionist flag.

 

There's also jars and cans that have to be opened before preparation as well as things that can be cut to pieces through crafting (Watermelon, Bacon…) or transformed otherwise (cereal, pasta, rice…).

 

However, there's currently lack of consistence and variety when it comes to this and the system could be further improved similar to what Littering mod have. The food could either be found packaged (packaged meat or fruits in shops – with a nutrition table, I suggested that before) or could be found unpacked lying around in houses or trashcans (such as lollipops) – most notable one being cigarettes that are shown as package, but instead are regular cigarettes, always found in stacks of 20 – Littering mod addressed it quite well, however there's more inconsistencies.

 

This basically would require going through items and adjusting graphics accordingly, as some items are represented by a loose item and some as a pack, having some artwork work to do, but would add more variety and style to the game, especially if items are on ground or 3D models. 

 

This would open possibility for more animation somewhere down the line if you would like to add ones for opening packages too  and more items usable in survival – e.g. pickles could leave a jar behind.
