Cooking/Baking and Littering

[Kaityra]

Hello!

It seems that with the new craft cooking/baking the littering has increased significantly. But isn't littering forbidden in Planeshift?  I'm not familiar with the system but I assume that bread pieces are not a final product, so it seems as if people throw away materials from inbetween steps. I guess this is done to increase the appropriate skill. This could be easily solved by giving experience only once the product is finished.

With kind regards
Kaityra

There is an other thread about this issue there is currently no other way to get rid of these items because you can't eat them and no NPC buys them

As for the Bread Pieces... Try to find something 'cooking-wise' to do with them... They're there for a reason.

We may be cruel and sadistic, but we don't usually put anything "dead-ended" in, unless it's going to be expanded very soon to be useful
 

Bread pudding anyone?

Put them in furnace and burn them.

burnt bread smells awful.....

 Better a smell than poor players with just enough specs to play game lagging when they get close to piles of discarded items.

I agree burn them..but I Think that takes time..would it be that hard to make an NPC that buys them for 0 tria??

I've not started cooking yet..but I've seen lots of litter.

It doesn't really take any time...depending on where you are of course.  If you are in Oja, just take a short jog to Trasok's.  All you have to do it dump it in the furnace and go back about your business.  Even if you're far away from the furnace, it turns to dust and eventually disappears.  The only thing is temporarily taking slots away from ore melters.    

But, seriously, the cooking stuff tends to clutter up the inventory in a hurry.  I literally had 512 pieces of bread within like 20 minutes.  And since the max stack is 65...well do the math.  People can't use some of that stuff, can't sell it, so they get frustrated and dump it.  So for now, burning is the best solution.  (Sorry crafters)  Sooner or later, cooking will expand even further and hopefully everything will have a purpose.  Right now, you can make lots of stuff which can't be used further.

Pssssst!  It might also help to have some of this stuff actually be edible.  It is food afterall.

Yeah, seems like a lot of roleplaying is happening here. If it is that easy to produce something then there is something wrong with the crafting system IMHO.

The furnace option isn't that bad. All you have to do is put the food in the furnace and go back to cooking. It will take care of itself without you standing there. And leave the pile of dust in the furnace they will eventually disappear on their own.

[Izzabella]

The only problem with the furnace option is that then crafters will start to whine about all the cooks hogging the furnace to dispose of all their waste I've seen how much stuffs been littered around, and I know some that have been picking it up so I've not even seen it all yet. Thats gonna take up a lot of slots and they will complain because they can't use the furnace then what it is for.

The main issue is not how easy is it to produce anything but the units that are produced every time. From every bread you get 10 slices.. and that is not too bad considering that for every water bucket you get 28 water pouches or that the minimum amount of apple jam you can make is 40 units. Unless you are hosting dinners every single day I can't imagine why would anybody want to have that much.

If those would be reduced littering would probably decrease along.

...Maybe we could implement a super heated furnace, with the sole purpose of disposing of waste... one could be in every town... you throw something in, and in mere minutes, whatever it is, it is burnt to ashes. This way, crafters wont get annoyed, and its actually realistic... Many people burnt rubbish back in the days of yore, right?

* Izzabella tosses Earl into the super heated furnace "err..opps I thought he was  a trash bag I swear!'

not a bad idea really...
