For food progression in Unturned, the best option for hunger is combining a protein with bread into a 1x1 slot, for a sandwich (one of the peak foods of mankind). So, why not include berries into the mix, as an option?
The recipe would be simple: 2 bread and 1 refined berries.
Stats: 40% Food (from Bread) + Refined Berries’ stats.
| Inputs | Tools | Skills | Outputs | Stats |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bread (2) + Refined Mauve Berries | Heat | Cooking II | Mauve Sandwich | 50% Food, 10% Water, 5% Immunity |
| Bread (2) + Refined Amber Berries | Heat | Cooking II | Amber Sandwich | 10% Health, 45% Food, 10% Water, -5% Immunity |
| Bread (2) + Refined Indigo Berries | Heat | Cooking II | Indigo Sandwich | 50% Food, 10% Water, 50% Stamina |
| Bread (2) + Refined Jade Berries | Heat | Cooking II | Jade Sandwich | 55% Food, 10% Water |
| Bread (2) + Refined Russet Berries | Heat | Cooking II | Russet Sandwich | 10% Health, 50% Food, 5% Water, -5% Immunity |
| Bread (2) + Refined Teal Berries | Heat | Cooking II | Teal Sandwich | 50% food, 15% Water |
| Bread (2) + Refined Vermillion Berries | Heat | Cooking II | Vermillion Sandwich | 5% Health, 50% Food, 10% Water |
I don’t think drastic stat changes like in the pies would be necessary.
These sandwiches wouldn’t be op/broken, because the proposed stats are weaker than other sandwiches (even more so with the addition of 1x1 medicine or a drink) and the berry pies (despite their 2x2 size).
Instead, these new sandwiches will create a new “light meal/sandwich” category, providing sub-60% food (less than the weakest Bass sandwich’s 70%) with a small benefit of water, health, and rarely immunity or stamina gain.
I suppose another reason to add refined berry (jelly?) sandwiches would be that it would be the first true “vegan” sandwiches added to the game, which could be a plus to some of the player base. This also means that this would be the first sandwich that you can fully craft using agriculture.
TL;DR - Please add refined berry sandwiches (2 bread and 1 refined berry, stats are combined) because they’d create a new middle-tier food tier with minor side effects/benefits. Also, incidentally vegan and good for base nourishment.
This is definitely not motivated by me being a Heavy main in TF2, and my deep fascination with sandwiches as a whole.
