Hands-On Delight

Cook in Farmer's Delight with your own hands: the cooking pot opens up in the world and you stir the soup yourself.

What's new
- Plated meals and salads are made on the cutting board instead of the crafting table: put the bowl down, then what goes into it. A salad is tossed in the bowl; bacon and eggs, a steak or a fish is laid in its place.
- So are the rest of Farmer's Delight's food crafts. The kelp roll is rolled up, cod and salmon rolls are pressed onto their rice, a barbecue stick is skewered from the tip down, a melon popsicle freezes on its stick, a sandwich or a burger is closed with the top half of its bread and a mutton wrap is rolled. Dough, pie crust, cookies and the cake start from wheat and are kneaded, pies go into their crust, melon juice into its bottle. The five feasts are laid out in their bowl.
- Milk, honey and water are poured over the food instead of lying on it in their bucket or bottle, which goes back to you. Eggs are cracked open. Dough from water keeps the water.
- The cutting board cuts food along its own length: a kelp roll into even round slices, a fish into steaks, never lengthwise. Pies and cakes are cut in wedges through the middle, dough in strips. Food takes as many cuts as the pieces it falls into: one for beef or a cabbage, two for a kelp roll or a ham, three at most.
- An egg goes into the skillet cracked, with a clear white that turns white as it fries, never in its shell. It fries sunny side up: no toss needed, it is done in the time both sides of other food take. The stove's grill does not take eggs: they belong in the skillet. Other food on the skillet and stove takes on the colour it cooks to, so kelp darkens green and a potato turns golden.
- In the cooking pot, milk is poured in and colours the soup, an egg is cracked into it, and sugar, cocoa and ink dissolve instead of floating whole. A soup shows egg ribbons and grains of rice, never slices of eggshell, sugar or bone. The empty bucket or bottle goes back to you instead of dropping beside the pot.
- Item tags under
handson_delightlet modpacks say how their food is cut, poured, cracked or dissolved. - A dish picked in the board's recipe book is laid from your inventory, one at a time or sixteen with Shift.
- The board's recipe book has tabs: everything, dishes only, or cuts only. It remembers your choice.
- The stove opens as a station too: lay up to six pieces on its grill, and each one smokes when its lower side is done. Click it to turn it over; once both sides are done it waits on the grill until you take it. Food put on by sneaking cooks the Farmer's Delight way.
- The recipe book is drawn with smooth edges instead of jagged steps.
- The recipe book shows its page arrows again, and the food on its pages is as bright as in the inventory.
- Two quick presses of A or D go two stations on at once; the recipe book flies along.
- A dish picked in the recipe book no longer appears in the station at once: its ingredients jump in from you one after the other, into the soup, onto the board and into the pan. A stack put into the pan does the same.
- With an empty hand over a finished soup, a bowl from your inventory shows over it: click to scoop a serving, Shift to scoop all you have bowls for.
- With an empty hand over food on the cutting board, a knife from your inventory shows over it: click on the mark to cut. The knife stays in your inventory.
- What you get at a station shows how many came, "+1" or more, as it goes into the inventory.
- The skillet tells you how the food is doing. The sizzle grows as the side on the pan browns. When that side is done the fat pops, the food gives a little jump and the handle is outlined until you toss it. A done batch settles with a last deep sizzle and a crackle of the fire.
- Food put into the skillet quickly no longer lands on top of another piece: every piece finds its place, and those already there move over.
- The oil in the skillet seethes amber instead of pale green, finished salads no longer throw green crumbs, and the sparkle over finished food is golden instead of green.
- Needs Diegesis 1.0.0-beta.4.
