food Food Ideas / Concepts

[Vrilyze 26]

I have a violent obsession with food and cooking in games and how the food looks. The appearance and the stats of the food. 
I do not know what is already being a work-in-progress. I don't know if identity is a "survival" type game but it would be nice as it would give food a use and makes it more realistic.

Other uses for it would be for health boosts but that seems more skeptical since I think Identity wants their PvP to be more realistic.

It would be extremely nice for food to have the possibility to becoming something industrial in this game as well. Mass producing whole wheat flour for example.

>You would need a wheat field and farmers to tend the fields.
>The farmers would sell their wheat to a industrial factory in which they take the wheat berries and grind them into flour. 
>The flour is sold to a bakery or a grocery store for consumers to buy.
>The bakery makes and sells whole wheat bread, muffins, and other goods.
>The goods are sold to the customer to consume so they don't die of starvation.
-To transport goods you must pay a truck driver, or truck driving company, or have your own trucks.

Careers: Farm Owner, Farmer, Industrial Owner, Bakery Owner, Grocery Store Owner, Truck Driver, Security.

Farm Owner: you can toggle to have random players come and pick wheat and they can choose to sell the wheat to a factory and you get a % of the profit or they can buy it from you after picking it for reduced price. OR you can rent out your plot to a player so they can become a farmer themselves.
Farmer: When renting a farm or owning one you are permitted to use tools normal civilians cannot to help harvest crops faster.

You should not be able to rob farm fields.

Industrial Owner: Having more workers in your factory makes the production come out faster but it costs more money to keep it running. You should need a minimum number of workers to run a factory. You need to pay truck drivers to transport your goods to you or do it yourself.
Security: Paid to keep crime at bay.

Bakery Owner: You can run a bakery by yourself, or hire more people on to produce more goods to sell. You need to pay truck drivers to transport your goods to you or do it yourself.
Security: Paid to keep crime at bay.

Grocery Store Owner: You can run a store by yourself, you need to pay truck drivers to transport your goods to you or do it yourself.
Security: Paid to keep crime at bay.

Truck Company: You manage truck drivers.
Truck Driver: You complete tasks given from company by moving goods.
Security: Paid to keep crime at bay.

Security should be a separate division from police. Such as a "Security Agency" which store owners can call to have a new guard on the premises because not all players can play 24/7 this can help aid in reduced crime rate all while the store owner can manage their business while be protected at all times. The guards are paid for their duration and if they don't do their job they can be fired instantly and only get paid for that amount of duration instead.

Security would be more for players who don't want to hunt down the bad guys but want to still protect. While police would be for more head on and searching for bad guys and have an obligation to do so. 

Goods should be packaged and there should be card board factories that also provide boxes that factories also need so they can put their products into these boxes in bulk, then they can be hauled onto trucks individually by truck driver or workers. Multiple people can help to move things onto the truck so it takes less time to load up.

For example a good transportation company will bring 20 people with them to load the goods on faster than a company that only brings 1 driver with them.

These are all concepts that would be amazing to have implemented into any game.

Seems like you did a brief of what we can find in the Board Room section.

 

[JamesLuck01 1,531]

You can be a farmer, a animal hunter, a miner, you can cut down trees. You can own a clothing store, and a convenience store. Also you can own a cafe but i don't know if you can make the food/ be a chef (Can't remember). As @SmashUp said, you can drive trucks/ it is obvious that it is a thing if you watched the concept trailer @Trustvainer, @SmashUp didn't most likely get that info from the board room but more likely other places. You can own manufacturing factories but I don't know how those will work/ how extensive they are. @HairyGrenade can fill you in on the rest.

[Vrilyze 26]

I came across this video and fell in love with the game. I skimmed through a few forums but nothing that specifically revolved all around food being industrialized or the process of it being industrialized and what the possibilities were. The only things I've really seen are "Coffee Shop" which is nice but surely I hope there is more variety.

I have underlined all the outlets that would be possible if you can:

This is what I mean by I don't know how in depth the foods are because there are so many different types of foods and types of outlets, it would be a shame to only have so little diversity. The ideas I put out were all my own thoughts and how the real world works and with food marketing being the biggest in the real world. So though in this video is says how you can manufacture goods such as furniture and clothing, I did not know if there would be anything for food in the same manner.

I didn't put this in the board room because it's not "specifically" for a single job or company but a network of ideas that have the ability to all be connected and what their purpose is individually (vaguely). They are just vague thoughts and if I needed to be more detailed with it they would have to be put out individually and each would have a good presentation of what that career would be like and the sub careers. 

For example a "Mechanic" Tree
These careers may not be "point on" with the real world, but they give a way to group things into organized categories.

Master Career: Master Mechanic (Can be a mechanic for all Mechanic careers)

Career: Auto Mechanic
L Sub Careers: Car Mechanic, Motorcycle Mechanic, Bus Mechanic.

Career: Aircraft Mechanic
L Sub Careers: Helicopter Mechanic, Plane Mechanic, Private Jet Mechanic.

Career:  Marine Engine Mechanic
L Sub Careers: Motorboat Mechanic, Fishing Boat Mechanic, Cruise Ship Mechanic.

I was referring Vrilyze, he did a brief of what we can find in the Board Room. Box Factory was one of these.

All are my own thoughts. The board room is more "specific" in what jobs there should be while I enjoy brainstorming over how all things could connect with each other and on a detailed level to give concepts more concepts. To label them and make them more organized.

You say "Box Service" was someones idea already and you're correct. But I'm not pulling this information from anywhere that's just how the real world is and that is why this is in the "Ideas & Suggestions" because I am interested in a "Food" concept and what's going to happen with the food in this game.

For example, say instead of the Flour Factory it is a Water Bottle Factory. They would mass produce Water Bottles and need Plastic Bottles instead and they would instead need "Plastic" packaging for their Water bottles. I just picked something at random and it happen to do with cardboard boxes.

-Fisherman catches Cod -> Sells Cod to Seafood Store -> Sells Cod to Seafood Restaurant (Restaurant buys from store)
-Farmer farms Wheat -> Sells Wheat to Flour Factory -> Sells Flour to Seafood Restaurant (Restaurant buys straight from Supplier)  
-Chicken Farmer picks Chick Eggs -> Sells Eggs to Seafood Restaurant (Restaurant buys straight from Supplier)
-Grocery Store Sells Vegetable Oil to Seafood Restaurant (Restaurant buys from store)
-Seafood Restaurant has all ingredients to make Deep Fried Cod -> Makes Deep Fried Cod -> Sells to Customer

I hope this makes more sense on what I'm trying to get at, I have a tendency to get off track and think of more ideas branching from it.

I'd love to do some Wicked Tuna type fishing

It could be cool if you could be a chef, and has to arrange plates with food.

Let's say that you have to make a pancake to server in your cafe or restaurant. After having the pancake made, you have to choose if it should be rolled, or unrolled, and which ingredients it should contain  (jam, sugar, etc.) and then you have to "decorate" the plate, if you can say that. Put some flowers on the plate, maybe decorate the plate with some jam placed in a curved line along with the plate edge and such things like that.

Then it could be cool to sell your food which you've made and decorated yourself, and afterwards players could maybe vote and give you stars for how good the food was served.

I hope you understood my point. Normally it's easy to explain things in English, but with these hard words, it was a bit hard for me.

I like the idea. Sorta like a mini game but more experienced

Argh.. Kinda. I mean it's just like the paintings and the clothing you can personalize, you could personalize your food plates too. Then you can show off your skills in serving perfectly arranged food, so it REALLY looks like it's a prof chef there have been working in the kitchen.

These examples, Don't expect military because that won't ever be in the game, unless the devs change their minds but doubt it because their mod is on a "mil sim" and so they don't want military. As for aircraft, they said no but they might add a glider being the closest thing towards an aircraft.

I like the ideas though, keep them coming!!!

[The1TheOnlyGonzo 184]

To answer your question regarding making food. Devs have stated players can make food, and they could have side effects (depending on how your food is made) and will have health benefits. Player made food will be more healing than NPC made food. 

From what is stated you cannot starve either (maybe private servers will be different), you are just penalized for malnutrition. They don't want to make eating an annoying and tedious task in game. 

[Mentality 72]

My question is, what sorts of fast food places will there be in Identity? I love pizza, burgers, chicken, Mexican, and Chinese. Will there be places that serve only specific types or are they going to be "one huge menu that serves all" places? 

[Erlich 28]

Well I know pizza delivery is a thing,so pizza will be in the game.

[Arky 333]

If it comes to it... I'm gonna be a pizza delivery boy who smokes a ton of pot in the woods and Cosplays as a Sasquatch resulting in my death by hunters.

Ugh everyone knows buffets that serve everything always have terrible sushi. But their torpedo shrimp are the best.

My thoughts though are it should be mandatory to have different food outlets and the skill levels each would posses for their own cuisine. (like the example above, buffets could have medium skill stats for all kinds of cuisine but be surprisingly low when it comes to sushi/sashimi). Because if the outlets all had the entire menu with no downside players will just go to the same place over and over again if they served everything in 1 place. Because if most of the population revolves around just 1 outlet why bother going to any of the others if there's just going to be a lack of players in those outlets.

In reality, I will go to a few of the same outlets but I will pick the best one out of them all and I will travel to it specifically for it's taste of food & atmosphere. Though even if the food is delicious at a place, if I witness the chefs or owners are rude to their customers (even if it wasn't me) I will not go back to that outlet.

So unless they implement skill stats in which a Chef (who is far from the town/population) with a high cooking level can make extremely nourishing food better than it's competitors who are closer to the town, there would be no reason to travel so far to that outlet.


If you haven't had Sushi or Dim Sum then you haven't lived.

[Bellanova 116]

I think it was in the Housing Insider that MoTown talked about cooking spaghetti? Not sure which video exactly, but cooking is confirmed. I'm hoping it's pretty extensive.

[Bellanova 116]

I'm also personally really hoping for a pizzeria somewhere in the cities. I love me some pizza and wings. (wink wink)

Here you go. I'm very lazy and may or may not finish it all. The "cooking" selection will probably have to have it's entirely own thread, but all the "recipes" that I will put in the "cooking" section will be from the main Encyclopedia contents so people can trace back to what the thing is or how to make a certain thing. AGAIN I AM VERY LAZY.
