Not if Joel continues to add a few recipes each update that use the canned food as ingredients. We are getting a handful this time and maybe another handful in the next update. I like the idea of having to decide if you should just eat the Sham now or save it for when you can make better dishes using it.

The problem y'all are going to run into is the same as mods do; more items means more inventory slots used, so you end up having to choose between what's essentially the same thing (food types) populating your slots, or other items.  Sure there may be a small difference between a chili dog and a chili cheese dog, but the bigger difference is using two slots vs one.

...this is actually a good case for simplification.  Y'all should use this. :)

THANK YOU! This is amazing news. I have an idea for a mod for A19 based on this answer. TY TY!

EDIT: Regarding my customizable drones question.

...well I didn't do it.  It just stands to reason to be possible.  We can already bring in new entities, so in XML you should just be able to add the drone to any entity.  Zombie protector, wolf protector,, whatever.

We're done with weapons except for maybe missing batons. Flamethrower trap might happen yet.

T1: Flintstones Stun Baton.

T2: Iron Stun Baton.

T3: Steel Stun Baton.

But seriously, I have confidence you'll come up with something that makes sense.

TFP should just have all food as "Meat-like substance burritos".  They were once sold at the late Al's Marina and Burrito Bar!

I still remember their slogan and oath of food quality:

***At AL' Marina, our burritos are packed full of... stuff that is guaranteed not to kill you... immediately. ***

I'd imagine it where the T1 doesn't have the stun mechanic (more like a club, but considered a baton and gets baton buffs from skills, something like a Police Baton), T2 has stunning, but requires a few hits (just like the regular Stun Baton now) and T3 is a full fledged postapo stun baton (with an appropriate look like the T3 club), stunning every hit (or every 2 hits).

You're trying to trigger me. Don't think I don't know it.... lol

The banner reads "Summer". Joel said before the Steam Summer Sale which is usually sometime around July 4th.

Tuesday July 2nd is mathematically predicted to have a shinny a19 b144 EXP , so may we expect a streamer weekend before exp release happens?

Why does everybody only give turds to Snowdog? I want turds too.

Well, it's actually more useful than you may think. You can still use it as a regular auger and what you saw there is just a secondary function when you drop it on the ground.

ik but it looks weak. when it was attacking the Cop, it just kinda cuts them. compared to the music. if i made the mod i would make it like a chainsaw on each side and it spins!
