Coffee Thermos Idea

[nicko]

I was on a recent run just now and got lost in a storm then fog. I was running very low on sleep/fatigue, decided to drink my two cups of coffee and thought WTF... this doesn't seem right.

My thoughts have always been how unreal it is how we can carry cups of coffee with us. Seriously it's hard enough carrying a full cup across the room without spilling it

Then a simple idea popped up in my thoughts! Wow how cool would it be it we could boil coffee and add to a thermos and or still the mug option.

The game needs a new Hinterland Thermos for those longer travels.

Thermos max. liquid: 4 cups / roughly 1 litre.

here is my idea of a quick screenie I made of the thermos idea - see below.

yes, yes, yes, yes yes yes yes yes YES.

please, hinterland. this is something that has bugged me so hard since i started playing this game.
and it wouldnt be just coffee. we could also carry around warm soup. could save you from hypothermia!

And how hard can it be to come across thermos jugs in this kind of environment?

The true Thermos jug may not survive, though, as these are typically glass-lined vacuum bottles. However, there are newer versions that are foam insulated or other types of insulation that would work well, too . . .

This is definitely a great idea!

I've always been bugged by how you have to consume warm beverages and soup as soon as you cook them else you lose the "heating up" status effect.

Definitely +1!

Depends on how careful you are

I've got a stainless steel thermos that I've had for years. Good thing it's metal because it has been dropped and banged around more than once! The only downside with a thermos is that it should be more of a Voyager and above item. I don't know if Pilgrim players will enjoying having to wait until you find a thermos in order to have coffee.

I  was hoping / wanting both options cups and or thermos. one issue I see is how do you restrict cups to be indoors only?

Maybe after the coffee in the cup is "cold" show them in a water bottle?

That might work. Or make coffee cups an object you can interact with and place but not pick up?

Good idea, totally could be do-able after the update that makes cooking not a loading screen!

You would be able to find them in houses or cars.  No different than finding a glass coffee cup in a microwave.
