peteloud Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 In a Ver. 2.16 Voyager game I decided to give acorns a try. It was a lot of trouble for very little benefit. Have I missed something? Have they some significant benefit that I have have not seen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeanda Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I think they're supposed to give you about half the energy that coffee gives you,maybe less.. personally I don't bother with them .I might in the late game when regular coffee isn't available any ,more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSharper Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Collect enough acorns to make Large Portions. use that too eat, or grind for "acorn tea". Large portions only take a couple minutes after the initial small portion is made. -- Comes in handy on Loper, and just a perf for every other mode. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is much easier to make ordinary coffee or to kill a deer or rabbit. The hassle of carrying a heavy hammer halfway across Great Bear and collecting, cooking, cracking, grinding etc. is very bad use of time when similar results can be obtained with little effort. It makes me think of that useless aurora flashlight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranium Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I'm not sure I have any coffee left on my long 'loper run. Maybe some stashed around, I don't remember. Acorns have been a great addition. I also tend to do "prep sessions" when I'm essentially just killing some time, waiting out a blizzard or whatever. Useful as food, much like cattail stalks, which is mainly what I hoard them for. BTW, what's the decay rate? I just realized I haven't paid attention to that. (actually haven't played in a while) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamvR Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) I find cleaning them to be a great way to kill time while my water is boiling, and cooking them (in small portions) is also handy to level up cooking skill. Other than that I just stockpiled them for later use and ate a few when needed a few calories to not lose my well fed till I got back to my lair. I’m expecting them to be mixable with meat or rosehips or oil to make some handmade no-smell long-lasting bars that ‘meet all technical requirements to be considered food’ - or sg else after a future update. I’m missing the opportunity to retain its cooking water for tanning skins into leather though.(which has been done irl for millennia - eating them and especially coffee I haven’t heard of till now) Finally we could use all those buckets;-) Edited May 24, 2023 by AdamvR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
