New food glows during glimmer fog

[xanna]

Some new food items glow during glimmer fog!

Compare the oil and salt to the oats and maple syrup.

 

 
Caveats: this was a week ago before the hotfixes, so v2.20, not looked again on newer release. Not tried in an aurora.

Fascinating side effect, I wonder what it is... And also I'm curious how this could potentially benefit regular gameplay. The "glow" doesn't appear to illuminate the environment, it's moreso a blur effect applied to the object on the screen.

CORRECTION - it's not the glimmer fog, that was a coincidence. It's just what salt and oil like to do

@xanna
This is some good science, thank you.

You can tell it's good science because it has funny-coloured glowing liquids

I just think it's adorable. The salt pot is like a cosy little nightlight. 🥰

Not sure I want radioactive food though😁

According to this very scientific listicle, Hinterland might be onto something:

Hmm....Glimmer Fog produces UV-A light?

Wonder if we could have Glimmer Fog while an Aurora is in effect?  Talk about some craziness!

It has finally occured to me what this is. It's not a bug, or at least it's not random or inconsistent. The salt shaker and oil bottle are made of glass, that's all. The red and green colouration seems to glow when the object has transparent body for some reason.

I guess we didn't have any glass objects before Frontier Cooking? Magnifying lens I suppose, and lanterns have glass in them, obvs, but not much. Never noticed theier glass parts glowing.

Because of how light and its effects are generated, I'm guessing.
