Truffel pigs

Recommended Posts

Most animals have some value besides being butchered ... except pigs. So to make them a little more valueable I suggest to let them search for truffels. And that would openup a whole new set of recipes.

Hey cool!  Yeah, good idea :) I never keep pigs so that would make them have more of a use.

I would argue they do have value besides butchering. They eat almost anything. That's particularly useful if you're rush-skilling HFC or Gardening, in that you get something back - pork - as opposed to nothing, with the trash-heap.

 

Yet I like the idea that pigs could feed themselves from tree-tiles. And that they would have intrinsic Foraging skill.

 

No objections to more cooking ingredients. (Can we have roe too?)

Nice idea!  Pigs are a complete pain to keep so some other advantage than bacon would be cool. They seem to lack the utility of the other kine.

Cows get - milk, beef, hide, Mount (lol)

Sheep get - milk, lamb, wool

Horses get - meat, hide, Mount

Pigs get - bacon ... and a pita rep. (Unless I am missing something like them being death on four trotters as a pet - lol)

Maybe allow foraging for truffles if you are leading a pig or order a pet pig to search for them, or something like that.

Having them able to forage on tree tiles sounds like something the Devs might find too much, all though I would love to see it, as it would add to the utility of orchards as pig-pens and make pigs far more unique and interesting creatures.
(It would also prevent players from foraging the orchard but that's the trade-off).

The extra recipes from adding truffles would also be awesome.

A pig with 'keen senses' would make sense in a truffle pig :)

I will be in favor of anything related to pigs, since all they can currently do is act cute and try to fight everything nearby when I leave them tame.
