Nagahiro Posted February 18, 2025 Report Posted February 18, 2025 Not a bad idea. Animal glue (collagen) could serve as an alternative to resin, and I'll welcome another cooking pot recipe like pitch and candles. Gelatin has some food and non-food related applications too, and maybe add stuff like fat rendering (another cooking pot recipe). This could also add another purpose to animal husbandry aside from food and leather. Though, I figure it would require some balancing, maybe make resin more abundant, like instead of harvesting from pre-gen trees, you can carve out pine bark with a knife to allow them to secrete resin in a day or two. This would give incentives to still use resin in the early game instead of going straight to collagen (which is a long process, like leather making to be fair, which is kind of balanced already), and maybe increase the required glue need for certain recipes that needs glue (resin or collagen). Similarly, agar derived from algae and seaweeds can be a substitute for gelatin. Pliny the Elder has also written of the use of fish glue. so there is some historical significance to its use. However, I don't really expect vintage story to feature aspic as its own separate food item lol when it has already an abundance of food choices. (I wouldn't mind more, but for now it's probably low priority to add more food) Would be nice if bones have more uses tho, aside from bonemeal and handles for stone axes and knives.
