Temporal Microwave Oven!

[EmperorPingu]

The Temporal Microwave Oven looks like a regular microwave oven but with a temporal gear jacked in the back.

When you put spoiled or rotting food into the Temporal Microwave, it reverses the course of time on your meal and makes it fresh again

For some reason, upon seeing this the phrase “radar range” leaps to mind.

You've just given me an idea...

I'll make a separate post for it though

Food prep and enemy warning in one

Honestly, an interesting idea that fits the game pretty well. Though, I could see it being easily abuseable, so it would have to cost something.
Perhaps a temporal gear gives 1-3 uses of it? It likely would only work on food that is about to rot, since I don't think there is currently any way to distinguish different rot from each other, or tell what it used to be.
I'd love to see more mechanical and temporal features such as this added to the game though!

Allow me to present a joke hypothetical.

I create this temporal microwave: a tempwave, if you will. As it goes with microwaves, I place food inside it. The food goes back in time and becomes more fresh. The food goes back in time. Items placed in the tempwave go back in time. From this logic, I develop terrible ideas.

Using this technology, it could be possible to not just renew otherwise spoiling food, but so too to (accidentally or otherwise) unmake the food. It stands to reason in such a case it could unmake other items as well. A dark brown vessel (if you can fit it in there) is unfired, then rendered down into its clay components. A worn coat is placed within and its fibers renew and return to itself. I leave a stew with an egg cracked on top in for too long and finally discover what came first.

And then I try to repair my pickaxe with it and the consequences probably resemble something like how microwaves usually respond to metal, just a lot more violently and angrily.

Jokes aside, this seems like a fun niche tool that could help reduce how much of a burden keeping good food supply is, perhaps permitting the Seraph(s) to be a little more lazy and focus on other tasks. This could possibly allow a sufficiently skilled enough adventurer to earn the ability to sustain themselves off their unspoiling spoils of war rather than just going for the exploration focused playstyle on world creation.

What I want to know is what happens if you stick metal in it before turning it on.

It turns into a tiny little drifter

So that's why the world is still messed up. Someone's been microwaving metal to create tiny drifters and creating temporal storms in the process!
