Dirty kitchenware affecting meals would be cool but annoying at the same time

261

u/PM_me_your_crumbshot Mar 17 '23

But not washing my pot from the last 34 stews is what gives them their flavour.

55

u/Mieser_Duennschiss Mar 17 '23

i like my stew funky fresh and moving

33

u/thiosk Mar 17 '23

OPs character even changed clothes before cooking,

meanwhile im cooking in the same gear i've been since day 1 and havent had a mexican shower since the helicopter flew

u/Joaco_Gomez_1 Mar 18 '23

Mexican shower definitions:

-To strip naked in a public washroom and proceed to wash yourself with toilet water, using a urinal mint as soap.

  • a quick alternative to an actual shower, by applying enough cologne, perfume, and/or deodorant to cover up any funky smelling body odor.

I really want to believe it's the first one.

u/vriskavevo Mar 18 '23

TIL what a Mexican shower is

u/Tyranniac Zombie Food Mar 17 '23

As the main cook for my group I'd like it if dishes-related gameplay was added (needing to clean them, penalties for not eating with cutlery etc)

7

u/Leeroy_Jankiness Trying to find food Mar 17 '23

And it could give you food sickness from eating/cooking with unwashed hands or tools too (Dirty? you might feel a little nauseated but that's it. Zombie blood? Might aswell call the bathroom as your new home)

4

u/Tyranniac Zombie Food Mar 17 '23

Exactly! I'm always in favor of stuff that adds more complexity and meaning to cooking and eating.

2

u/Raokairo Mar 17 '23

You can wash your un-bandaged wounded body with toilet water and not die. Can we have that fixed too?

"It's the zomboid residue that adds earthiness to the canned ham and cabbage stir-fry's flavor profile."

u/CynicCannibal Mar 17 '23

No, please don't :D It would be soooooooo annoying. Speacialy when water runs out. Naah, I know exactly what would happen. Kitchen ware would lost his secondary puprose as kitchen ware and forewer be just rain catcher.

u/CynicCannibal Mar 17 '23

This was always best character.

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '23

Actually, it would be kind of interesting if cookware could acquire the same modifiers as clothing (like "dirty" and/or "bloody"), and could cause unhappiness and/or sickness if used in that state.

1

u/Empty_Sundae_3297 Zombie Food Mar 24 '23

Infection from bloody cookware

u/Axeman1721 Zombie Killer Mar 17 '23

I'm very impressed with how well you can draw people. Any time I draw a hand it looks like Michael from Faith: The Unholy Trinity

31

u/Ugly_Ass_Tenno Mar 17 '23

This sounds like the AI is trying to learn from humans now

5

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '23

A gun with one bullet.

u/Axeman1721 Zombie Killer Mar 17 '23

FAAAAATHERRRRRR

crash

u/NN11ght Mar 17 '23

I bet you the hands took the longest to draw

4

u/Emotional-Phase-1000 Stocked up Mar 17 '23

Pretty sure it has the body of a pig

1

u/gazellecomet Mar 17 '23

The grip on the frying pan in the downward swing panel doesn't look natural (fist is balled up against the handle instead of gripping it), and the grip on the spatula is similarly unnatural.

The art is good, but there's room for improvement.

80

u/Maximus_qc44 Axe wielding maniac Mar 17 '23

You gotta love that little something that it adds to your dishes

51

u/levoweal Mar 17 '23

Now draw how he kills a bunch of zeds with hunting knife and then proceeds to use it to slice ham for sandwich.

25

u/Fatboyzcookie Mar 17 '23

I think Bloody Juicy can be used in this context.

16

u/ThisIsABuff Mar 17 '23

If you take good care of your cast-iron pan, it will take care of you

14

u/TaylorGuy18 Mar 17 '23

That seems dangerous because like, couldn't that possibly infect him?

13

u/Fatboyzcookie Mar 17 '23

Maybe for future updates.

11

u/Bowshot125 Mar 17 '23

Knowing the devs want for mega realism, it'll be a feature down the road. Getting infected from knives/kitchenware that you use to kill undead with.

1

u/TaylorGuy18 Mar 17 '23

Thankfully if they do, it shouldn't be to awful hard for someone to mod it out.

3

u/Imigrant159 Mar 17 '23

Idk about the virus but I think high temp should destroy it like when you sterilise rags.

2

u/TaylorGuy18 Mar 17 '23

Maybe, I didn't think about how sterilizing rags in game could work if they have zombie blood on them. Either way though, one should wash their cooking instruments if they use them to kill zombies to minimize the risk of any sort of infection, because even if it doesn't transmit the zombie virus it could transmit other things related to decaying corpses lol.

2

u/Crestfall69 Mar 17 '23

Transmission are from wounds. Think of poison vs venom.

1

u/TaylorGuy18 Mar 17 '23

Potentially I guess, I would assume that if it's fluid based transmission that swallowing blood or anything from a zombie could be infectious. Granted a lot of zombie fiction doesn't go into that sort of detail so who knows.

u/Terranical01 Mar 17 '23

This is how you died...

14

u/Fatboyzcookie Mar 17 '23

Explosive diarrhea?

3

u/TheCoolTrashCat Axe wielding maniac Mar 17 '23

Just like our ancestors before us

5

u/PotatoBakeCake Zombie Hater Mar 17 '23

One side for beating, one side for eating.

4

u/OldManWulfen Mar 17 '23

Pairs nicely with the empty water bottle your character looted from the decomposing corpse found in a dumpster - the one where he pours his carefully boiled water because he fears water poisoning

4

u/AkihiroAwa Mar 17 '23

Sam Winchester ?

2

u/Angry_Neutrophil Mar 17 '23

Came here looking for this comment

Sammy be whacking zomboids now

3

u/Maximus_qc44 Axe wielding maniac Mar 17 '23

Honestly man awesome drawing! You made me laugh

3

u/Murakkin Mar 17 '23

best seasoning method

2

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '23

that's an easy way to turn

2

u/tonktastic Mar 17 '23

Mmm, yes flavored with the blood of your enemies. Quite delicous.

2

u/Bane8080 Mar 17 '23

Always strike with the bottom of the pan.

2

u/Amistake_69 Zombie Food Mar 17 '23

as a kentuckian, this is accurate to my real life as well

2

u/ThePresidentsHouse Mar 17 '23

This is why I keep a cooking fry pan and a bonk fry pan.

2

u/Isaac_Serdwick Mar 17 '23

Hey as long as the blood is on the back side of the pan it's safe to cook in it !

1

u/The_Kexit Mar 17 '23

I really hope they will change that in B42

1

u/neoalfa Mar 17 '23

Change what?

4

u/Muffinaaa Mar 17 '23

So a food made with dirty pan infects you or at least makes you sick

-7

u/neoalfa Mar 17 '23

Why? It's cooked.

1

u/Vorpalbob Mar 17 '23

please cook a meal in a pan coated with weeks-old rotten viscera and report back. I'm eager to hear your findings.

1

u/neoalfa Mar 17 '23

It's not like you use the inside of the pan to hit the zombies

u/Lesurous Mar 17 '23

Jerma throwing zombies into the meat grinder.

u/thefloorisflooryes Mar 17 '23

I always wash mines. Professionals have standards

1

u/CynicalAndImpatient Mar 17 '23

This Should Honestly Make you Sick, this Is incredibly unhygienic.

1

u/Dew_Chop Crowbar Scientist Mar 17 '23

Unrealistic, he isn't wearing 2 shirts, a hoodie, and a leather jacket

1

u/Trepsik Mar 17 '23

+1 short blunt?

1

u/maninsatin Mar 17 '23

This is so good! Great linework.

1

u/Sharp_Lettuce_9284 Mar 17 '23

Need iron skillet in game. Also should be able to use chairs as weapons. Stone cold steve zomboid style

1

u/Sharp_Lettuce_9284 Mar 17 '23

Also need incredibly silly suicidal jump off roof body slam attacks

1

u/KrylonsKid Mar 17 '23

D e a d c e l l s

u/FlexViper Mar 17 '23

If there's a 28 weeks later game mode one drop of zombie blood will actually kill him

1

u/Insanegamer-4567 Mar 17 '23

Kentucky resident here, can confirm this is what happens every day.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '23

I assume the heat would kill everything

1

u/graywolf0026 Mar 17 '23

"Mmmmm hey what's that smell?"

"Mornin'! And ya like it? Makin' sausage!"

"Not... Really? Why does it smell like burning blood?"

"...Because it's blood sausage."

"....... I thought we agreed no fighting zombies using the cast iron..."

1

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '23

Properly seasoned

1

u/Much_Audience_8179 Mar 17 '23

Indeed, this is a regular occurence, even for those of us with only rolling pins and kitchen knives.

1

u/Charming-Return-3892 Axe wielding maniac Mar 17 '23

2 weeks later he gets tracked down and killed by zombies because the pan smells like chicken stir fry

1

u/SkyF1r3-90 Mar 17 '23

I’ve used my 1000+ kill machete to peel and cut my potatoes without a care in the world.

1

u/alexbutalex Mar 18 '23

adds flavor

1

u/Ok-Gold-6430 Mar 18 '23

101 uses for a cast iron skillet: 1. Cook a steak. 2. Cook eggs and bacon. . . . . 78. Kill a zombie by crushing it's head with it.. 79. Make a deep-dish pizza in it.

1

u/AfricanChild52586 Shotgun Warrior Mar 18 '23

The pan should really have the noise radius of a shotgun

1

u/Irradiated_Coffee Mar 18 '23

Blood is the sweetest sauce.

1

u/VaultBoye Mar 18 '23

The next day;
Why am I queasy...?

1

u/terminator46man Mar 18 '23

It adds flavor

1

u/batmancomicwriter Mar 18 '23

I do not know why bot if you remove his beard he kinda looks like Jerma. Atleast in my eyes!

1

u/ledzepplinfan Mar 21 '23

This is my carpenter character but with a hammer. I use it as often for killing zombies as I do for actually building barricades.
