Floran Fly Trap
===========
[URGENT - READ NOW]: This mod WILL NOT work with the Upbeat Giraffe update, nor do I have the time to fix it right now!
[WARNING]: Please update to the latest version! It seems that I inadvertently broke new characters in the original release! See changelog for details!
This is my idea of what a Floran Fly Trap would look like. It's based loosely off of the real-life Venus Flytraps that attract flies with a syrup, then snap their "jaws" closed and eat them. They drop "steaks" that can be cooked for the same food-filling amount as a normal "Cooked Alien Meat". I made this because I never really liked "hunger" systems in creative exploration games like this, and didn't want to have to be constantly hunting for food or managing a farm! n.nU
*The animation is much smoother and loops better in-game. This was the best take I got out of like, 20 with a .gif recorder I used!
Seed:
Raw Steak:
Cooked Steak:
---------------
Installation:
---------------
Unzip and place the folder "Fly Trap Plant" into your Starbound/mods directory.
---------------
How to Get:
---------------
For now, you can craft a single seed at any normal crafting table for:
-5 Raw Alien Meat
-2 Leather
-20 Plant Fibre
Since this was intended as an any-tier quick food source, this may seem a bit expensive, but the plant grows very quickly, produces a modest food amount (and the "meat" is comparable to Cooked Alien Meat), and multiplies rapidly.
--------------
Animation:
--------------
I tried a lot of different things to try and get the crop to play the animation I made for it. I just don't think that the vanilla game supports something like this yet, so I had to settle for it "using" a random animation frame as each plant's final form. I added an occasional "furniture type" version that drops off the fly trap that plays the animation correctly. Since it's not a crop, you can place it anywhere!
-----------------
Future Plans:
-----------------
I don't really plan on adding more to this unless something breaks or I find out how to animate the crop version. I did want to try and make the "raw" version of the fly trap meat edible by Florans and poisonous to anyone else, like a lot of racial foods, but I couldn't figure out what javascript file controls this (or it may not have been properly implemented yet, I don't really know).
