Fruit Reform
Proposal to simplify fruit to remove unnecessary flavor that exists at the cost of a lot of inventory spaces for a simplified state.
Fruit as it stands now:
13 types. 3 groups of three identical ones. It's bloated and overly complex to the point it's not worth carrying much fruit at all (wouldn't spend half that many inventory slots on fruit; unless you are of Fedhas Madash and even then you are tempted to stash supplies). All take two turns to eat.
Proposal:
Keep the unique tiles and maybe even the unique flavor texts on eating, but simplify for practical purposes to:
Snozzcumbers are (mostly) unaltered [1 aum reduction is a minimal change.] Fruit now stack and are worth carrying for nutrition (offers same nutrition as a chunk and can be eaten while full on most races; eat one to equip a Vampiric Weapon, etc.). Berries offer a unique single turn effect (useful for when a mage is starving in combat and just needs to cast one more spell).
Fruit as it stands now:
- Snozzcumber
- 1500 Nutrition
- 5 Aum
- Orange/Banana/Lemon
- 700 Nutrition
- 2 Aum
- Pear/Apple/Apricot
- 600 Nutrition
- 2 Aum
- Choko/Rambutan/Lychee
- 600 Nutrition
- 1 Aum
- Strawberry
- 200 Nutrition
- 0.5 Aum
- Grape
- 100 Nutrition
- 0.2 Aum
- Sultana
- 70 Nutrition
- 0.1 Aum

Proposal:
Keep the unique tiles and maybe even the unique flavor texts on eating, but simplify for practical purposes to:
- Snozzcumber
- 1500 Nutrition
- 4 Aum
- Same as a Sausage, but for Vegetarians.
- Fruit
- 1000 Nutrition
- 2 aum
- Replaces {Orange, Banana, Lemon, Pear, Apple, Apricot, Choko, Rambutan, Lychee}
- Berry
- 200 nutrition
- 1 aum
- Replaces {Strawberry, Grape, Sultana}
- Unique: Only takes one turn to eat. (Other fruit takes 2 turns, Chunks take 3 turns, Rations takes 4.)
