I have heard all answers. Why is it chicken one?
Chicken tender, used to come with an onigiri and a flan. It sorta got nerfed, I haven’t found it again.
I think they have a chicken tender W-Y MRE with a protein soda, a couple of packaged foods like a burger and a hot dogs.
Unfortunately, it’s limited and not at all what a Japanese majority (I think) MRE would be like. I think a Japanese MRE is like, curry with fresh rice and a good protein split. For example the official Evangelion Military Grade Ration packs. Personally the most appetizing looking is Evangelion Unit 05 hamburger steak curry.
The boneless McRib substitute that tastes like cheap bbq, brown sugar, and meat additives w/exec selects, fortune cookie (w/omen of bad fortune), risotto (tastes like french cardboard), onigiri (tastes like european socks). All the other MREs are for literal infants.
Out of game, all MREs are terrible - it’s just what flavor of suffering you mind the least.
In game it chicken. It’s the one where there is no expectations and it lives up to it.
Out of game i like this one.
Worth mentioning that mechanically the chicken MRE gives 10 nutriment while everything else standard gives 9 or less
Norway or Sweden?
You seem to have a bit of a wrong understanding of how MREs work, we don’t have “menus” so to speak, every part of the ration is randomized, which includes: main, side, snack, dessert, beverage powder bag, spread packet, i’ve reworked mre code from scratch recently, i didn’t remove any existing meal, nor did i add stable menus.
About other rations, i’ve added a huge variety of factional rations that i guess you just never seen
Each with unique set of meals and side items, also WY ration was never meant to be Asian (Japanese majority? who?), it’s more of a general company cheap ration thing, with bug protein from Alien lore, the closest you’d get to Asian ration is TWE one, i’ve added some Asian dishes there.
Norway, the best of the best as they say.
Absolutely outdated info, i’ve made all meals have actual reagents the meal is supposed to consist of, instead of “nutrient”
Fair enough b I just go by what the funny numbers tell me
Wey-Yu did a fine job. Are you open to suggestions whatsoever? I think the game could use a civilian ration back, just for commercial sale inside the map convenience stores like on Big Red and Chance’s Claim. They could also mesh well with the CLF since they’re civilians and they’re being gunned down in front of their families for descending against Imperialism from both sides, starving for freedom in the far reaches of space where they should have autonomy from a foreign entity that continually terrorizes them with nuclear threats and bio weapons.
I’m absolutely sure they’d have like… a Bladerunner style ration pack that’s just a tv dinner with a stale soda or something.
The CLF have homemade meals as MREs (real btw)
Pizza, I rest my case.
I wanted to add some civi ration, but in that pr i’ve added so fucking much so i just decided to leave it for later, overall by far i have to add:
remaking first strike ration into forecon/recon ration (it’s commerical ration right now, which isn’t totally correct, i used it as a placeholder for now);
adding charms, m&m’s and cereal bar to US MRE;
adding US humanitarian rations;
adding US MRE Cold Weather;
remake mre code to use menus instead;
and god knows what else, i’m mostly collecting ideas/sprites currently, not switching to implementing until i get enough to implement, i don’t like small scale prs
Are you open to suggestions whatsoever?
I am, as long as it’s not anything ultra complex code-wise
They could also mesh well with the CLF
CLF has their own ration too, but it’s mostly a makeshift wrapped meal
I’m absolutely sure they’d have like… a Bladerunner style ration pack that’s just a tv dinner with a stale soda or something.
Don’t remember any rations in Bladerunner honestly, or anything similar really (rewatched both movies 20+ times), but i get what you mean, it’s just a bit tedious to add those, considering morally outdated cooking/food code
Overall if you wanna see what i’ve actually did in the MRE rework, see here https://github.com/cmss13-devs/cmss13/pull/7895
Awesome, I wondered who revamped the MREs! Love it, but also fuck you for making me hungry every time I play CM now
This is not acid goop anymore let’s get this amazing food sprites and stuff back into discussions
Best MRE is pizza MRE. Hands down, my morale is instantly improved whenever I get my hands on it
Best MRE is any with a fortune cookie in it- occasionally interesting, sometimes butgustingly funny
