Additionally:

• while the food will taste the same, in most cases the mouth feel is so horrendously bad it will be inedible
• rehydration of most foods is very hard to impossible, limiting it’s uses even more
• if you put more than one kind of food in a batch, the chance of error in the process increase dramatically, because all food needs different amounts of time to dry

I’m pretty sure the only actual use cases are berries and fruits. But those can all just be dehydrated normally or made into jam, so there is little to no purpose for a freeze dryer, except playing around with foods, which is not worth the price

I can recommend “Encased”. It’s a CRPG that’s heavily inspired by Fallout gameplay wise, but it’s modernized a lot (in a good way). It has its own unique story and setting which are amazing to explore

Encased is a CRPG, heavily inspired by the classic Fallout games, bringing it’s mechanics into the modern age. It’s story is based on the classic book “Roadside Picknick” (known for being the inspiration of the Stalker series) and is very well written. It has a story narrator, similar to the Divinity: Original Sin games and a very in depth character creation. At the start you choose a department of a research company to work in, which will change the way you interact with many characters, adding some replay value. Anything more I could say would be a spoiler, but the entire beginning (first half to one hour) is an absolute banger.

It’s my favorite indie game of the last few years and at the time of writing this, it is currently 90% of on steam, an absolute bargain

Uranium fever has done and got me down.

In that case there is little difference to just sharing a save file, which everybody can already do. If this is everything that the patent covers, then I’m against them having a patent for it. That idea is so generic and nothing somebody should be allowed to have control over

Sounds cool and all but I heavily doubt they would do the work to implement it like that. Replay value doesn’t add market value in the view of the producers. So there is not much money to be made from the large amount of work this requires.

Of course if they ever do it, feel free to correct me, people from the future

… sooooo … chapters?
