I have a suggestion to sink mats a little bit. Make craftable lunchboxes. Yes, lunchboxes. For every star is one space for it. It will appear as a new tab in your arsenal, and the tab will function like any other tab, (eg disappear (maybe?) if empty) The crafting costs would be lower then weapon crafts, prolly at half the costs. But the better part is you can go to the respective created NPC, and throw in random mats to create a specific set lunch item that restores a specific amount of hp, one use, expires in 12-24 hours. It would cost crowns to craft a food item, and they can be discarded or possibly sold if not wanted. Of course food related mats would be preferred, (Who'd want to eat scrap metal?) The way they can be used can come in two ways. a. They are used from arsenal, or b. they can be set to quickslots from arsenal. Also Health restored scales on the depth you are on. (possibly) Its a wild gander, tell me what you think. The mats can be any food-like mat, the items are uviversal in health restore, but in varied forms.
P.S. Or you could eat it right there in haven, and have a cute animation of crumbs flying everywhere. =3
Items suggested:
Rock jelly candy
Gel Gum
Salty Core
Frosty (something)
Zesty Chiller
Spicy (something)
So they are pretty much craftable health capsules and buffs? Not sure about that, I would prefer them to be available in terminals being sold by biscotti like health capsules and vials, and different ones available for cheap in haven that give no buff, but still an animation like confetti.
