Holy crap, that's awesome. Question, Z, can you make one of these output items when they end their "eating" animation? For example, could you feed the plant meat, and when it has finished, have it output a fruit?
Hm...this could open up a lot of options we haven't really seen in other mods.
My next question is...can these things offer multiple stages of item?
Like a small thing eating, and eventually becoming a medium thing, then a large thing?
Like if the dino could eat, say, 5 things of meat, and get bigger?
Hm, direct scaling in starbound looks "bad" but nothing would stop you from using multiple animations / making larger sprites, yeah this is do-able and tested; But it would create a LOT of extra work in the spriting XD
And yeah you can use direct scaling with some tricky directives, but it looks ugly ;)
Honestly I'm looking forward to this as some time ago, I suggested a LOT of stuff for the original mod author who as far as I've noticed has gone deathly silent.
