Amber and Soft Amber Pumpkins?

[Zades]

Is there really no other way to get these pumpkin variants except to pray for tall parcels from the beach or moor?

Have a mod. Apple gathering is optional.

IIRC I think you can get amber pumpkins by Considering a Sack of Vegetables (harvested from the Garden) with Phost.

Never worked for me. I just ended up drowning in normal pumpkins and give up. Mb RNG just hates me to be fair

It's not bad RNG, nor is it affected by what Soul you use to ID the Sack; the Identify as a Pumpkin 'recipe' is coded to only give normal Pumpkins.

The Identify as a Marrow 'recipe', however, is coded to draw from a deck that contains all Marrows, which is why you can get different varieties.

That's true - but for me, when I Consider the sack specifically with Phost there is a special menu option "Open a Sack of Vegetables With My Phost" which gives 2 Amber Pumpkins. Do you not get that as well? (I have the beta branch active on Steam so it's possible it's something the devs have in the beta branch for now.)

I am also on the beta branch (and also have HoL) and I got my data on the ID a Pumpkin recipe by looking directly at the files; if I have to guess, you probably have TCAT's Gardening mod installed, as it included, among other things, recipes to get different veggies by Considering Sacks with different Soul parts (I used to use it, but it broke for me for unknown reasons).

Now I feel lucky, I invited the Killes for lunch and they handed me an amber pumpkin.

I have never gotten it from sacks of vegetables, but as you discovered, the villagers will sometimes given it to you if you invite them to the Hush House. Unfortunately I haven't figured out any other way to get amber/soft amber pumpkins except that after you use the ones that are discovered in the house.

Amber and soft pumpkin have some insane recipes. No wonder they are so rare.

Can confirm that there are no special phost interactions with the sack of vegetables in an unmodded game. Still just a regular pumpkin. I'm on the beta branch.

It would be neat if you could gather them during Numa somehow.. much like the Cuckoo-Honey, which gives a similarly powerful food when prepared according to the ancient pattern...

One of the parcels gives the Soft Amber Pumpkins very rarely, I believe. Still a little nutty to get, though. At least give us a Numa option.
