So I've been working on farming and cooking with the hopes of making some alternate food for my company. However I'm finding cooking needs some serious love.
Recipes that require raw fish/animal meat still need the fire turned on to cook them. This causes the fish/meat to get cooked, which in turn makes it unusable in the recipe. Can we either get a toggle box on cooking pots and grills to enable/disable automatic cooking of meat or just make cooked meat/fish a recipe like everything else?
There's a real lack of variety in the recipe component requirements, especially regarding farmed foods. There are a ton of recipes that require wheat or maize, but hardly any of the other farmed vegetables are required aside from as generic vegetables. Carrot is used in one thing, chilies two, peppers two, potatoes 3, etc. I'm yet to see a recipe that requires chick pea or cactus.
Lack of recipes in general. There's a huge variety of available ingredients, but only 17 dishes and 5 drinks we can make from them. I don't think it should be too hard to come up with another dozen or so foods.
Water management when it comes to cooking is pretty terrible. It's not bad with milk since those come as individual units, but it seems silly to require 50 water to make a cup of tea. I suggest making drinks require X water (like 10 or 15) and then taking that much from available water supplies in inventory.
It would be nice on foods that gave buffs if they listed them and a description on the crafting recipe or at least on the finished product. I suspect lots of things are waiting for these though.
That's all I've got off the top of my head. Thanks!
