[Suggestion] Farming / Cooking Rework (Talents) + Misc

12 votes

The farming and "cooking" talent tree is honestly, a waste of talents. Farming and cooking overall is lackluster, the talent tree could fix that. Choosing to be a cook / farmer should not be a "must have" on the team, but it shouldn't be overlooked.

- Exclusive cooking recipes unlocked in talent tree, such as:
Prime Steak and Carrots (could combine effects or have new ones entirely)
- Rework talents that provide TEAM buffs vs "foods you eat buff yourself"
- This would give a star next to the food you crafted, similar to other buffed things
- Farmers should be able to gather more food specifically vs talent in gathering tree
- More variety of meats / veggies (I know, coming at some point)
- Some way of "Unique" player recipes:
I could add 5 soybeans and it will give a modifier to longer food duration..
or
I could add salt and it would preserve the food longer - etc, lots of things to do with this.

Additionally, herbalism should fall under this tree as well.

Even with the faster food growth talent, food spoils so quickly that you can't finish the agriculture stockpile mission (it takes 4 squash to make 3) and the only other way to do it is to waste 4 talents to get the one where grown food doesn't spoil at all. This needs serious rework.

I'm so in love with the farming/cooking in this game and it really breaks my heart to see that there is barely any farming talents to utelize. I don't want to eat raw or spoiled food, and those talents would actually have a better home under Survival than Farming. I want more cooking recipes, and more bonuses for the crop plots and foraging!

Please please re-visit this aspect of the game, especially with the stockpile missions now active.

Well, I actually think there are 3 talents buried in the tree that make the other wasted points worth the price:
"Shoot the Breeze" which allows fertilizer to convert to gunpowder (berries for bullets), "Food Pyramid" which gives +1 stomach slot, and "Fresh is Best" which allows you to not have to sit on your plots waiting for things to ripen. Yes, the rest are just okay, but those 3 make solo play possible for me (and I now have over 1200 hours in game).
