I dunno if i should be in Suggestions or in here in Questions, but i decided to post here because i gotta ask: Why? How? Bread,Pie or Porridge? But what about Jam?
Some changes in 1.15-pre don't sit right with me... (yeah, i'm aware this is more of a subjectiv topic. But every opinion counts. Care to share yours?)
- Don't get me wrong, i love the pies and the boost you can have with fruit now. No more: "Uhh, caveman eat Berry, now!" -style survival, when it comes to fruit intake. Yet i feel there are some downgrades to some other meals as a result...
Pre 1.15-pre (or better: in 1.14- stable) you had Jam, Porridge and Meat-stew with (a) boild Berry to get that extra bit of fruit-saturation. And i think with Jam you where a bit at a loss (Bug?) because the outcome was equal or less saturation to their raw total ingredients. But it had a VERY long shelf-live as a trade-off. So i considered it intended.
Since 1.15-pre10 and +, however you now have 400 fruit-sat.(saturation) with Blueberry jam! That's a (80 sat per Blueberry, 60 per honey, you need two and two -so: (2*80)+(2*60)=280 sat -> 400-280=120!) 120 extra boost to Fruit-saturation! Yes, please! And there is no cut on the shelf-live
...But why would i care for pies now? -> Sure, you put (as of 1.15pre11) 8 Berries in and get a pie worth of 12 Berries of food out! But you also need 4 doughs now (as dough they are uneatable, but they can be bread instead!). A dough turned into bread is 5* it's sat in raw grain! A Pie only delivers 960 grain-sat. (when not made of flax-grain), 4 doughs deliver 1200 grain-sat. as bread . So i loose 240 grain-sat as a trade-off. Or 4 raw grain, in other words. - not as appealing now....
I am noticing that this is getting long and i don't want to scare you off with a Wall-of-Text. So...
TL;DR: Pies are cool, even with the change from 1.15-pre1 to 1.15-pre11. BUT aren't some other meals loosing their relevance in comperation? Players are bound to min-max sooner or late depending on their game-progress. Some meals and food are indangered to become obsolete. Others are concerningly to-high-effort to be viable to pursue, like eggs. I rather Pig-farm for top value redmeat, instead of hassling with chicks
- opinions? Observations? Progressiv critisism? ( i sadly have no alternatives to present, for now)
