Cooking Revamp

[Austin Hunter]

Curious who would be interested in level 99 cooking becoming a “master chef”.

At level 99 the player can place a stack of an item to be cooked and a stack of the ingredients required and if they are equal to the correct amount, it cooks and becomes the cooked food.

This, or a style similar to Minecraft where you place the ingredients and every so often it cooks one of them and it goes to another slot similar to furnaces.

How bout we just make cooking like Minecraft

imagine being able to cook 6 stacks(16x) of lobster on six pots in 3:50 that would be absurd

that's how it used to be back in 2018, 3 cooking stoves and everything was done in no time. God I miss that system.

See I think 3:50 per still so each STACK would be times 3:50 x 16 so it would take nearly 62 minutes to cook the whole stack.

Old system was the best

This should have been a well expected feature since it's release. People been suggesting this(including myself) for ages, but they never done anything about it.

Let's give to caesar what's caesar's. Yes, since it's realease and after a ton of sugges/criticsm, they've made some qol changes along with bug fixes and we acknowledge that. Even so, these changes were nothing but mitigatory ones, never close to fix the real issue with cooking.
Take the newest ones for example; stacking pots on inventory was something we've asked for and it's a good thing, fresh food and incentive to make shops is also great, however it has nothing to do with the main cook mechanic issue. Cooking is still being a pain the ass of activity.

Letting people cook food in bulks/stacks at time would fix, if not completely, a huge part of the current cooking system failure, even if you still need to wait a long time to cook some recipes - like cakes - it wouldn't be a problem, because a time later all that stack would be cooked by itself.
Having to open huds, drag ingredients, close huds, drag pots here to there, all these steps repeatedly, every time just to cook some few food is obnoxious. The prison "Press E to wash dishes" thing is less boring than this.

They wanted to make cooking something new and creative and that's a fine intent, but it turned out to be an over complexed thing, not intuitive and annoying due to the large number of steps and steps that must be done repeatedly just to acquire just some few stuff.
