Thread: Why is everybody so fervent over Milk and Eggs?

Let's be practical here. Don't rush to conclusions. Right now, Milk and Eggsare #1 on the Chef Correspondont list, and many posters insisted that theybe added right away!


Why?


Do you really think recipes that include Milk and Eggs are going to be any better, or sell any better, than our other busted recipes? Are you assuming that Jaar and Bantha Butter are going to be better than Charde and Wastril Bread? Are we all just standing here praying that milk and eggs will magically find us another Tatooine Sunburn imitation?


Let's be practicaly. The only thing that will come from adding Milk and Eggs isa largervariety of useless, unbeneficial food and drink items. Now, I do realize that many items from the Desserts line requires Milk and Eggs, but still, are you really selling these Desserts to customers anyway? Domestic Arts is still better. In conclusion, I just feel that "Add Milk and Eggs" is a very, very silly waste of the #1 problem on the Chef Correspondont list.


If you feel otherwise, please tell me. Keep it constructive, people

How you say this is a waste of time? Deserts is a quarter of the entire Chef profession. I don't know how armorsmithing breaks down, but if leggins is a seperate branch and one of the key elements for it is essentially missing from the game woudln't you wouldn't think that armoursmithing was complete without leggings. So why would you think the inability to makes deserts is any less.

I could care less if there is another Sunburn in the line, I like to RP and and can't serve a proper meal without a desert.



Never trust a skinny chef.

Milk and Eggs should be elminated. I think it will be too difficult to add this to the game at this moment. We must understand that the devs have a lot to do at the moment. We should keep this simple. The recipes should be changed to use other ingredients.

I actually agree there jagnac, and it's something I hadn't considered before.

Looking at Tatooines resource table atm, theres about 13minerals, 5chem, 4 gas and about 24 flora - thats a hell of a variety to choose from, plus the other resources we use.

Maybe the milk & eggs should be changed to one of the other little used flora's ?

Working with the same ingredients is really really boring. I like experimenting around with new ingredients, besides have you seen the sprite for Blue Mlik hehe can't wait to make some of that!


Actually how difficult it will be to add to the game will all depend on how they decide toimpliment it, if they merely decide to have NPC's and foragers to find it more readily in larger amounts than thats a coding adjustment, if they decide to add in another profession for milk and eggs then thats a project in itself.


So you can't say right off the bat that it WILL be too difficult to adjust.

I wouldn't care if they got removed, though it'd be nice if we could make all the things we have schematics for. I do agree making it #1 issue may be overkill(it should be in the top 5, but #1?), since theres about 100 recipes, and only 11 of them actually need milk and eggs...

My first preference is to have them in the game. If, however, that is too much of a problem then yeah, they should be removed. But I would be a bit disappointed only for variety reasons.



And the reason it is such a big issue for me is because it is such a "what the hell were you people thinking?" mistake. It wasn't a typo in code or doing some equations wrong or a memory leak...it was a mistake. Just really bugs me.

No that I'm any kind of a coding genius, as I have limited coding knowledge, but I don't think it's totally unreasonable to merely up the probablitity and quantity of which you find them for scouts as we have seen they can already forage them. Each level of scout as a level of probability of and quantity of finding a item, so this would merely be a adjustment of code, as oppossed to creating whole new code.

So then you all agree with me, right?


So can we drop the milk/eggs issue to #5 on the list, or something? I think the only real argument here was that it's important for role-playing, but even that isn't a very pragmatic reason considering it has nothing to do with game mechanics.
