Well, with Fan fest this week and TH escaping the evil SOE overlords next week (i.e. taking some vacation time), the question submission got bumped up earlier than I expected.
At first, he was looking for some "light hearted" or even "silly" stuff (which prompted me to immediately toss out the pie throwing question 
), stuff that could be tossed off quickly. But it looks like we're back to a somewhat serious tone.
), stuff that could be tossed off quickly. But it looks like we're back to a somewhat serious tone.I was really hoping to get some more feedback from you all to narrow things down (especially since TH and the mods have agreed to allow correspondants to submit polls for their profession forums), butI made the call to submit this:
Chef:
What are the plans for additional food schematics, either lootable (like the recently added "Mandalorian Wine") or as permanent additions to the chef skill boxes? The chef revamp cut down the number of craftable items drastically (although to be fair a larger ratio of thoseare useful), and we were told at that time that new food/drinks would be added in upcoming publishes and expansions. Will the Jedi Revamp add Force bonus foods? Will JTL add foods that improve piloting skills? Would the devs like a list of community suggestions?

I admit it's susceptible to the "Good ideas, we'll keep them in mind" or "not for a while" answers, but I'm trusting TH enough to at least let us know what happened to the schematic addition plan.
Any serious complaints about this question? The whole resource/component stack size, identical component requirement debate is probably a bit much to expect a detailed answer given TH's scheduling, and the idea of coordinating with the other crafting professions is a good one (but can't really be done right now).

I think it's a much easier question for them to answer, and it's time we got some newer schematics, a piloting bonus or force bonus food would be very intresting and usefulsome time down the line.

be sure to include that all the old schematics still have artwork associated with them, and in some cases its completely new artwork not currently used by any schematic chefs currently have access too (so no excuses about art resources being unavailable...or not having a viable name for "new" schematics). that and add in a request that we be notified when something new is added...no more mando wine style additions...at least let us know that there is something new coming in...doesn't have to be specific...just something saying "new drink schematic"...takes 30 seconds to type into patch notes, or into the friday feature, or wherever they would put it.

It seems to me that even a "real" answer to this question won't do us any good. Even if they said "yes, we absolutely have a new food for publish 9, one for 10, and two for JTL already specced and balanced", we haven't really accomplished anything with our question, and I think we can agree that an answer that detailed is unlikely.
I'd rather see the pie question.

"but I'm trusting TH enough to at least let us know what happened to the schematic addition plan."
mistake number 1. never trust a person of higher authority when it comes to something like this. we would all like to think that is we were managers or supervisors we would tell our employess everything, but it simply doesn't work that way. even as an employee we can't tell our customers everything. something are considred trade secrets or is confidential just to keep people's hopes from soaring, only to crash them when it doesn't happen.
The idea of Dev communication pursuant to future events is a ridiculous one. They might hint, but they have no intention of telling you or me anything other than wait and see. The idea that they would answer any questions on the game as it stands today is also laughable with three major balance publishes coming out. They won't give us statistics (that we are going to figure out anyway) for fear of exploitation beginning before the pub even comes out, or for fear that something people haven't quite figured out yet that would also be a game breaking discovery.
You would get a better chance at a real answer if you ask TH if he prefers a Double Vercupti, or a mix of defense enahncing foods when he plays. My goal in this would be to draw an answer that proves whether or not he actually plays the game, because I don't think he does (or does often enough to know why we all are so irritated).

I don't know if this has been answered, but what about Havla stats below 100 not working?

I didn't ask why it wasn't working. I was wondering if if they have answered if it will be fixed. I guess I didn't come across well.

i agree the posed question is mostly uselss, we already know what happened to the adding of new food schematics... mandalorian wine, ting, there is your answer. more will come someday, far and few between, and they arent going to give any stats on it even AFTER its in the game, so why bother asking.
At least the feature request of making componants that do not effect the outcome of the final assembly stack to 100 is a feature request we could get a solid answer to. And it is different then having resources stack to 1m, much different, since resources effect the finalassembly.
All we are asking for is easier management of things that dont matter, as opposed to things that do.

hehe, nothing will be fixed. ever.
answer put through the TH machine:
We understand and the team is currently testing to find the problem.
hrmm... it takes us 5 min to find the problem, and takes them 5 months to find the answer, IF they find it. how many reasons do i have NOT to be negative?

oh yes, sorry, i wasnt paying attention due to trying to get all my posts in the forum before i was spontaneously logged out... 
but im rather certain i read someplace that they are aware of the havla problem. It isnt much of a problem really, since most chefs can make 100+ anyway, but ruby biel on the otherhand is worthless.
