first of all i suggest an primitive early flatbread.
basicly just foraging is needed for that.
i suggest a new forageable plant named Poaceae (which is basicly grass)
you can see it from the beginning and it can be found on grassland ofc
crafting recepie: Poaceae + 2 stones (stones are just the tools) = crushed seeds.
crushed seeds + water = flatbread dough
that dough can be "baked" on a fire pith a stone as tool again our without a stone. (sometimes it was baked directly in hot ash)
primitive food source for new chars.
proper bread like we know it today isnt just flour and water.
you need yeast for bread.
the bread in the game right now should be changed to "flatbread", it was the earlyest bread and very simple. (flour
+ water)
i suggest 2 different "real" bread types: Sourdough Bread and the "normal Bread"
the breaddough should stay the same.
but when the breaddough gets baked on its own, you get flatbread.
it could be baked on a pan or even a simple fireplace (if youre in need for some fast food)
flatbread was "baked" in glowing ash sometimes.
Normal Bread:
some kind of yeast has to be added to the breaddough.
add wort to the breaddough and bake it to produce bread.
sourdough bread: (i suggest this kind of bread is a energy food only, restores energy for small amounts of hunger)
this is more complex but its a relative simple way to produce a high quality bread with enough patience.
crafting recepie: liquid dough 200 units = 150 water 100 flour + liquid container
the liquid dough has to sour on the herbalist table for 12 rl hrs to become sourdough (150 units, it looses 25% amount while it sours).
like that produced sourdough has always the quality 10. (unless used materials are below 10 ofc)
you can add liquid dough again to the sourdough and let it sour again for 12 hrs to increase the amount of the sourdough and modify the quality by +- 2 to 5.
50 units of sourdough has to be added to the breaddough to become sour breaddough.
that can be baked to sourdough bread.
