Cook credo sucks

[shubla]

So yeah, it has 2 pre-reqs, and it is "dead end" credo.

The +15 cons bonus is useless.
+30 Cooking bonus is also quite useless.

Bonuses to cooking won't apply to baked goods...
It's pretty terrible credo overall!

It should be reworked to be better.
I suggest:
1. Increased speed when cooking (should apply to all food related items, doughs too)
2. +25 perc & +35 cooking
3. Quality bonus when cooking (should apply to all food related items, doughs too)
4. Baked goods take less time to bake -25% (everything that needs roasting/baking/boiling etc.)
5. Chance to double the output when cooking (should apply to all food related items, doughs too)

I think that these would be reasonable to make it worth something, when you look at how good other credos are, like mining-related credos.

every other credo needs to be reduced to the power of cooking credo in stead

I'd like to see something unique, like the ability to use normally inedible ingredients or something. Similar to how cave hermit allows you to eat slime/stalagooms. Or, maybe a category of 'fine dishes' or something, locked behind cook.

Don't really like the reduced baking time.

after the cook credo there should be cannibalism credo and let you butcher and cook coprses

While I like the idea of magically making goods bake faster, it shouldn't come from a credo. It takes x time to cook something based on temp and air pressure. Maybe give access to a Hearth Magic (cost shoudln't be too much).

If it's a matter of number of goods made per unit of time, I'd rather see a bigger/better oven.

Love the other ideas, though.

that sounds like a recipe to get me to literally never do credos again ayyyy

But it would be nothing new to credos really.

[SnuggleSnail]

I rly feel like this is a good example of credo apologists not even knowing which credos have useful perks. Cook is like one of the more powerful credos for industry, and they mean you need to hunt like 10% less whales.

Very true. Don't really like it there, either, but a good enough point that I'll retract my statement.
