More reasonable serving sizes

[Liss12]

Right now hearthlings eats whole pie in one go and need 10+ dishes per day so you need literal battery of ovens to satisfy needs of even tiny 3 ppl village. It doesn't make much sense and makes cooking quite tiresome job. Perhaps we could make pies and other baked goods splittable on slices/portions (just like pumpkins) where each slice being independent dish? I really wish cooking would take less number of independent operations.

It is comical how much Hearthlings eat, for sure. I'm not sure how people feel but I am under the impression that people who develop their characters competitively would like to eat what they want, when they want. Maybe a middle ground could be reached where food gives significantly more stats but also significantly more hunger. If we made food give more hunger it should also give more energy. The upside to these changes is that people won't have to cook so much food, a possible downside is that some people might enjoy the gameplay of crafting loads of food and stuffing their faces.

instead of creating multiple art assets, each food could have a number of "servings", so when you click to feast it would simply reduce the number until is gone

Brilliant! Fine suggestion pal.

That could work.

Cant wait devs announcement:
For a fair price of ruining mechanics of food sinks and character attributes development, we decided to make food serving portions more realistic, just because someone admitted it.

well, since devs care only for a small "pvp-gods" group happiness, and those would really like the idea of eating 1 food instead of 100, that's sound pretty realistic

You missed the point completely. My idea was to make cooks life easier by making cooking in bulk less tideous. I literally dropped the game this world because of how annoying and exhausting cooking is when you are cooking for a whole village. Im aint asking to rebalance food and stat growth, obviously, if we are able to "eat" each pie 8 times it would require x8 ingridients to make.

Honestly the majority of mechanics in this game are like this because "grinding is fun", and usually it is. The sheer volume of food and curios we are compelled to craft to try and be optimal can definitely reach levels of tedium tm. I feel like the hunger system is meant to be both a catchup mechanic and a way to limit endless grinding, but tables make hunger almost non-existent.
