making bread dough should be in ingreadients and be titled "Bread Dough" instead of bread in the baking section.

Bread dough can just be baked straight, so it is good where it is.

I second the OP.

It shouldn't show you what you're making after baking as that's not what you are making, it should have the picture of the Dough instead. Why? Because you're making the dough, until you bake it, it isn't the finished product, this created an unrealistic view of what you're actually creating, can confuse noobies and ends like how the wiki is with a new character not even understanding that you make 'Dough' first and bake it.

I think it's slightly misleading as is, just a little tricky for us newbies to find. However, it doesn't take long to adjust to that, and that's how all the other baked foods are - it says the food name (without "dough") and you just assemble the dough (as it says the result will be in those crafting tabs). While bread dough is used in a few things, the things in "Ingredients" are more literally ingredients.

It's still a matter of what you're actually 'Craft'ing and depicting it incorrectly. While the end product you desire is indeed 'Bread', what you 'Craft' is 'Bread Dough'.

While this doesn't necessarily break anything, the way I see it, it's incorrect, or at least 'less correct' than the alternative.

I don't think it should be moved to ingredients, however this further brings along the problem with Bread is increased because it's an ingredient somewhere else.

The system shouldn't be lax simply because people 'will eventually figure it out', it should be simple so that they don't have to.

Except then the ingredient list becomes five pages long.

Doesn't have to, and shouldn't go under Ingredients.

The pages should stay as they are, however what you're 'Craft'ing can change.

I understand why they would set it the way it is, I just don't see why it should show final product if that's not what you're literally Crafting, perhaps they want to show End Product and not Direct Product, but in the case of Bread Dough this is a mistake since there is a single Direct Product, yet multiple End Products

Baked product icons are more recognizable at glance than dough icons.
