I just did some testing.
Slicing up a pumpkin before adding it to a trough adds about 2-3 times more food to the trough as putting in whole pumpkins.
Makes the whole update rather pointless I'd say.
I tested it with empty troughs. filling one with whole pumpkins, the other with sliced pumkins, so I could compare the meters.

Re: Adding whole pumpkins adds less food
We already speculated if this might be the case. I guess it is intended (though it doesn't make too much sense) since the same goes for taking a block of wood as fuel or 5 branches. The block weighs less than the branches do.

If it's intended Jorb and Loftar must really hate us. This is pretty much equivalent to giving a q penalty when you use the "craft all" button rather than the "craft" button repeatedly.

Re: Adding whole pumpkins adds less food
I really cannot see any reason as to why this would be intended.

Noted. Not intended.

Re: Adding whole pumpkins adds less food
Could you give a heads-up when this has been fixed?

That's good to hear. Was going to be a bit sad if that was the intention..jorb wrote:Noted. Not intended.

Re: Adding whole pumpkins adds less food
I'll give the heads-up myself, then.
Tested again.
It seems to have been fixed. Whole pumpkins now add the same amount of food to a trough as sliced pumpkins.
