Bigger Cauldron

Running several Cauldrons this world is a painpoint, I think many can agree.
A larger Cauldron with the inventory size of a Elegant Table (144 space) would be nice, and reduce this need of having the need for 40 cauldrons...running and to be fired.

1 large cauldron would = 14 small cauldrons.
make it cost 100 metal (14 cauldrons = 84 metal)
unliftable
Hold 500L of water (typically small cauldrons is 30L, whats 3.33 per slot)
Fuel for small cualdron is 50units, large could use up to 200 or more maybe.

Overengineered tbh, just make cauldrons like 6x6 or 7x7 space by default and the issue basically fixes itself without a need for some huge cauldron (not like being able to put at most 3 lobsters in a fully sized cauldron is realistic, you can fit 3 in a kitchen pot), they did it for ovens they can do the exact same here. Probably they'd add some diff formula to the new cauldron too same as they did with pickles (old jars are still better mathematically).

This is the correct way to think.

A big cauldron would be cool for roleplay purposes and also go well with the 'perpetual stew' idea which jorb said would be cool to implement like six years ago.
