Oof, not looking forwards to scurvy. Considering they make sure to mention that the new reward item will be available in Interloper, anyone else think it might be a quiver that reduces arrow weight or something?

It's not spawning in my current Stalker game, neither is the miner's flashlight. Had this issue with some of the recipes until recently as well but that's been remedied.

With Frontier Cooking we now have flour which can be combined with water and allowed to ferment to create sourdough starter, a stand-in for yeast (which we don't have in-game). It would be a great addition to the game if we could combine some water and flour in a recycled can then leave it to "cure" for a while in order to make sourdough starter. With this starter we can now make proper bread which would be heartier than bannocks and maybe even sliceable to make sandwiches. I'd love a good peanut butter and peaches sandwich to help me survive the quiet apocalypse.

Just checked, Stews are reheatable. I just rarely use them since I prefer using flour for pies.

@conanjaguar I know for a fact that pies, porridge, and potatoes can't be reheated. I've got some broth I've left near the stove in PV Farmstead and it's never re-heated.

As much as I love Frontier cooking, one thing I don't like is that I can only prep items while a fire is going. I'm someone who stocks all the good cooking ingredients by the 6-slot stoves and revels in the ability to have all items be ready within seconds of each other; it makes my little OCD brain go wild with joy. So rather than requiring a lit fire to prep items, why not have the ability be tied to a cooking item (pot/skillet) instead? The recipes tab of the journal works like the crafting tab does and allows you to create uncooked versions of an item which can then be placed on a fire to cook at your convenience. This could also benefit those cooking large batches of items on lower-tier cooking appliances such as pot-belly stoves. While my first batch of porridge is cooking I can prep a bunch more and toss them on as soon as my first batch is done. I'd also like to see more options for broth such as soups (stews without the flour). Or perhaps a reishi or rose hip soup that provides the medical benefits of these teas but with a greater amount of hydration and nutrition. Oh, and why can't I reheat Frontier cooking items!? What is stopping me from putting my baked potato or pies back on the fire to make it hot! Maybe I want to reheat my porridge.

Alternatively, if we hold down a number key it brings up the wheel (light or weapons) for the associated key.

This is something I'd had in the back of my mind along with additional Feats. It would be cool if for every "Fault" that you took you could choose another Feat (provided they added more Feats to take). My ideas for "Faults" would be the following: PICKY EATER - Food takes 20% longer to cook (Obtained by burning 100 food items) PREY SCENT - Your scent meter always has at least one bar OR the smell range of animals is increased by 20% (Obtained by having at least one bar of scent for 72 hours) CLUMSY - Your sprain chance is increased by 20% (Obtained by receiving 250 sprains) MIGRAINES - You have a random chance of getting a headache every few hours (Obtained by drinking 100 energy drinks) SLOW WORKER - The time it takes to complete tasks such as crafting or breaking down wood is increased by 20% (Obtained by breaking down 300 items)

With the special item added at the end of the first Tale (no spoilers in case that's a concern here), I think there's some precedent set for a quiver for arrows as well for those archery fans. The quiver would be made from leather and have a weight 0.5 Kg but halve the weight of all arrows that you carry while it is equipped. Another idea for an item I had was a set of snow shoes. Like the Crampons they would weigh just half a kilo but would decrease your Mobility by 10% and provide no protection bonus. The effect they provide could be called something like Solid Footing, increasing your walk speed on snow to that of the normal road walking speed and offer you a 2 second bonus for walking over weak ice due to your weight being spread better.

Should say: When harvested you would get all 5 firewood and 2 line back after another 5 minutes. Oops.

I've always thought it would be cool if you could use line and cloth to bundle up certain items to reduce their overall weight (by virtue of making them easier to pack and carry) or for raw meat to additionally reduce their overall scent. Bundling items would require a short amount of time (5 minutes) and a certain number of items to bundle up. Items that are bundled see their individual overall weights reduced by a quarter. For example, you could bundle up 5 pieces of Fir firewood with two units of line. Unbundled his would weigh a total of 5 kilos but bundling it up would reduce the total weight down to 3.75 kilos. When harvested you would get all 5 firewood and 1 line back after another 5 minutes. Other crafting ingredients to make bundles would include: Bundle of cedar firewood = 5 cedar firewood +2 line Bundle of sticks = 10 sticks +1 line Bag of stones = 10 stones +1 line +1 cloth Bag of charcoal = 10 charcoal +1 line +1 cloth Bag of coal = 5 coal +1 line +1 cloth Bundle of feathers = 15 crow feathers +1 line Bag of X raw meat = 5 kilos of X raw meat +1 line +1 cloth (this has a scent rating equal to 1 kilo of raw meat) Bag of guts = 5 guts +1 line +1 cloth (has no scent rating) Bag of rifle/revolver casings = 50 cases +1 line +1 cloth

Awesome work @Admin, no longer having water disappear or things cook with the wrong calorie/weight values!

Additionally, is anyone else having water disappear from containers when changing zones (i.e. entering/leaving buildings)? I had the fridge and freezer at PV totally stocked with water and came back to find nada. When I tried refilling them and transitioned the water disappeared (I also tested a crow feather which didn't disappear). It's possible that the water is going to the lost and found box (dear god, that's going to be a heavy load to try to carry). But for now I'm leaving my water bottles all on the floor. EDIT: I also had a wolf put on an invisibility cloak after I killed it with an arrow (fortunately I was able to sift around where its tracks ended and get my arrow back) but I think this is a known issue.

@yollarbenibekler I'm running into the same issue, calorie amounts for any cooked food item are not correct for cooking level. I first noticed this with Venison steaks, which would show the proper calorie amount (1000) once they were done cooking and still on the cooking element but once removed they reverted to level 1 cooking levels (800). I tested the prepper pie and had the same results despite the fact it's a level 5 food item. Not sure what's going on here but at least I'm finding all the recipes and visor items I'd been missing.

Weird shit with some of the small pies as well, the calorie amounts don't match what they say they should be, uncertain if it's a case of decay now reducing calories or what.
