More Accurate Tastes to TFC2 Foods

[Sayreg 9]

While I agree that taste is an individual experience. I also believe there is such a thing as general taste. There is such a thing as good food and bad food. Why do you think certain restaurants can charge so much for their food? Yes, if you take someone from china and another from USA they will have completely different eating experiences and we always love the food we got used to eat as children.

For instance the first time I try a Taco I was 35 years old and even so 18 year have passed I still do not like Tacos, I put then in the same category as Hamburgers and Hot dogs, Junk Food.

Not a professional cooker, but I love cooking for my family and extended family on special occasions. I dislike the taste system the way is currently because is discourages the Multiplayer experience in the sense of having a cooker for the town or tribe.

All the individual components that we have now for taste could work better if when the cooker found the perfect taste food he could share with other players.

 

I totally see where you are coming from on this point and agree that certain ways are better. I don't feel the current taste system really discourages multiplayer experiences though.

Look at it this way: as the main cook of the family, you know how to prepare food that is pleasing across all members of the family. But at the same time you know which members of the family simply do not like certain foods and can cook accordingly. Over all though, your family probably has very similar tastes.

 

Now lets look at SMP for TFC1. A dedicated cook can prepare foods with advanced tool tips, which other players can see. By preparing meals for other players and asking for feed back on the tool tips values, the cook can then start to gauge the taste profile for the others on the server. Over time a multiplayer cook can and will be able to create meals which meet the preferences of all the people partaking. This is further reinforced by the fact that taste profile is derived partially from the world seed, something all player's share on a single server. 

 

I will admit that the current rewards for matching flavor profile are too small to make all the effort really worth it. Should some sort of sanity or well-fed buff be instated for TFC2, then players might be encouraged to have a dedicated chef in their settlement.

 

Personally, I love to prepare different kinds of meal for the community members on our server when I can. Being the dedicated chef would be very fun in my mind.
