my main complaint was about the Cooked Food prices tied to Buffs, not adjusted with the gameplay of Cooking itself.

with this change gameplay was removed.

Losing the ability to restore my stamina made me not want to cook at all. I used to cook a lot, I had the sprint mod so I'd burn through food to restore energy. Now I have to wait for it to restore. I stopped playing which sucks, I love Dinkum but the cooking and stamina changes just killed all the fun for me.
