Salt and yeast are very rare
I can't make more bread or pie. I got plenty of flour but no salt and yeast. Default apocalypse loot settings. Is this a feature? I got quite a few mods, but only QOL related. Nothing that changes spawn rates.

I don't find that often either.

And you should be able to make sourdough with just water, flour, and time.

Edit: I mean, in real life you can make sourdough, you can't in-game as far as I know, but I'd like to have it in game.

I want a peanut butter jelly sandwich so badly. I got sacks of flour. But not one bit of yeast or salt.

There are dishes that use just flour and water. This should be a feature.

+1 would love the ability to make sourdough starter with dough and water and maybe a little honey/fruit

Likewise the ability to grind flour would be most excellent.

I tried to translate a dish from my country that is made using water, flour and mushrooms but google translate said "scumbag". Yeah, there's plenty of stuff you can do without salt and yeast.

Yeah you can also bake meat in the oven with a flour crust (salted and with aromatics makes it better) no yeast.. delish. You dont eat the crust it's just there to keep moisture in and it's just flour and water with salt

Salt and yeast can be frustrating to find but unless a mod broke something (possible, what they say they do is no guarantee of what they actually do) there ought to be some out there. Maybe in the storeroom of a convenience store or market, on rare occasions kitchen drawers.

Salt and pepper spawn all the time in diners, cafes, restaurants and fast food places. Look in the kitchen units.
Yeast spawns in stores, mega marts and bakeries/pie shops.

Vinegar is even more annoying lol To preserve vegetables you need jars (rare) lids for the jar (super rare) Sugar (common) and vinegar (super rare) Which is pretty expensive when non perishable food is plentiful and fishing/trapping/foraging can get you a weeks worth of food within 5 mins lol :Nutcracker:

We are totally locked out of the Vinegar game due to the rarity of it
https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Vinegar
see the vinegar game
the game is the bell pepper, the egg plant and the leek
thats the game. but how to play it idk
i found Vinegar is more likely to be in smaller shops
though wiki just states counters, theres a bunch of counters there which i have personally never found vinegar in.
I found in the general stores. And sometimes the kitchens of restaurants and stuff

Terrible poem, its like you don't even try to rhyme. Could've easily just said:

Access to vinegar is lame,
so we can't use it much in the game.

Veggies are the way to go.
But how to play, I do not know.

The wiki says its found in counters,
and in shops from my encounters.

i am not sure why you keep assuming those are poems of his at this point ^^

RNGesus flips the bird at you.
Yeast is pretty uncommon, yes. But salt should be very common.

Its a column
and its off topic.
its normal for people to write columns
people have written in column since the advent of print
here we are actually writing in wave format, that is we are getting longer each sentence
