There should be a discount for camp supplies if your party is not full

I played BG3 when the early access just came out and camp supplies wasn't a thing back then. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy this system and I think it's fair but it's always 80. I love to play with only 1-2 characters on tactician but I still need to have 80 food for long rest. It's just illogical. I was sure 1 character = +20 food supplies for long rest but nope. It's always 80. Right now I am the end of second act and I need to long rest every 1-3 fight because both my characters use spell slots and I really don't mind that however, it's super frustrating to just travel around merchants to gather 80 camp supplies every time.
I really don't see any issues about adjusting required amount based on party size.

its 40, not 80, and it was always a thing in EA.. you can find tons of food lying around too if you look hard enough.

You're feeding the whole camp, not just who goes out to quest. And before "Well then why doesn't it cost more the more people you have at camp?" Because, story stuff. They don't want to punish you for having as many companions in your party as you possibly can. So it's better and safer to just make it always cost the same amount every time.

It's 80 on tactician.

Maybe he is playing with tactigian difficulty. In there the supply cost is 80…
Maybe your ”lonely wolf” Is just hungry!

But in reality the game does not count how many people are in the camps. You can have 8 persons in the camps and the supply usage is the same as with 1,2,3,4,5, or what ever number. The reason is game balance. There is same amouth of suplies, money ans stuff no matter how many characters you have. So that is why game does not care how many characters you have the income/cost is the same no matter the situation.
So unles they reduce the loot for players with less characters, they don´t change the expenses neither.

I've got way too many supplies on Normal. Tactician sounds like a decent challenge for future play-thoughs.
