Recipes not affected by Culinex Backpack

Several recipes are not benefiting from the Culinex Backpack cooked food buffs. Haven't exhaustively tested, but Cakes and the Pizza slices definitely don't.

I didn’t even realize there was a backpack that affected recipes.

Did you have the Culinex backpack on when you cooked the meals and we're you wearing the backpack when you consumed the food items in question. Because mine is working as advertised. Looks like one of the better additions to the game in a while IMO.

On for full duration. Found out the questionable decision to require it being worn the whole time things cook when I was testing whether it worked on the watermelon and strawberry candies. (It does, which is awesome.) However, it does not for the above mentioned items. Wore it from start of recipe cooking through to deployment and pickup of each individual slice of the cake, and through the whole cooking process of the pizza.

Bacon Butty is also not getting buffed from the backpack.

Yeah, that was my experience, too. I have a feeling this is an oversight. I'm going to go back and make each ingredient with the backpack on. The crunchy bacon was affected. I can see the changes in the modifiers between crunchy bacon cooked with the backpack on versus crunchy bacon without the backpack. Butter obviously has no modifier. I haven't made bread yet with the backpack on, so I'm going to try that.

But the fruit sorbet, fruit muffin, and strawberry jam are all affected. And like was already pointed out, the watermelon and strawberry candies are affected.

Also, this is no surprise, really, because it makes complete sense, but the items don't stack when made with the backpack versus without. So it's really easy to tell even without looking at the modifiers whether it worked or not.

As someone who really enjoys the food system, I think it's a wonderful addition. Not earth changing or anything, but it makes the game more fun for me. I feel confident they're going to add cakes and the bacon sandwich as modified by the backpack in future updates.

I noticed that drying rack doesn't apply the extra bonus to dried stringy meat but smoker does.

Same, I'm having fun maxing out melee attack speed.

I’ve got the experience bonus up to about 250%! (I think it’s more like 230)

If they ever do another double xp event it’s going to be insane!

I just realized I didn't post this in the bug forum like I intended to. I'm fairly certain that except for the non-edible ingredient type foods all the foods should be getting the buffs and the ones that aren't are all bugs. But that's me.

That’s my guess, too. It’s the newer food types.
