Vaccines and You + Fishing/Cooking Rant
All the tier 3s cost 750 Ren and 250 Purple Exotic to craft. Totally a value of 2000 Ren to make one for a 20,600 second immunity to whatever they vaccinate against. Versus 100 Ren for a 10,800 buff for the tier 2; you can make 20 of those for 1 tier 3.

Like. Game development is hard, I get it. But... my guys. C'mon now. Did anyone think when they put these in?

My suggestion for a fix is to make the research cost for these even higher, but lower the crafting cost as you go up the tiers. As if you're learning to make them more efficiently. Consumables like these are never going to be built en masse I feel by anyone, but the current system is just god awful. I feel the tier 3 should cost less to craft than the tier 2 (to show off your better tech). Or barely more, if you're going to keep the extra duration. Barely more. I MIGHT craft a tier 3 if it costs double a tier two (while lasting twice as long), but I certainly won't if it lasts twice as long but costs three times as much. And certainly not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 20 times as much.

(The only instance I can imagine of these huge buffs to duration and the 20 times increase would be, maybe under the context of me dropping down into a Tarkov map while about to get into 15 different PvP fights with people using weapons that constantly cause wounding/bleeding/poison, and I don't have enough space to drop in with two tier 2s. I can't imagine anyone, for any part of this game, boss fight, or mission EVER being fine throwing down 2000 Ren to be immune to something.)

Using the weapon tier crafting system (crafting costs going up) for consumables is a bad idea.
Fishing is garbo. Going full fishing build has been an exquisite regret I never want to experience again. Not only does it turn out that 'rare' and 'uncommon' fish don't appear in all fishing locations, but in the places they do, even with a full build for it AND the fishing module, it's still incredibly rare. Worse, there's no point to getting rare fish. They don't buff the food they're used in, they're.... it's just bad. Awful. And pointless.

Self buffs to your own consumed food is nice. And maybe should be kept in. But it sucks not having any coop buffs to cooking for other people. Only the plant growing helps the others and nothing else. Tis sad.
