Make Yule Log holiday quest

[OptimalButthole]

I go to collection to see the ingredients and they are all question marks. The quest doesn't give any ingredients. How are we supposed to know?

Craft one golden ingot and it will unlock.

No idea. I personally looked it up online.

The recipe is:
1 wheat
1 vanilla
1 cocoa bean
1 cherry

Doesn't help. Already crafted gold ignot but ingredients for the yule food are question marks.

Yes, I have a bookmark to all the meals and ingredients for the game but I'm wondering how the player would have been able to craft it other than just trial and error. I assume a quest would lead the player to make it but this quest is only for the holiday event star path, and there is no actual quest that shows you how to make it as far as I know.

Having to trial and error such a food, especially for the holiday event, is not only a loss of resources and a time waster, but bad game design.

A lot of meals can be trial and error, but they're also based on their real-life recipes. So if you know the ingredients of a dish IRL, you may be able to easily guess its recipe in the game.

I do like experimenting with ingredients to figure out the meals missing in my collection, personally. As for the resources, it depends on what kind. For example, fruits and spices are easy to get, so wasting them isn't big of a deal. The only resource that I definitely don't want to waste is the coal, though. Which is why I usually give up after a few tries and look up the recipe online instead.

The way I see it is that the meals that I didn't mean to cook can still be useful to me. Either I sell them for extra money or I eat them for the golden energy bar (or keep them for later). So it's never a complete waste to me.
