Possible Mistake? (food bonuses)

[Gargoyle Girl]

I just recently earned the perk of sometimes growing golden plants at my farm, and noticed something as I experimented with food combinations at the cookpot.

The Rare Mushy Berry Pudding and Rare Hearty Berry Pudding both have the exact same benefits. In everything else so far, there has been some slight variation in the bonuses you get from foods, with similar ingredients, but these two are exactly the same.

Could it be a mistake?

More of an oddity than a mistake.

Rare Mushy gives +24 Food and +5.25 HP /sec for 20sec.... a Golden Heart Berry gives you +22.5 Food, +62.5 max HP, +5.5 HP /sec for 20sec and +21.4% melee dam...

When 2 items give a similar buff (+HP/sec in this case) only the highest single buff counts, so what's happening is the Heart Berry is just overwriting the Mushrooms buff. And the +35 Food would be the same.

Make sense?

edit: Must be honest, it took me a good few minutes of puzzling to figure it out.

Every food item has its own list of cooking bonuses, usually related to the base item stats. When there is a conflict, the best bonus applies.

The total list of food combinations doesn't matter. Just remember what each ingredient adds to a meal, and you'll be fine.

Higher rarity boosts all the stats of a meal, and talent point bonuses are also shown on the tooltip.
