Corn on the Cob Vs Baked Potato

[Abusive]

This seems to be a bug/mistake

A baked potato is just 1 potato and has 10 food and -5 water - fair enough.

The corn on the cob is 1 corn and 1 water - but has the same 10 food and -5 water - seems to me the water should be 0 at least - not the same -5. Or the baked potato should be -10 water.

honestly this whole alpha needed more time in the oven half the mechanics are problematic and it brought back several bugs that were fixed by A19

of course be careful saying such things on here as it leads to a few people just mud slinging because they refuse to accept there are bugs in the game.

Don't really see an issue, both are compatible for their tier, and have semi logical recipes. I mean it makes sense to require water to boil corn and it doesn't require it for the potato but that doesn't have to translate into different stats for a basic item

One doesn't have to be better or worse then the other although there is no reason they couldn't change it.

I have survived on found food/bacon eggs until i get rank3 of LotL - probably by day 60 - and then a 9x9 farm was enough food. I liked getting a farm going earlier in previous alphas - but this makes farming more end game. Ive been playing since 2017 - so I have not seen it all - but alot.

You know, it works both ways. People have been trying to explain to you other ways to get food for over a month now, and you have yet to open your eyes. You just keep making the same simple-minded focus and refuse to realize how things actually work.

I think it's about fair. Corn is far more abundant on the vanilla navesgane game. So making it a better food source than the potato which is more rare doesn't seem to make sense from a game pov. They are both very basic foods anyway, and they seem to only be in the game as a means of avoiding starvation while you are gaining the skills and resources to make more interesting meals. I tend to look at the -5 hit to water as a punishment for settling for the easy food options.

I saw somewhere that it's a bug/error and corn isn't supposed to be -5 water. Can't remember where though, I think it was one of the big youtubers so it's not gospel by any stretch. I'll see if I can remember where that info came from.

Edit - it was from this line in the patch notes:
"Corn on the Cob, Cornbread, and Baked Potatoes now give 10 Food, 5 Health, and 5 Water"

So it's either described wrong in the notes, or is an error in the xml.

Well the devs should be back on working the game as the holiday is over. Hopefully we should see updates soon.

Yah, it definitely doesn't make sense. Having to use a water for corn AND have it cost you water seems imbalanced.

From a logical standpoint - the baked potato is dry and starchy, so it making you a little thirsty is totally sensible. Boiled corn is very juicy and has actual water content, it should do the opposite of make you thirsty to eat it.

Well, you need to give them an extra week to cope with withdrawal symptoms after they wind down from the cocktail of substances they use during the holidays

Nothing worse than coming down off a 3 week eggnog and gingerbread bender. And if candy canes or fruitcake were involved, they may need rehab, meaning longer delays...

Too much awesome sauce.

Well, their idea of a pumpkin cheesecake recipe calls for beer instead of cheese, so that checks out.

Really, they could require a grill and just have the player grill the corn. You get that around the same time as a pot anyway.
