Aloe Salve only 1 use?

[GrampyNH]

Seems like for 3 months in the game you need this every day, but if it is only good for one use now. Eventually there wont be enough Aloe or Coconuts to make flasks and Salves .Is this intentional? I figure at least 3 or more uses would be better. What do you all think?

Unlimited uses was a bug. 1 use is intended. You can grow them for unlimited aloe vera. No issue

I agree on the 3 uses thing. Flare guns get 2 shots, water skins hold 3 servings, water bottles hold 5...the code is there to be able to up the dosages...

What about the coconuts for the flask? You cany grow coconuts and for 3 months thats 90 coconuts

Sure, lets make meat have 3 bites too... There's really no need to make 3 doses per salve, except to make the game easier for some. You barely even use aloe as it is anyway.

3 months out of the year I had to use them

Well you know they reworked the UV in 0.54 right? I have a feeling you're commenting on outdated content.

I understand what you're saying but you do bring up a thought I had the other day... (and yes, I will post this in suggestions)

Meat should "stage down" when consumed... Basically having 1, 2, or 3 bites available depending on size and maybe "step down" to the next smallest meat size when you consume a portion - like small vanishing, naturally, med stepping down to small, large stepping down to med.

No change to the hunger bars they fill, though, just doled out in portions. Like if 1 small meat fills 1 bar, 1 large meat would fill 1 bar three times (three bites)

Can't say i'm a fan of the idea, but there's no harm in posting it.

I have to agree with Broadbent, it is all a matter of adapting to what the world offers you and set your play style accordingly.
I don't know what difficulty setting you are on, but I am guessing that it is normal, fx I play on hard and my game started in the beginning of March giving me High UV every day and everything seems to be mostly doubled or halved on hard, need for food, water, speed of regrow, harvesting, damage from predators, speed of sickness etc. basically everything seems to be roughly twice as hard, but still it is manageable once you adapt to it :)
Your UV may be higher depending on what time of year you play, that may off course be a factor, but spend some time fishing, exploring wrecks under water, travel with your raft during the hottest hours :)

I always disliked that you consumed the container too, never made sense to me why I was eating the whole coconut to get the effect :P

Doesmt custom islands make it easier anyway? Talk about making the game easier....they sure do!!!

Yes, but my point is that if you find ONE you have unlimited. It's not hard and doesn't need to be made easier.

OK I get your point......I wasnt looking for unlimited use just more then 1 use. It's like the air tank....3 uses. OR maybe make so 1 aloe would make the salve. Just kickin around ideas

Kind of reminds me of 7 Days to Die where the water used in a recipe consumes the glass jar as well. That can't be good for ones intestinal tract....

Since coconuts seem to be a finite resource it would be a little more reasonable if the coconut flasks weren't consumed when using the aloe salve, antidote, etc..

You must have one hell of a garden to produce 2 aloe vera a day during the summer months. ;)

Nevertheless; the new raft canopy keeps me from getting fried when sailing between islands now and hiding in the shade when getting sunstroke seems to help a lot more than it did before.
