Which Perk Ruduces Consumable Crafting Ingredients?
I'm near the end of the game and assigning surplus points to perks that are not a priority for my play style. I've discovered that one of them cuts in half the number of ingredients needed to craft consumables, and in particular, those for Ultimate Hunter. However, I have no idea which one it was.

I've gone through all of the perk descriptions, and none that I saw mentioned this benefit. I'm looking to do a second play through and that that perk would be one of the earlier ones I would pick up if I knew which one it was. I'm thinking it might be Master Blaster, but that is only supposed to apply to crafted explosives. Anyone know the answer?

you unlock those via side missions mostly in faiths region

Thanks, but that's not what I'm asking. I've liberated all regions and have done every single side mission and ended up with a good number of unused perk points. I then used them to unlock a half dozen or so perks all at once. One of them ended up reducing the number of ingredients required for consumables by half. For future reference, I'm hoping someone knows which one it was.

Congratulations on your Google Fu that in two seconds found absolutely nothing relevant. I found that earlier and it contains the exact same descriptions found in game, as do all of the other pages Google found regarding perks.

I'll try and be as clear as I possibly can. One of the perks reduces the number of ingredients used for consumables (Ultimate Hunter, Ultimate Survivor, The Furious, The Fast, etc). However, there is not any perk that has this function listed in its description. It's a hidden benefit of one of the perks and I'm trying to find out which one it is because I would like to use it early in my next play through.

I do appreciate you following up, but I know for a fact that Harvest Master is not it. I unlocked that perk early and have used it through most of the game to double what gets added to inventory. For exampe, I know that if I pick 1 Prairie Fire plant, I get two Prairie Fire inventory samples.

But that's not what I'm asking about. To craft Ultimate Hunter, your inventory normally gets depleted by 2 Prarie Fire, 2 Jimson Weed and 2 Mustard. With the mystery perk, crafting Ultimate Hunter only depletes your inventory by 1 Prairie Fire, 1 Jimson Weed and 1 Mustard. That change happend long after I had the Harvest Master Perk.

To elaboratre, I have now played through the entire game and am now playing around with resetting outposts before I start another full playthrough. I am fully conversant with how crafting works and have crafted everything available. I have also done every side mission and almost all single player challenges. That resulted in a whole bunch of surplus perk points that I thought I would splurge on the remaining perks. I had a number that I did not initially purchase because they didn't appear to suit my play style. However, one of these late bought perks has a hidden side benefit that does cater to my play style and I don't konw which one it is.

Really? You're going for insults when you clearly haven't read what I wrote. I'm not asking how to unlock perks. I've unlocked every single one and purchased almost all of them. One of them has a hidden benefit that is not described anywhere in the game nor anywhere on the Web that I can find. I'm just asking if anyone knows which is the mystery perk that has the undocumented benefit of reducing consumable ingredients by half.

These aren't gotten via perks, but by side missions. Tweak's side missions get you the fast and the furious reduced components. I forget where you get the other ones.
