Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) Hello! About a month ago, without changing anything to my toon or recipes, the timers for the buffs i got from my full house pizzas, decreased from around 5h from 1 bite to 50 minutes. At first i thought something was changed to the food system but it seems not everyone was affected. So to detail... I used to make full house pizzas, using 30 ingredients that were around 40-41ql that gave 5h buff from the first bite. After the change, exactly the same ingredients, even better ql pizza, only give 50min to 1h buff. I spoke to a friend of mine about it, he said for him there is no change. I asked him to make me a pizza using the same ingredients. He has higher hfc and used better ql ingredients and his pizza is 69 ql but it gives 17 hours buff from the first bite. I am adding some screenshots of the ingredients i used. I mention my hfc skill is now 60. Ingredients part 1 Ingredients part 2 Right now i have 2 identical pizzas in my larder, one that is 41.05ql, has 50% damage and gives me 2h(used to be over 5h before it got the damage) ming logic buff and that is 45.70ql, has no damage and gives me 50 min mind logic buff, both made by me using exactly the same ingredients, one before and one after the change.

Posted March 4, 2018 A cook in our alliance asks if you used dough or any of your herbs from a fsb/crate? Fresh herbs and fresh dough are considered "Complex" and you will get a longer timer using fresh ingredients over ones that have been pulled out of a fsb/crate. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) Ok, i tested against my friend. We both used the exact same 30 ingredients on a pizza, same ql, same setup, same oven, same ql baking stones, only difference was who put the ingredients on the baking stone. His gave 10h on the 1st bite, mine gave 1h. It's clear now that my toon is somehow bugged. Help pls! Edited March 8, 2018 by Darkstorm 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 9, 2018 I have same problem. My old meals gave me 4-5h, now (same recipe) 30-40min! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) I cooked the following with 97.88 HFC : 1h47m affi from first bite, 40ql meal. Pepejot cooked the below: https://imgur.com/4Lm1Wjj 38 minutes affi at 99.39 HFC Timers are the same for both toons so if I eat his 95.57ql meal, it gives me only 38 minutes affinity so it's not the toon that's affected, it's the product itself. Essentially; when his toon cooks anything with higher skill and higher ingredients, it gives much lower affinity timer than my toon does with rubbish ingredients and lower HFC to anyone eating the meal. Bug acknowledgement please? Edited March 16, 2018 by Locath 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 18, 2018 https://imgur.com/a/sW5Kv I made with this meal on campfire, and he gave me 2h30m affi. Maybe ovens and forges is bugged? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 19, 2018 Reason for this is chopped veges and herbs from FSB as @Ohana said. I always chop when I do the cooking. Pepejot has them chopped in FSB. After chopping the ingredients without putting them in to FSB, straight into the pan, timers are back to normal. Issue seems to be with FSB, this didn't happen before. Fresh vs FSB stored might have been different, never used ingredients with "fresh" tag but chopped and stored in FSB used to work fine until recently. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 20, 2018 Fresh herbs ones are better by design. So if you want longer timers you will need to pick and use your herbs while fresh and don't use ones that have been in a fsb/crate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 20, 2018 @Ohana: as I said, I know about that part. What has changed recently is that chopped ingredients out of FSB ruin the affinity timer. Until recently stored chopped ingredients worked fine. Something has changed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just cooked a pizza, all used ingredients i chopped in my inventory (they were not fresh), i got 7h buff from a ql 50.71, 10.60kg pizza. Test to see if all fsbs are bugged or just some is pending, I will create a new fsb, chop the things and put them into the fsb before cooking, see what i get. Now, if a gm would acknowledge the bug and try to fix it, that would be great Edited March 27, 2018 by Darkstorm 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 8, 2019 bumped, an important one for those Wurmians who want to pre chop their veggies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 27, 2023 Bump, just ran into this issue for the first time in 3 yrs of playing. Recently large pantries have been added so maybe if this was fixed then it resurfaced with the new pantries Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
