One thing in particular that bugs me about the game is the cooking system. All the other item crafting in the game takes a set amount of time to create the items, but when it comes to making the food, it's instant. There is no time involved in making food and there should be. I would attempt to do this myself if I had any knowledge or experience with modding, but I don't. I don't even know where to begin really. So if any of the experienced modders out there who might be willing to create a mod to do this it would be awesome
Yes. I forgot about the fact that CA uses the word crafting in reference to building the machines to make stuff. But yes, the creation of food should not be instant. I know it could be done with a completely seperate stove or other cooking devices, but that just means even more machines/devices to add into the game (which I really would rather not do) or the vanilla foods could be added to one of the other many machines/devices that have already been made. That is a possibility and I don't think it's been done. It just means that the stove in the kitchen becomes completely useless and irrelevant, which is not the purpose of the suggestion. I think it is odd to have 2 stoves in the kitchen.
