How Food Recipes Work

[Thor]

Good to see you're still updating this.

Yeah, thanks a lot for this! I've been trying to figure out the whole gluttony system and it's nice to see the math. For the first few days I played I just worked on proficiency and skills, my humors are sorely neglected. Back to hiding!

I've got these to share.
Out of interest, how did you get the corn matrices? I didn't find any recipe where I could succesfully extract the matrices My method for calculating the matrices (matlab code) is:

Code: Select all

%assume: you have two different types of food with known base matrices,
% and for each type of food you have one with only one modifier, the
% unknown.
%the modifier matrix is then gotten through:
modifier = (base1 + base2) \ (modified1 + modified2);

where that backslash operator works as

Code: Select all

X = A\B is the solution to the equation A*X = B

Food base matrices

Thank you, I will add the Colewort matrix to the list. The food base matrices should all match the original food values.
I found that many of the food items could not easily and completely be solved using a program such as yours so I broke the matrices down into a series of equations and solved as much of each set of equations as possible, with corn this is very easy because so many of the base matrices have a lot of 0s, but this is also the reason that the corn matrices are incomplete.

Ummm, If i was to understand this a tad more, this doesnt seem to be that difficult to create a webpage that lets you select stuff and press a button to spit out the results ....

did anyone create something like this yet? Anyone make a spreadsheet that does this .. i guess you can do that also ..

[Thor]

I do remember someone starting to make that kind of program a while ago.

[DarkNacht]

There is a program posted on the forums, but it only handles recipes with one variable ingredient and the text file with the data in it is missing a lot of values and has some incorrect values. If anyone wants to make a program or site that spits out results for the recipes, I would be glad to post it on the original post.

The Tribe would also be interested in somebody making this program.

Wild Garlic added and Gold corn fixed thanks to Tammer.

Cool thanks for keeping up with this it has been a big help.
