the meats themselves are not particularly out of whack, it simply seems that way to clueless retards since metal and thus meat is the first widely available "purity" food, for people who have never had purity food or broken beyond low/medium range character status this seems like a "big deal" because they just boosted their ****** character a large percentage of its previous value. down the road when crops are as a rule also above 80% there will be a host of new foods that are chosen to be "overpowered" because some little ******** does not want to mass produce them and does not like the idea that someone else is either so he will make a thread ***** about it in an effort to slow progress across the board so he gets left behind just a little bit slower. you know, exactly like what happened here.
Now now my ineptitude as a player is not what this thread is about XD There are plenty of other threads for that.
I'd be happy to keep mass producing smoked meats tbh, I just don't think it's what JC had in mind is all. But hey, if that's how he wants us to bile up our characters, then by all means, let's glutton on.
