I have all the cooking skills, and noticed that when I make recipes at this level, I only use about 50% of the needed energy per the recipe. The problem is when I want to make lots of items, and I'm getting low on energy, it won't let me make all of them, even though I know I'll have enough energy since I'm only using 50%.
For example: I have 50 energy. I want to make Awesome Stews, which says it takes 18 energy. I try to make 4, which would only require 36 energy total...but it won't let me because it calculates based on the recipe and thinks it will require 72 energy...and I don't have enough. So now, I have to make 2 stews twice, vice just plugging in 4 for one session.
The energy expenditure on the recipe needs to reflect the actual energy expenditure for the skill level of the player. Thanks!
