Cataclysm-dda: Crafting Pesto is actually useless

Created on 8 Oct 2018  路  3Comments  路  Source: CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA

Describe the bug
Crafting "Pesto" as ingredient for "Spaghetti al Pesto" is a waste of ingredients and time, and Pesto has no other uses other than making spaghetti/pizza

Expected behavior
Either it should be cheaper to make the pesto or the alternative of substituting it should be much higher

Yeah, one portion of pesto for 5 Italian seasoning + everything else, vs just using the 5 Italian seasoning is pointless. Salt is cheap, but cooking oil and pine nuts are uncommon.

Maybe the pesto recipe should produce more than one portion? I think four portions would make it worthwhile, especially if you were low on Italian seasoning -- then it would be 1 cooking oil, 1 pine nuts, 5 Italian Seasoning, and 5 salt vs 20 Italian seasoning for the same four batches of Spaghetti/Pizza.

yes, and maybe make portions smaller, to fit the volume of the ingredients used as components

i will address this in #27289
