Denied Food quality.. again

[AdamCF]

Made this suggestion a long time ago, but I still think it's needed

So, let's say a kind Rank Leader walks into your restaurant! He wants a pretzel and a donut. Very nice.
but wait! You're only Cooking Level 19! How will you please the Rank Leader now?

I come with a solution: Food quality!
By default, you will be able to cook most dishes regardless of your XP level. The most complex ones would be locked, but a solid 70% would be available. What your XP level does affect, however, is the quality of that food.

Every food item will have a quality value in its description, on a scale of... 1 to 10? This quality also affects how much hunger it fills, how extreme the attribute buffs are, how long they last, etc etc. This varies randomly slightly, but a level one chef (for example) would be able to make a pretzel at 1 or 2 quality consistently, maybe 3 if he's lucky.

This means that having a higher level when cooking means quite a bit more, and it creates some RP. Imagine a Ron Goodfella cooking competition, but it's not all based on random rolls.

but most of all, it means you can actually physically make complicated food without grinding, even if the food turns out a little shit. This was a big problem for me in the January launch and, although it's improved, I still see stores unable to sell basic foods because they're a level or two off.

The kind rank leader asks for a pretzel and a doughnut... however your cooking is really low and it's really bad, he gets angry its so bad and tries to hit you, but the doughnut was so bad he dies from poisoning ggrp

Nah but if its possible I do like that, it's a creative way of looking at some of the more RP restrictive factors of the cooking skill system, in my opinion. After all, it's not hard to follow a recipe in real life, but it can be hard following it well.

Sounds nice

If it's possible to code

And if it won't take too long to impliment

This is a big concern of mine, especially since my char is a chef.

Even after dumping every point into cooking, and attributes to boost it fully, I still can't make a simple donut.

This would be awesome, and people could actually tell if the food is freshly made or ordered from the terminal.
