I was thinking if you could hand sample food/drink when you use it. We get rates like on Mustafar. But it only goes to the creature resources. Since chefs and BE need stuff for components that would help manufacturing more stuff.

Can take an old food or drink we don’t use and rework it. Also have great idea on ways to get the schematic.

Cube recipe added with glowie items.
I know we have food/drinks not that great can use an increase or adjustment.

Simple sampling increase icon would work.

Playing to your great points,
add to some of the existing food/ drinks:

some increase to creature knowledge
increase to dna collection

chance of improved enzyme manipulation
subtle increase to chance of mutation

• any chance of improved mutation would really need to be subtle lest they lose too much of their rarity

///
slight shipwright parts RE improvement via food/ drink

///
a food/drink that provides a temporary buff when placing factories?
and for harvester placement (ie a supplement entertainer harvest faire)

You can even make a Spice too.

But for the space RE is it set for the percentage of bonus? I did a good amount of on the same lvl items always same percentage is that a lock one per lvl.

space RE improves end product by an established bonus, rather than a range. I believe that to be up to a 7% improvement to the best stat for each category of a group of parts. If any food improvement were to be permitted, I realize it might only be a percentage or 2, tops.... even with that, I'd still sure as heck get that food and or drink when running RE batches

Thanks so much for sharing your ideas! It's clear you've put a lot of thought into this, and we really appreciate it.

Adding a sampling effect tied to food and drink is a very interesting concept, and you're absolutely right there are several older food and drink items that could use some love to become more relevant in the current game state. Updating these could not only breathe new life into underused items but also help support crafting professions like Chef and Bio-Engineer in a meaningful way.

That said, a task like this is no small undertaking. Reworking food and drink mechanics involves balance considerations, especially in areas of the game that currently don’t benefit much (or at all) from food/drink buffs. Ensuring we don’t over or under tune these changes is a key part of the process.

If you’re up for it, we’d love to see a list of existing food items you think need updates. Include the current stats for each and what you’d propose they be changed to. That kind of clear feedback would be incredibly helpful and could serve as a solid foundation for development to evaluate and potentially move forward with.

Thanks again for your passion and creativity keep the suggestions coming!

Felbar- mind food- increase loot chance drop. (If can be done) or prevent action drain.

T'illa T'ill-stomach filling- Change to punishing blow reduction

Ithorian Mist-Defense vs Dizzy- Change it to resource cap improve 10% for crafting.

Elshandruu Pica Thundercloud- range defense- just add stamina 50 and agility 65

Love this idea!

These are some excellent suggestions and could go a long way towards revitalizing the chef profession
