Talent Perks - Recipe Gating
While I understand the logic with Update 13's new progression system, I'm still forming an opinion on it overall. But my only real complaint, after some of the initial shock to change, is gating entire recipes behind exclusive Talent Perk choices. And Campfire Cooking, with its choice between turning Scrap Meat into Tallow and being able to make Campfire Roasts AT ALL, is such a huge example of this. Small population servers might only have 1 chef. Most servers tend to have heavy attrition, especially amongst chefs where competition becomes fiercer. Alternate recipes? Difficult choices between some categories being harder or easier to make? All of that's totally fine. But please do not gate an entire recipe's existence behind choices like this, especially when those choices A) cost a Star, even if they do come faster; and B) cannot be changed if the economy adjusts or people quit the server.
