can confirm
but it only happens if you use the new introduced juniper berries

can also confirm. I believe it is an issue with the juniper berries as well.

Have not tested with rice or some other t5 main ingredient.

If you look at the Juniper Berry item the tier icon shows as a Tier 3 item, but look at the description and it calls it a Tier 5 food item.

When I tried to make 30 hearty meals last night using Juniper “Tier 5” berries as the first ingredient in the recipe, it yielded 30+ light meals instead and ate all the ingredients I put in.

Happened to me several times as well.

same happend to me - using other tier V incrediences worked fine

here a screenshot of the failed combine result:

I’ll also make a note regarding the Juniper Berries, as it seems this may be the cause.

I can all but promise they are the cause. This only happens when Juniper Berries are selected as a T5 ingredient for the meal.

This is still verified to happen, when using juniper berries as tier 5. I used other mats and got the intended food, with juniper I got light meal instead…

[GearCat]

Juniper berries are a TIER 3 FOOD… the bug is that it allows you to slot them as Tier 5, but they are tier 3.

So if you go to make a hearty meal, and pick the Tier 5 food item and choose Juniper berries, you get a light meal. If you actually choose a real Tier V item, then choose juniper berries later down the chain, it works fine

Can confirm, it’s still an issue.

Juniper berries are a “Tier III” ingredient, but are able to be used in Tier V food, as per this screenshot:

Juniper Berry

While e.g. “Hearty Meal” is selected in the kitchen, using Juniper berries will instantly convert any food to Tier III, while also using up all of the Slots used to craft Tier V food, as seen here:

Crafting preview

So, while using Juniper berries, you can only get “Light Meals”, however you get the same amount of EXP, as if you would be crafting the Tier V Meal:

EXP

So people reading this thread: Watch out what the crafting preview shows you! If you are still not sure, craft only one item at a time and double check

Have a great day in Aeternum!
