more food achievements!! improvement of food mechanics

collecting different dishes is possibly one of my favourite small activities in the game, and they always add so many! hovewer lack of any sort of new achievements based on new recepies dissapoints, because so many things can be done with it. it would be nice to have achievements for collecting or cooking a certain amount of a certain type of dishes, finding secret recepies, etc. or for example, what’s the point of achieving food proficiencies of so many new dishes if you already have a trusty few from the start of the game that you always cook without even looking? achievements would solve this problem. it would be cool to have them in regional achievement stack, something along the lines of “achieve cooking proficiency of 5/10 dishes fron region x”, “collect x amont of recepies from region x”. same goes for collecting special dishes. in general cooking is a pretty underutilized mechanic, remember the small event where we could cook for characters in our teapots? that as a permanent mechanic would also be fun. special dishes from certain characters could trigger a special dialogue in other characters, etc. also an ability to favourite dishes and a few other sorting systems for them?

I like your ideas, especially from a roleplay perspective. I think it'd be challenging to implement, because once solid shielding and healing characters became more accessible, the use of food beyond minor last-ditch optimizations seemed to drop off. I also think MiHoYo has made a concerted effort to use them almost exclusively as trivial plot points as opposed to proper mechanical assistance, at this stage.

As a fan of survival games, I'd be open to optional (key word, not everyone would want it) survival mechanics for roleplay purposes, including eating, drinking, resting, or injuries, but I understand that MiHoYo is cautious to avoid muddying their existing game mechanics pools.

Well, outside of combat niche mechanics- they're hardcore about that recently.

Absolutely agree! I love getting new recipes and making all the foods in the game, recently went through and made the different versions for all of em, so 1 suspicious, 1 regular, and delicious versions! My inventory now hates me 🥲

HoYo should add a 4 and 5 star recipes for heath recovery type foods. A 4 star revive recipe should revive a character to half health. A 5 star revive recipe should revive a character to full health. A 5 star recipe for adding health should give a character more health than a full health bar for a set amount of time and it completely fills up a character.

I agree! I absolutely loved the teapot cooking event. I’m 3 recipes away from having every single obtainable recipe in game, and it’s from the gourmet supremos quest… Good luck to me getting that one commission while I cook in the meantime…
