Back on the topic of Eggs and Milk, 2 hours of polling has come with the result of only using milk. We shall use these results for the next step, which is the stats.

Having established that we are only using milk for our cake, and not eggs, the next step is to come to a reasonable conclusion about what the numbers should be. The problem is deciding how much milk is worth, and adding that onto pie, along with the higher cooking level.

The two recipes that contain milk are glasses of milk and mozzarella. As glasses of milk are a thirst based product, and are a much more primitive food, we should base the value of the milk on the mozzarella. One of the most important things that should be noted is that mozzarella takes 10 minutes to prepare using a cheese bin, and cake does not have this long wait. Therefore the value of milk in the recipe must be smaller than the mozzarella. If one was to half the value of the mozzarella, you would get 80 hunger, which when added to an apple pie (to get apple cake) gets 260 hunger. This is a lot compared to most foods, and even outdoes the mighty (and removed) beef stew. As this is just a cake, and does not require any iron tools to create, the figure should be reduced.

By halving the value of the milk yet again, you get a value of 40 hunger. This gives 220 hunger for the apple cake, (a reasonable amount considering the time it takes to get to such a cooking level), and 190 for the berry cake, slightly less than a bugshark. This is a good amount of hunger and food restored, and balanced with the high cooking level. This also means that the best food in the game is now a cake, which in my opinion is a good food to have at the top. (It is also vegetarian friendly)

However, this is just my opinion. If you feel that the cakes should be more or less restorative, express your opinion in the poll, and leave a comment saying why you think this. How much should the Cakes restore? 280-250 260-230 240-210 220-190 200-170 180-150 (no boost from pies)

EDIT: The poll now reads 3-3. If the "Milk and Eggs" side overtakes the "Just Milk" option, I will write another text wall on the new stats for eggs and milk.

SECOND EDIT: The "Milk And Eggs" has now overtaken the "Just Milk". However, as the people who polled "Milk And Egg" have also polled the same stats as the "Just Milk" people, I will save the effort of writing another text wall, and keep the old stats. The recipe will still be changed.
