Meal Recipes and workAmount vs. WorkToMake

[The-Eroks]

So I did search for what the difference was between the workAmount and WorkToMake stats... I think I have an understanding of the difference (maybe).

WorkToMake is used with statBases to determine how much effort an item requires. A recipe would use the target item's WorkToMake. All of the standard meals use this stat and their recipes don't change anything. In theory, I could make a super kitchen that produced meals at a higher rate, and it would be faster because the WorkToMake doesn't change.

However, the simple meal at the camp fire recipe uses (adds?) WorkAmount. Why is that? Is there a more subtle relationship between WorkAmount and WorkToMake (instead of the difference, how are they complementary?)

My guess is that WorkAmount in a recipe overrides WorkToMake in the item?

Thanks

Oh I've spotted this myself too. And I'm willing to find out if someone got an answer
