Food values

The multiplier for prepared food seems to have been heavily reduced. My full pots of food are only worth an average of about 50 DB at the caravan.unsigned comment by DracMonster

What version? In v0.40.02, prepared meals no longer receive a top-level quality modifier. That can significantly affect the value of biscuits prepared with low-value ingredients (>75% reduction is possible), but isn't really significant for lavish meals with good ingredients (roughly 12% reduction). 50 is exceptionally low--even a no-quality stack of 5 lavish meals with cheap ingredients is worth 90. Perhaps your broker is underestimating the values?--Loci (talk) 00:12, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
I was mistaken. Prepared meals can still have a top-level quality modifier, and the resulting value calculations appear equivalent to v0.34.--Loci (talk) 00:42, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
These are pots full of lavish meals. Maybe it is my broker, but I've never seen them valued this low even with a no-skill broker, so I still kinda think there's been some other alteration to the formula. Considering how insane prepared food values could be, it wouldn't surprise me.
