PC Bugged or intended?

You could compensate by making honey drop more often but I don't think we want to see people with dozens of stacks of honey just because the loot chance is raised and they loot kitchens (or any cabinets)  regularly.

Honey already is a food item. People won't just bunker it - they would eat the excess.

And currently the cakes and pies don't have sugar as ingredient - honey would fit perfectly.

If used as an ingredient in cooked food, that would work well. Though it would probably be better to have it as an ingredient in better food than just called and pies.  At least for me, I'm past those so quickly that I almost never even bother making them unless I'm trying to get rid of pumpkins or blueberries.  Even so, it would help.

But as just food to eat without also being an ingredient... I think it would stack up in storage.  I don't many people are eating pears and such after they are able to keep up with cooking good food.  So it would be the same for honey.

Cakes and pies are the natural choice because they are already in the game and currently lack the main sugar ingredient for unknown reasons. But there are more recipes with honey - you can even improve your BBQ with it or make a dessert from eggs and honey.

The existing recipes could also get a boost when the honey ingredient is added to them. It is sad that there is a "best" food item in this game. There really shouldn't be. I wish, that they bring a modernized version of wellness back (no punishment spiral, humble bonuses only).

I am not a chef and never cook myself in the meatspace. But you can do tons of dishes with basically any ingredient. There definitely is no lack of potential here and we might see mods turning 7D2D into a cooking simulator after it finally released.

Yes, i do eat lesser foods even when having a pile of spaghetti. If i loot some grilled meat, i just eat it instead of throwing it away. Or i put it for very cheap into my shop (i play solo on PvE servers), so noobs can eat it. After i got my farm going there just is no point in hoarding lesser foods in a box as i will never need it.

Me and my partner are testing out the new Alpha 21 update (which is amazing btw) but we have come across an issue. We are now half way thru day 4 so 4 hours in and got infected. We have now looted multiple pop n pills and med cabinets but not found a single Antibiotic and not enough honey to cure infection. Crafting antibiotics takes 60 med books so its not like you can do that early game.
Is this intended, a bug or are we getting just very very unlucky?

RnGeezus be with you!

Let us pray.

Or go find a wilderness PoI, like the hunt camps.  The stumps around it and guaranteed honey for the most part.

In case you aren't yet aware, A21 no longer gives you bonus to honey in stumps when the stumps are on a POI.  It's the same chance no matter where the stump is located.  The only benefit from POI stumps is that there are often multiple stumps in a small area.  Honey Bee has something like 6 of them on the POI, though that was is in town.  Journeys End is in the wilderness and has a bunch as well.

No, not really aware, but In my first play through blew by one on the way to town on the second day, and BAM!

RnGeezus be with me, on that one, I guess.
