I totally see your Point, for me its just the Fact, that you have to grind for hours to get an item, that you throw away almost right after you got it. Its like: “Phew nice, now i have enough Sacks to store my Sugar in, lets make the Sugar.” 2 hours Later “Nice now i got the Sugar i needed for my Cake Party, lets cook” and while you cook you just throw away the Sacks? You need them in the Cake itself? You eat it as Snack while cooking? It just makes no Sense to me xDD
It would be nice if you get out the Cake and about half the amount of Sacks you had as ingredients or “Sugar Crustad Sacks” or some “Used Sacks” you can use again, to just makes more Sense
