What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
remove the link between the chef's NPCs and increase the restock timer for items the chef sells.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
It has and was accepted but was over ruled by NL for some reason Which confuses me as this suggestion is purely QOL improvement.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
This will let people who want to RP as chefs be able to buy items that are unavailable due to like 10 people all wanting to buy the same item through the server as each chef is linked to each other which makes no sense. for example, the dough is sold out and at least 3-4 people want to cook using dough. As soon as it restocks one person instantly buys it. the other 3 people must argue and wait for the next restock which can take up to 2 minutes to get one dough. when some recipes take multiple items. It gets worse as with the new EZ update they moved the kitchen location and made it look all nice and fancy however people are still unable to buy anything as they are linked.
It also stops people from starving to death because people always buy MREs and there are never MREs in stock, so this would also allow chefs to sell their food to help people from starving. This would also help stop the MRE “meta” in a sense where people only buy MRE’s and nothing else, as MRE’s are the best food for people who don’t want to cook. With the ability to cook it will allow the chefs to actually cook and sell food items that are a lot better then the MRE’s
another problem is when the server restarts the stock that could have had over 120 items is set back to zero. As an example, sugar has 120 in stock before the server restarts, and after it restarts it is back down to zero. we then must wait multiple hours for it to be back up to 120, assuming no one buys sugar. This problem still happens and is quite annoying, when the server must be manually restarted it screws everyone who is trying to cook as everything is brought back to zero. So, in that sense if everyone keeps buying instant foods, because MRE’s are bought out it screws the people who want to RP as chefs.
This will also allow people to level up their cooking and improve their knowledge of cooking on the server.
As well this will make the server more realistic, as it makes no logical sense to have them linked. Why does Goc or surface chefs buying food take out stock in d-block for example.
With the ability to cook and RP as chefs, this would also help the situations with people jumping on chefs to just minge around and screw with everyone
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
The only Negatives I can see is how long it will take the dev team to unlink everything and try and rework that system, besides that I see no negative possibilities with this suggestion.
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
As someone who cooks a lot on the server and has increased his cooking level to 18 currently. trying to cook with 5 people all buying the same things is hard. I once sat there for over three hours trying to buy 6 cheeses to make pizza. This is even more true now that newer people are getting on the server and trying to cook/roleplay as chefs, due to the new EZ update.
overall, I have seen many people try and get into cooking and I feel like sometimes they are put off because there is never any stock. Which actually happened a few days ago, a person who was brand new to the server was trying to cook however they were unable to due to everyone else buying the stock from the different chef NPCS.
I have put many hours into cooking and sometimes it just gets very annoying trying to cook many different things when everyone is buying the same thing. Another issue is trying to stock up on these items is hard because you must check if they are in stock before the server restarts. sometimes there is over 60 doughs in stock and if we don’t buy that 60 dough before restart, all of it is lost. With the removal of the double server restart this isn’t really affect me personally however it still does remove all the stock from the chefs which is hard for people who play around the time the server restarts.
As well, I have had multiple complaints that MRE’s are to OP or that they need to be reworked. But they wouldn’t need to be reworked if for example this would be in place and updated. This would allow us to replace the MRE meta with actual cooking and actual roleplay.
overall, I Feel like this would be an amazing change that will improve the QOL for people who want to RP as chefs. as well as maybe introduce people to the cooking on the server.
