Let's talk Sugar!

Hey there, first off: Great game. I am addicted, as many of us are lol

So, Sugar. I suggest that Sugar stacks be increased from 10 to at least 100. One reason is that while making Berry Jam in a cooking stove, in order to make a full stack you need 30 berries, and 30 sugar. But you cannot fit more than 40 ingredients total. Also, it's such a space sink in your inventory. It's ironic while farming sand and sugar that sand can stack to 250 but Sugar stops at 10.

Regarding freshness, Sugar keeps indefinitely. It's shelf-stable, so it shouldn't really degrade over time in my opinion. Also, you should never put sugar in a fridge as it turns it into a clumpy mess when in a moist environment.

But I suppose I'm talking refined Sugar, which is what it's image appears to be, and not Sugar straight from the Cane - so maybe if it's raw Cane Sugar then it is subject to rot but maybe introduce a second refining step in order to make it into the Sugar that we all use every day?

Anyhow, just my $0.02 :)

Thanks for making a fun game!

Ultum

+1 for this as well.  I skip the jam stage simply because of sugar.
