Hmmm, I ordered (some years ago) one industrial machine from USA, it was purely meaning to use only skilled professional... It takes me seweral hours to unpack it and remove those warning labels... i stop counting after fifty.... And after some yers i ordered samekind from China, there are only one warning labell "please read the manual first"

I fully agree that safety rules and regulations for trained adults doing even the most mildly hazardous jobs have gotten completely out of control. When I started working in labs, virtually all pipetting was done by mouth. Just like drinking through a straw, except you put your finger over the top opening and transfer the liquid to a test tube. But occasionally, people did get the liquid into their mouth, so all mouth pipetting was banned, and for several years there was no accurate pipetting done with the various rubber bulbs we now had to use--think foot-long eyedropper. Eventually accurate pipetting devices were developed, but they are expensive, and use thousands of plastic tips, which end up in landfills. That was the first. Rules for everything have followed. It is now about ten times harder to do an experiment than it was when I started, and somewhat safer, or much safer for an untrained idiot. But we never have untrained idiots in the lab. But the safety people have to keep putting more rules in place, or they can't prove their job is necessary, and they will be fired. Meanwhile, science in the US goes downhill.

+1 This is true and this is happening globally.. IMO when there are just one untrained idiot in team or most commonly incompetent safety person or politician nearby...things can only get worst :/

Okie Dokie!

Sorry, this one went out of control, im bad

So i suggest; I like to see another end of Dissallowed substance guest - you help chef for some minor quest like bring me this and that.. And in future he prepared your foods to something bete. Samekind prosess like that one innear to iqhan cave where you can change some claws...

Any comments ?

I'm all for cooking [if using game control].. I would be opposed to cooking in wild if it didn't have some kind of controlling mechanic. Several ways to impose a game mechanic.. either by using NPC, as suggested above, or maybe by introducing an item ::cough:: like a torch or something. Then the fire lasts only long enough to cook 5 meats [and the cost of proposed item handles the desire to cook constantly ] at certain designated area(s). There could be a combination where NPC sells item after quests and hints toward its multiple uses even. ::
