There are far too many people with [insert food/potion here] who have a stack but forget to use them. Or if they remember, they use it once, then it expires in 30 minutes and they forget to refresh. Food and potion durations should stack up to 5 times (at least) so people can pop a few of them at a time. To those who say that it’s unrealistic to eat multiple meals at a time, it’s also unrealistic to constantly eat Peach Pies and Omnomberry Bars. Convenience > realism.

we’ve all seen what happens in games where there’s no disadvantage to taking your pants off.

That would make current 1h foods pointless.

I always forget food buffs. Out of sight in my inventory, out of mind.

We need to be able to right-click a food item (stack of food items) in our Inventory and select the option “Make Shortcut on Desktop”. Then it would put a single inventory square down near your skill bar; a duplicate of that spot in your inventory. Perhaps the food buff time remaining icon could go above it as well.

It would not make long duration foods pointless. If you have five stacks of 30m food you get a maximum of 2.5 hours without refreshing. With 1h food you get 5 hours to refresh. People who can afford the convenience will buy 1h food and people who can’t will refresh a little more often. The 1h foods will still be useful to those who need them, and it will be easier to maintain 30m foods without forgetting to refresh.

Food is a crutch.

Please stay on topic. Food is a buff just like your trinkets. Should food be made more convenient by allowing it to stack duration or not?
