[2020] Food models

It’s intentional. There used to be separate in-hand art for different foodstuffs, but they were cut for performance. So it’s less a matter of being an “ancient” game than a matter of optimization.

That happened several alphas ago, and food items have had an overhaul since then. If we’re lucky, perhaps it’s close enough to a finished state that the developers could go back and redo them now in an efficient way. They haven’t announced any such plans though, to my knowledge.

But surely they update the food models eventually? Even if it was an after EA sorta thing. It would just just give the game that bit of polish and to be honest, the currents models do look like place holders

What we have now seems to serve its purpose. Again, I hope they'll do more art eventually, but if it's got to be one thing for everything, it seems to me the square of burlap is as good a model as anything else would be.
