Sauces only require half the energy that they say they do

I've started trying to make more complicated stuff in larger batches, so I've been paying more attention to the energy use, and I noticed that secret sauce and tangy sauce seem to actually use only about half the energy that it says they will when in the cooking interface - the interface said I would need 60 energy to make the 12 secret sauces, and 120 energy to make the 12 tangy sauces, but this is what actually happened:

(Is there a way to embed images here?)

I kind of remember the sweet and sour sauce requiring more energy, too, but I wasn't paying as close attention because it wouldn't have been an issue.

  • Hmmm- what is reflected in the local activity is what I am seeing in the Saucepan crafter interface for energy cost for those sauces when I try it.

  • Which one is the correct energy cost?  The low cost?  I know the tangy sauce said it would cost 120, because I didn't have that much, so I had to eat again before I could make it.  But then it only cost 60, which I definitely had before eating.

  • It has something to do with the skills in cooking you've learned. I think it's more likely that the lower cost is the correct energy cost. This used to happen to me too, though I thought they'd squashed this particular bug :p

  • Well, I don't know if it helps, but I screencapped the interface that shows the higher energy:

  • I've been experiencing this also while making the same two items.
