Breaking kitchen tools

Why is it that even though kitchen tools take forever to break we now have cards to make them last longer?
It still takes about 80 uses to break a tool!
Just wondering if the behaviour could be changed to the quantity of good made breaks the tool (ie 80 awesome stews break the pot versus hitting make 80 times before the pot breaks).
It seems all my other tools now wear faster then before (which is cool and makes them all about equal), but cooking tools are just to strong!

Thanks :)

  • Once you get the badge, the extended wear is fine.

  • So I can buy the card and it doesn't kick in until I have the badge?

  • No, it kicks in right away. It'll make it harder to get the badge. (Which is why you want to wait with buying those kitchen tool upgrades till you have all the kitchen tool repair badges.)

  • I have yet to earn  "Break 23" kitchen tool badge (let alone "Break 251), so I am resisting buying the upgrades. I sure wish that the achievements were based upon "units of wear" like other tools.

  • they should have a card to break kitchen tools faster which you could then counter act with a card to make them stronger when you're done the badge

  • I agree with the "unit of wear" idea, plus making the tools just like the smelter which breaks after an amount of use versus times used.

  • Grey Goose, I use the skillet and make fried eggs one at a time. All you need is salt and eggs and around 65 eggs you break again.

  • Thanks for suggestion, Gruff! I best get going on it because I'm really tired of getting the upgrade cards over and over again....LOL

    h-m-m-m. I wonder if unlearning Easy Cooking would remove those upgrade cards from my deck.
