  1. In the game, it is impossible to take small portions from large food stacks. When I issue this command, my character either freezes and waits or simply places the items into the inventory.
  2. Similarly, placing food into the refrigerator is a significant issue; the character generally ignores the given command. The command to place food in the refrigerator only works occasionally, provided that the food is already in the character’s hand.
  3. To clarify, large food stacks are highly bugged, making it nearly impossible to interact with them in any way. The character merely prepares the food and places it on the table; beyond being able to take it into the inventory under these faulty commands, that is the extent of the interaction.

For me the “eat a piece” interaction works.

For “Store in the fridge” the problem is that it cannot be queued more than once.

You have to wait for the action of putting it in the fridge to finish and then click on the new piece.

It would be useful to have an option that allows us to put all the dishes on the table in the fridge in a single action.

Something is wrong with large portions of food. I also experience problems from time to time, like the ones that Arda_Emre_Almaz writes about. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. A few times I’ve lost large bowls of food because they got stuck in my inventory and couldn’t be used, only removed. It feels like it broke after one of the recent updates, but I can’t remember which one.

And also Zois do not seem to register there’s a bowl/stack of food lying on the table/counter.
They ignore it and eat from the fridge/ramen machine instead.
If they grab it out of the fridge and set it on the table, then then don’t grab a bite from it and go to the fridge again to cook something else or eat a premade/instant meal.
