Cutting fish in half

[UTC-10]

I would like the capacity to cut fish in half, assumed to be cooked fish.  The smaller white fish and river trout would not be a problem but the large bass and salmon can easily have more than 1k or 2k calories.  

Now why would I want to cut a fish in half?

I figured out why I seemed to be eating cooked fish and ending up with a remaining piece that was smaller than expected (or nothing at all).  I want to stop having to practically starve myself to get the maximum calorie benefit or sacrificing calories because I was not that hungry.

 

I finally figured out just what was happening.  If the large cooked fish could be cut in half, the wastage of fish would go down.  😁

tl;dr If your cooked fish disappears to a greater extent than expected when consumed, this would be one reason.

[Example] 

Conditions: Level 5 cooking (+25% calories over base)

                        Calories    Weight (kg)   Cal/kg
Coho salmon    1,370         2.41            568.5

Hunger                 850

Coho salmon      245        0.54             453.7

There should have been 520 calories remaining in a piece weighing 0.92 kg.

Base Rate equals 453.7 cal/kg (assume level 1 cooking).
Level 5 rate equals 568.5 cal/kg (+25% over base rate).

There will be math...

What happened was that the 850 calories consumed was converted to kg of salmon using base rate of 453.7 cal/kg or 1.87 kg of fish.  

2.41 kg minus 1.87 kg equals 0.54 kg.

Game now shows the remaining 0.54 kg of salmon using the base rate of 453.7 to arrive at a calorie content of 245 calories. If it showed that 0.54 kg piece at Level 5 rate of 568.5 cal/kg then the piece would have had 307 calories.

If the game used calories to measure how much salmon was consumed there should have been a 0.92 kg piece with 520 calorie content.  

There I did it.  I can relax now.

I am not sure I fully understand, but I think you're saying the weights don't match up. It's possible the game may have the fish weight as ((calories * 0.001) + waste weight)

Or it could be bugged, the game is still in early access so expect things to not work properly.

TLD is still Early Access? Wow.

It's not news? They've not finished making the game.
