Hi I eat food a lot in the game for some passive buffs.
One of the worst buffs you can get from food is the cold buff. It literally drops your body temperature to freezing. This is crippling , as you'd be in a normal temperature room but you're forced to crawling speed. It has no real benefits (maybe some niche benefit of combining cyro meds, but this is dubious), and is a very common buff in food, particularly the humble cake and a number of botany's fruits. Which sucks ass, as the chef could be putting serious effort (another dubious claim, but w/e) into cooking, only for it to be ignored.
Instead, the obvious solution is for it to act as cold armor, increasing your cold resistance by a certain factor (10% sounds minor & fair). This would flip this buff from terrible to quite useful.
Additionally, the hot buff could do something similar, acting as a heat armor, increasing your fire resistance by a certain factor (again, 10% sounds minor and fair).
That is all. Please change.
Ninja edit: I understand that there may be reaction that i'm approaching this incorrectly, and that I should be eating hot food to fight coldness, and cold food to fight hotness - but my gripe is simply that the implementation of the temperature change does not translate well into a "buff" and is counter-intuitive. It effectively does more harm than good.
