Doh forget to mention on twitch, if food we make from crafting is necessary?

For example I just can buy potions to heal up or just use the food that I have looted. So what's the point of crafting food, will it increase stats for a short time or will we have a hunger feature like from Ultima 7?

I would like an hunger feature but without day\night cycle I don't see the hunger feature should be added but it will bring more immersion to the game, such as your character is to weak to battle the stats will drop, low action points or so on. Though I know how easily players can get frustrated from this but wondering why the developers add allot of effort for crafting food (flour, water, dough, bread)?

I just hope allot of our suggestions can be modded, also it will be my first time to try to use an "Editor" when it's out, can't wait and hope it's easy to understand.
