Pretty sure it's on purpose, kiln and smelter is a nice bonus to help you progress, losing food buffs would make sleeping detrimental.

I just wish the kiln and smelter were quiet while i'm sleeping.....

Food system is getting a rework in the first Major Update Hearth n Home.
They haven't gone into heavy detail on how so its a wait and see situation.

That said, i kind of like that food doesn't continue on a timer when you sleep.
Its a huge saving grace for when you're a fresh spawn.

Try living near a pig spawner, every few mins OIIIIIIINK plonk hahaha

I'm glad food carries over to the next day. Sometimes you gotta eat right before sleeping, like if your base gets invaded, or maybe you have a long run to get home and need lots of stamina. Also glad potions carry over, at least the freezing protection does iirc.

I am glad as well. I was just wondering if it was intentional or an oversight is all.

I noticed that as well. I actually stressed about eating food beforehand by instinct and realizing it will be all gone in the morning but alas, all was well.

Yes it is very good that way honestly. Does not bother me at all. Good food takes a bit of work and it being wasted while I sleep would really irritate me.

Honestly it feels like the devs took all the best aspects of these systems and implemented them properly. One of the reasons I like the game so much as it is player friendly.

Honestly, even with the more complex, and costlier food, it would be no exagerated stress on the player if the character had to breakfeast on every morning. So natural to break the feast.
