I don't ever post but as a provisioner I think this is the right idea. Think about it this way, go home and make some koolaid. Then go and make some pasta. Look at what you made. Yes you could drink that over the course of time, but you just made a meal for atleast 2 people if not more. This is only an example but after crafting 5 hours last night and only getting a hand full of things made it helped me realize that this is an issue.
Also I made some antonican coffee and went to sell it on the broker. I was thinking 5sp for coffee and then I thought I wouldn't pay that. I set it at 3sp. Then I thought, well maybe I should see what others are selling it for. 23sp... hmmm I still kept mine at 3sp but I think being able to provide a market with goods will bring the price down and the only way to do that is let people make multiples.
Folks this is a consumable product, everyone needs and everyone uses and goes away. There is always a demand. Lets help the adventurers and give multis. There is a difference between us and alchemist (I have an alchemist as well). alchemist only supply tradesfolk. Provisioners supply everyone..... yep everyone. The demand is easy trippled if not more.
