I ended up fixing it all it was grass density. The other issue was a false positive by Norton gaming had to go in and approve it through the settings. Thank you for your advice I'll give that a shot as well. I wasn't trying to bash anything I was just concerned with it because I only recently started using itch.io but after some research and talking to a buddy of mine things are good I enjoy the game great work.
I guess Intelligence 3-4 should be enough, I usually set it to 6. But mostly survival/cooking result depends on how good you read the recipe. And if you miss some skill points then your result may lose some quality level. Here's one of the ready recipes. In this case to get the best quality you need 18 lvl of Survival.
