Farming is a fundamental part of this game to increase prestige and get resources. Most creatures drop poor quality dragon food but the uses for it are very limited.
I propose an increase in the dragon feed upgrade limit during dragon events from the current 6 per food quality to possibly 30 to use more of the dragon food collected from farming.
Another option would be more uses for the dragon food in recipes to put the material to use instead of having a large amount of it that cannot be used.
