To prepare more wholesome meals, you need to craft yourself a clay pot using the [[Clay_Forming|clay forming]] mechanic. Once you have a burned claypot, place it into the fire pit input slot (left) and you are ready to cook some meals.  
To prepare more wholesome meals, craft a claypot using the [[Clay_Forming|clay forming]] mechanic. Once a player has a burned claypot, place it into the fire pit input slot (left) to cook some meals.  


There are 5 types of meals. The meal type you create is determined by which two "required" ingredients are placed into the claypot. To create one serving of any meal, place one of each required item into two separate claypot slots (this defines the meal type). For example, a porridge requires "two grain", so you must add two individual pieces of grain in two separate claypot slots. However, you don't have to put the grain in the "first two slots" of the claypot to create a porridge, though placing two grain in one slot of the claypot will not create a porridge. Adding "optional" ingredients in the other two input slots of the claypot will increase the nutrition value and satiation of the meal depending on which items you choose to add. When you have created a valid meal recipe by combining correct ingredients, a message will appear in the claypot dialog box informing you of what you will create when you cook your meal.

The claypot allows you to cook up to 6 servings of any meal at a time. To cook multiple servings of a meal, increase the number of ingredient items added to all slots equally. If you are trying to create multiple servings and you do not increase all the items in the input slots by the same amount, your food will not cook!
