Cooking: Difference between revisions

At the start of the game, without any infrastructure, the player only has access to foraged or hunted food that can be eaten raw in order to maintain the player's [[Satiety]]. However, the player should not rely on these for overly long, as once harvested, naturally occuring foodstuffs are either gone for good, or require a long time to regrow.

===Claypot Cooking=== <!--T:26-->

Claypot cooking increases the food values of all ingredients used, and provides additional benefits and convenience. Cooked meals can be kept fresh for very long times in sealed crockpots; eating meals will outright halt satiety loss for a time; and the player will never waste any food from a meal when it provides more satiety than they need. Instead, they simply leave a partially-eaten serving that can be finished at a later time.

To begin, craft at least one bowl and one claypot using the [[Clay_Forming|clay forming]] mechanic, and fire them like all ceramics in a firepit. Placing the fired claypot into the fire pit input slot (upper left) will open up an additional four-slot inventory above the input slot, in which ingredients can be combined into one of the five available meal types. The meal type players create is determined by which two "required" ingredients are placed into the claypot first.

* '''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 a player must add two individual pieces of grain in any two input slots in the claypot. Placing two grain in one input 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 are added. When a valid meal recipe (combining correct ingredients) is placed into the input slots, a message will appear in the claypot dialog box informing players about what type of meal will be created after cooking.

* '''To store meals''': Four portions of any cooked meal can be stored in an empty crock. Place the pot onto the ground or table and right click the pot with an empty crock to transfer meals to the storage crock. Storage crocks may be sealed for long term storage using fat or wax in the crafting grid, Crocks may also be carried in player inventories, stored in stationary containers, and placed on shelves.

===Claypot Cooking Food Values=== <!--T:34-->

The satiation received from eating meals is equal to the sum of its parts. The ingredients added to create the meal determine how much satiation and which class of nutrition a player receives. In addition, the food values of most ingredients are increased via cooking, as shown in the table below. Only pickled ingredients remain unchanged, providing the same amount of value in a meal as they would when eaten individually.

| Soy Bean || 240 || Field vegetables* || 150 || Flax grain || 120 || Currants* || 120  

| Egg || 200 || Cassava || 120 || Rice grain || 280 || Blueberry or Pineapple slice || 120  

| Poultry, cured or fresh || 375 || Pumpkin slice || 180 || Rye or Spelt grain || 240 || Cranberry || 90   

| Redmeat, cured or fresh || 420 || Cabbage || 450 || Amaranth or Cassava grain || 240 || Saguaro fruit || 90

|  ||  || Mushrooms* (Bolete, Field, Fly agaric) || 120 || Sunflower grain || 240 || Honey || 80

* Ingredients not listed in this table cannot be used in meals. Pickled variants of listed ingredients can be used, but provide only their tooltip-listed food value, without gaining any bonus from claypot cooking.

* Field vegetables include carrots, parsnips, onions, turnips, and bell peppers.

* Ingredients that restore player health when eaten raw, such as saguaro fruits or honey, lose this benefit when cooked.<br />However, cooking a fly agaric mushroom does not remove its harmful effects - the meal will still damage the player!

 

Baking is an advanced cooking method that revolves around dough, the creation of which requires some setup. A [[Wooden_Bucket|wooden bucket]] and a [[quern]] must be available, both of which require metal tools to craft. Additionally, a [[Clayforming|clay oven]] should be set up for baking, as not all recipes can be baked in the firepit, and the results there are always subpar. Finally, a farm is required to consistently supply useful amounts of grain, as wild crops are nonrenewable, mature extremely slowly, and reset their growth after reaching maturity.

===Bread===<!--T:24-->

Put firewood into the clay oven and light it with a torch. After the fire has burned out, the oven will remain hot enough to bake (above 200°C) for quite a while. Up to four pieces of dough can be inserted at a time, and as much as four sets may be fully baked with the heat from a six-firewood preheating. The oven's temperature can be increased by firing it again, but it will never exceed 300°C.
