==Raw Edibles==

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 occurring foodstuffs are either gone for good, or require a long time to regrow.

The following table lists all the food items that can be eaten raw:

{| class="wikitable sortable"

|-

| Apples (any), blueberries, currants (any), mangoes, oranges,<br>peaches, pears, pomegranates, or pineapple slices || 80 || Fruit ||

|-

|-

| Mushroom (any) || 80 || Vegetable || Some mushroom types may be poisonous and deal damage upon consumption.

|-

| Milk (per 0.1 liter) || 15 || Dairy || Liquid.

|}

<div class="mw-translate-fuzzy">

=== Mushrooms ===

[[Mushrooms]] are special in that they may be beneficial or harmful to the player when ingested, and some of the harmful ones are very easily mistaken for safe ones.<br>

| Fly Agaric || -6.5 HP

| Gold-drop milkcap || -2.5 HP

| Jack'o'lantern mushroom || -6 HP

__TOC__

Current nutrition and satiety levels can be examined in the character dialog, mapped to 'C' by default.

===Nutrition===

Player nutrition includes four categories: Protein, vegetable, grain and fruit. As the nutrient bars fill, the player hp increases.  The player starts with 15 base health points that can be increased to 25 hp by consuming a balanced diet including all four nutrients. This is where more advanced meals are particularly useful because they allow players to create mixed nutrition meals (protein/vegetable, grain/vegetable, protein/grain, protein/fruit/vegetable etc...). Please be aware though, nutrition levels do not increase if food is consumed while completely satiated.

==== Bread Dough ====

# In the crafting grid, combine a bucket of water and flour to create dough. (one bucket of water creates 10 dough)

Advanced cooking techniques can greatly increase the food value of ingredients, and can potentially achieve several thousands of satiety points in a single food item. Additionally, it allows the player to make meals out of multiple ingredients, which can potentially supply multiple nutrition groups at he same time. Whenever possible, it is recommended that the player uses advanced cooking techniques.

===Cooking meals===

==== Baking ====

Place the dough into the input slot of the [[firepit]] and fuel the fire. (Each loaf of bread requires about one piece of firewood.) Both dough and bread loaves stack to 32.

Pickled variants of listed ingredients can be used, but provide only their tooltip-listed food value, without gaining any bonus from meals.

Ingredients not listed in this table cannot be used in cooking pot meals.

===Advanced Cooking Recipes===

¹ Field vegetables include carrots, parsnips, onions, turnips, and bell peppers.<br>

³ Ingredients that restore player health when eaten raw, such as saguaro fruit, lose this benefit when cooked. However, cooking a poisonous 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 [[quern]] must be available, which requires metal tools to craft. Additionally, a [[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. Plus, a [[Wooden Bucket]], a [[Jug]] or a [[Bowl]] is needed to be filled with water. 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.

Two foods can be baked at the moment: [[bread]] and [[pie]]. Both of them represent a significant advantage over consuming grain as [[porridge]], and fully-filled pies can grant enormous nutrition with long spoilage times. Each serving of pie also halts the hunger meter for 30 seconds, greatly helping players with high hunger rates due to equipping heavy armor or offhand items.

* Add water or honey with a filled bucket. Use LMB to add one portion, RMB to remove one portion.
