Cooking guide

Checked 2026-10-16. Steam build 25955406. Patch 1.0.47.0.

The line I keep from Dev Blog #5 (17 December 2025) is that food is progress. I checked that against the first door, which refuses you until your stomach is full. Cooking is not a side minigame you can skip until the hub looks pretty.

What the developer has named

Dev Blog #5 names apples, meat, mushrooms, corn, cassava, tomato, beans, and cilantro. Example dishes include shepherd’s pie, meat and mushroom stew, ramen, pastel, and cassava fritters. Herbs change a dish you already cooked.

NPC Tips groups recipes for build 25955406 across eight stations: the crafting menu in your hands, workbench, cooking table, cooking pot, skillet, oven, rotisserie, and kettle. I have not re-typed every timed recipe. The recipes page explains the unlock rule and points at the stations people get stuck on.
