Recipe Ingredients
Recipe ingredients are food items that can be combined to create custom recipes. Certain items are necessary to start the process, but multiple ingredients can be used to increase the effectiveness of the recipe.
To start crafting the recipe, the player must right-click on the starting item (listed for each recipe below) with at least one ingredient in the player's main inventory. The name of the item crafted will depend on the ingredients used, though any recipe with 3 or more ingredients can be renamed by the player.
Ingredient Use
Ingredients provide an amount of hunger reduction depending on the ingredient (for example, in a Soup, Potato provides 15, while Cabbage provides 10) and the recipe (for example, Beef Jerky can add 15 hunger reduction to a Stew, but only 5 hunger reduction to a Sandwich). This amount will be shown next to the ingredient while selecting it for a recipe. Some ingredients will not be fully used when added to a recipe and a portion will remain in the player's inventory. Ingredients also provide boredom and unhappiness reduction: every ingredient adds -5 boredom/unhappiness the first time it is added. However boredom and unhappiness penalties will be added if a recipe contains 3 of the same ingredient.
There are several advantages to using food in recipes instead of eating it individually. Depending on the recipe:
- Ingredients can provide more hunger reduction than as stand-alone foods (depending on the character's cooking skill)
- Recipes provide boredom and unhappiness reductions
- Using ingredients in some recipes will eliminate boredom and unhappiness penalties caused by eating stale food
- Rotten food can be used in recipes with no penalties (depending on the character's cooking skill)
This will get covered in-depth in the Cooking Guide (when it gets written) or in an improved version of the Cooking page.
Condiments & Spices
Some ingredients can only be added to a recipe that has already been started:
- Salt, Pepper, Ketchup, Mustard, Marinara, and Mayonnaise can be used as condiments & spices to enhance a recipe. They do not count towards the amount of ingredients, but must be added before the maximum amount of ingredients is reached.
Pre-Cooked Ingredients
Cooking certain ingredients before adding them to a recipe allows them to be used in Salads or Sandwiches where they could not be used raw:
- Bacon, bacon rashers, bacon bits, chicken, fish fillet, mutton chop, pork chop, rabbit meat, salmon, small animal meat, and small bird meat can all be used if cooked first.
- Any raw ingredient that can be used in a recipe can also be used in that recipe as a cooked ingredient.
Soup & Stew Ingredients
Starting Item: | ||
Cooking Pot |
Soup or stew is crafted by right-clicking on a cooking pot with water. It should be cooked to gain its full hunger reduction (or to cook raw ingredients). Soup/Stew can accept a maximum of 6 ingredients, as well as spices. A pot of soup or stew is heavy, but can be separated into bowls (x2 or x4). Unlike most other recipes, soup and stew require a fair amount of water each time. Soup ingredients cannot be used with the pot of soup crafted from canned soup.
Ingredients that have gone stale can still be used in soups and stews. Their hunger reduction will be added to the soup, while the boredom and unhappiness penalties will not. This is a good way to extend the life of your perishable foods, and is one of the best uses of soups and stews.
Ingredients that have gone rotten can be used as ingredients by characters with cooking skill of at least 7. This will add a small amount of the hunger reduction but will not create rotten soup or stew; an expert chef can trim the rotten pieces off, saving any good parts.

- Ingredients with a red border must be cooked to be used in that recipe.
