==Why Won't My Hot Food Cooking (HFC) Skill Go Up?==
You are probably cooking too high or low difficulty food. At HFC 1, cook a couple of 3-5 difficulty foods (like stews). Keep the difficulty up to 10 more than your current HFC. To check the difficulty, right-click the container the food is in, and select "Examine" (which will also tell you what food the current ingredients will combine to make as well as the container's temperature). Try cooking lots of stews at once to gain cooking skill faster.
Gaining cooking skill is a mystery, although [[Rolf]] has posted on the [[forum]]s the way it should work. What works for one player doesn't always work for another, however. Use trial-and-error to find what works best for you.
Using 1 [[cooked meat]] and 1 veggie works well until about HFC 30. Once you get to 30, skill gain seems to slow down and you will probably only get skill for every 5-10 meals. You can also use [[corn]] as a component, which is especially nice since you can grow your own and will not have to go out to search for ingredients.
'''''Note: To cook faster, place [[meat]] and veggies in a fire (not in the pan), wait for them all to become at least searing hot, and then place the 1 [[cooked meat]] and 1 veggie in the [[Frying Pan]]. It will become an instant [[Meal]] and will heat faster than in the [[Frying Pan]] alone.'''''
To create a campfire, first, find a [[tree]], double-click your [[hatchet]], right-click the tree, then select "cut down". Keep chopping down the same tree until the tree vanishes. Now, there should be a [[log]] or a [[felled tree]]. For the felled tree, right-click and select "chop up" to create logs. Now, double-click either your hatchet or [[carving knife]], right-click the log, and select "Create > Miscellaneous > [[Kindling]]". Now that you have kindling, double-click your [[steel and flint]], right-click the kindling, and select "Create > Campfire".
