#REDIRECT [[Main Page]] :: [[Useful N00b Links]] :: [[How do i get Food/Cook guide]] <br>== Introduction ==As a Newbie you will get free food for the first 24 hours of playtime (if you play 3 hours every real life day, you will have access to free food for 8 real life days) at the bistro of [[Newtown]]. == [[Foraging]] And [[Botanizing]] ==You will need to Forage and Botanize to make your [[Stew]], [[Soup]], or [[Casserole|Casseroles]]. Guide To do this right click a [[Tile Types|Grass Tile]] than select Nature > Forage or Botanize NOTE: You can only forage/botanize once on the same tile every 24 hours. Any attempts past then will find nothing. == [[Pottery Bowl]] ==To make your Pottery Bowl for cooking, you will need to first find clay, when you find a deposit Double Click your [[Shovel]], than Right click the [[Terrain:Clay|Clay Tile]] and Select Dig. You will get [[Clay]], now Double click your left or right hand than right click and select Create > Containers > Clay Bowl. You will now either fail, get an Unfinished Clay Bowl or get a Clay Bowl. If the bowl is unfinished you will need to perform actions on it to finish it. Put the (not unfinished) Clay Bowl in a Fire to finish the bowl, it should change colour and be called [[Pottery Bowl]] now. == [[Campfire]] ==To create a [[campfire]], first find a [[Terrain:Tree|tree]], double click your Small Axe and right click the tree than select Chop Down, keep selecting Chop Down to the same tree until the tree vanishes. Now there should be a log or a felled tree on the floor. For the felled tree right click than select Chop Down to create [[log]]s, Now double click either your Small Axe or [[Carving Knife]] than Right click the log and select Create > Miscellaneus > Kindling. Now that you have a [[Kindling]] Double click your [[Steel and Flint]] and right click the Kindling and Select: Create > [[Campfire]] == Combining all Three things to Cook ==First off you should Forage and Botanize, now create your Clay Bowl and BEFORE you heat up the Clay Bowl put the Foraged And Botanized Item in the Bowl then put it in a Campfire ( Please note that the food will only cook into a pottery bowl, so you may have to wait for a clay bowl to turn to pottery). ( If you already have a Completely Finished bowl just put your food in the bowl and put it in the campfire) Note that you can add more than just one Foraged and Botanized Item in a bowl for a Larger Casserole. We'll cover the recipe for [[Meal]] on this page as it's currently the most useful recipe. ==[[Meal]]==To create a meal you will need a [[Vegetable]] and a piece of [[Meat]] or [[Fish]]. Heat them up to searing hot and put them in a [[Frying Pan]], and you will have a meal. Various low-nutrition foods like bread, berries or cheese can be added to the frying pan to make your meal larger. QL of the meal will in most cases equal your skill in hot food cooking, unless you try to cook a meal with too high difficulty. ==My Cooking Wont Go up.. why?!==You are probably cooking too high or low difficulty food, at Cooking Level 1 cook a couple of 3-5 Difficulty Foods, to check the difficulty Right Click then Examine the bowl it will also tell you what the food will turn out as. Try cooking lots of stews at once to gain cooking skill faster. Gaining cook skill is a mystery, although Rolf has posted on the forums the way it should work, what works for one player doesn't always work for another. Use trial and error to find what works best for you. Using 1 [[cooked meat]] and 1 veggie works well until about skill 30. Once you get to 30, skill gain seems to slow down and you will prolly only get skill for every 5-10 meals. '''''Note: To cook faster, placing [[meat]] and veggies in a fire (not in the pan) wait for them all to become at least searing hot, and then place 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]].'''''
