Historical talk:Meal

Spices/herbs seem optional in many cases. Mapping out some non-herb recipes. - Dashiva 11:46, 10 September 2006 (CDT)

• ( Fish | Cooked meat ) + Onion
• Cooked meat + Corn

And some that didn't work:

• Cooked meat + Bread (worked with added strawberry, blueberry, thyme)

So the difficulties i see means u get better skill when u cook in forge? so we better heat items in oven then combine them and make them meal in forge! Judgemaik 03:02, 5 April 2007 (CDT)

Edited out the outdated meal table. Saving it here in case anyone has reason to disagree:

Some Recipes and Difficulty (partly outdated)

Ingredients				Difficulty
Vegetable	Meat	Filler	Herb	Stone Oven	Campfire	Stone Forge
1x	1x	*	*	27	32	37
1x	2x	*	*	33	43	53
1x	1x	1x	*	33	43	53
1x	2x	1x	*	40	55	66
2x	1x	*	*	33	43	53
2x	2x	*	*	40	55	66
2x	1x	1x	*	40	55	66
2x	2x	1x	*	47	61	66

• Vegetables are corn or potato or onion or pumpkin
• Meat is meat, fillets of meat, fish or fillets of fish (but do not mix meat and fish as that reduces the meal to a stew)
• Filler is bread, cheese
• 2x means 2 different kinds of that item.

New changes?

I tried to create a meal today and failed:

• Cooked meat + onion = stew
• Filet of cooked meat + onion = stew
• Filet of cooked meat + potato = meal

Did something change within the last 1-2 days?

Yeah. Onion do not create meals anymore. But it's listed as a bug and will be fixed next patch. --Ago 00:24, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Has been fixed. Cooked meat + onion creates a meal again. --Naboto 16:52, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

meal decays

blgpapa

i did experiment with meal decay, so i have taken the liberty to update the page with my finding about the barrel + salt + water thing

Decay Prevention

Discussion: Meals with salt

Moved from the main article as this requires more testing:

• A common myth is that water, salt, or water plus salt will decrease the decay rate of meals in a barrel, but this has been proven to be false.
• Salt cooked into meals halves the damage of a decay tick on the meal. Experimentation on identical meals (one with salt, one without) stored in a bucket inside a building (no water in the bucket) has resulted in the following results:

10.0 QL meal with salt Day 0 = 0.0 damage Day 1 = 0.0 damage Day 3 = 60.0 damage

10.0 QL meal without salt Day 0 = 0.0 damage Day 1 = 0.0 damage Day 3 = 0.0 damage
