Food & Farming

Cooking tiers, farming, and keeping your stats stable

Food priorities, roughly cheapest to best

1. Baked Potato / Grilled Corn — simple, needs only the raw vegetable and a heat source. Your day-one staple.
2. Boiled Egg — good protein if you find a chicken coop or nest.
3. Charred Meat — from any animal kill; better than eating raw meat, still a basic recipe.
4. Ash Chicken Stew / Bacon and Eggs — mid-tier recipes once you have a cooking pot and more varied ingredients.
5. Blueberry Pie and other baked goods — later game, once you have an oven and a farm producing surplus.

Water

Always boil murky water at a campfire (or better) before drinking it — raw murky water carries a real chance of making you sick. Once you have a Dew Collector or a stable water source near base, water stops being a daily concern.

Farming

• Plant seeds from harvested crops (or bought from Trader Rekt, who specializes in food and seeds — see Traders & Economy) to start a sustainable food loop instead of relying purely on foraging.
• Corn and potatoes are reliable early crops that also feed directly into the recipes above.
• A dedicated farm plot near base cuts down on how often you need to go looting purely for food.

Biome-specific food notes

Different biomes offer different easy food sources — see World & Biomes for the full breakdown, but as a preview: Desert gives you Yucca Fruit and cactus, Snow gives Snowberries and Blueberries, and Forest gives the widest general spread of huntable animals.
