You need food to avoid hunger. Food is cooked either with the crafting menu File:Crafting menu hud icon.png or by putting certain ingredients into different types of machinery, such as the microwave File:Microwave.png.

Example Cooking Guide

As an example that requires both machinery and the crafting menu File:Crafting menu hud icon.png, here is how to cook a sausage File:Sausage.png:

  1. Grab two pieces of meat File:Meat.png from your fridge.
  2. Put one of the pieces of meat File:Meat.png into the food processor File:Processor.png.
  3. Click the food processor File:Processor.png to turn it on. This will turn the meat into three raw meatballs File:Raw meatball.png.
  4. Place the other piece of meat File:Meat.png on any table File:R-table.png.
  5. Vend a kitchen knife File:Knife.png from the dinnerware vendor File:Venddinnerware.gif, and use it on the piece of meat File:Meat.png. It should turn into 3x raw meat cutlets File:Rawmeatcutlet.png.
  6. Place the raw meatballs File:Raw meatball.png and the raw cutlets File:Rawmeatcutlet.png on the same tile (such as the same table).
  7. Stand within 1 tile's reach from both the raw meatballs File:Raw meatball.png and the raw meat cutlets File:Rawmeatcutlet.png. Click the crafting menu HUD icon File:Crafting menu hud icon.png to open the crafting menu.
  8. In the crafting menu, click on the "Meats" tab on the little sidebar on the left. Optionally click the "craftable only" checkbox to compress things down a bit.
  9. If you followed the above steps correctly, the "Raw Sausage" recipe should be clickable (instead of greyed out). Click it and stand still a few seconds to craft a raw sausage File:Raw sausage.png.
  10. Click the griddle to turn it on.
  11. Put the raw sausage on the griddle until it changes color. Your sausage File:Sausage.png is ready to be served.

Ingredients

File:Butcherknife.pngButcheringFile:Gibber.png

This is how you get your meat. In space, meat can be expensive to purchase from Cargo, and there are only so many monkeys on the station. There is a reason you have Morgue access. File:Meat.png

To butcher a simple animal, hit the carcass with your blade on Template:Combat Mode. Monkeys count as simple animal, and this is how you get the most meat. Humanoids such as, well, humans, cannot be butchered with just a knife, thought they can be dismembered if attacked with a sufficiently robust sharp object, like a hatchet or butcher's cleaver. Cutting off and dismembering a head lets you harvest the brain, tongue, and eyes by clicking on it in Template:Combat Mode with a sharp object, like you're butchering a simple animal. Dismembering the limbs from torso lets you harvest organs such as heart, appendix and lungs, by slicing at the torso until it splits open and the guts all fall out.

To get actual, cookable, burger-able meat from a person, you will need to put them in the gibber, one of the machines in the freezer room. Do this by undressing them, grabbing them with Template:Grab, and then clicking the gibber. Then click the gibber again to activate it, wait a few seconds, and you'll be showered in meat, skin, and splattered blood and gibs. Gibbing a humanoid in such a fashion results in meat and skin, and while monkeys can be "harvested" like this you could also use the knife, which produces a lot of extra meat, drops all of the monkey's organs, and generates a large amount of gibs and blood. Skin yield is the same regardless of the method used.

You can butcher your simplemobs, monkeys, and even humans (to a less culinary end) more efficiently by putting them on a meatspike. This immobilizes the mob for easy killing, and increases the amount of meat they produce while keeping any organs they may contain intact. (Butchering a simple animal without a meatspike has an individual chance of destroying each organ they would drop; using a meatspike guarantees the organs won't be destroyed.) It also gives them a BIG burst of brute damage. To do this, simply bring the animal to be butchered into your meat freezer, and while you have them grabbed, click one of the meatspikes. After the beast is hung on the spike, simply butcher them as normal and you'll reap your rewards! If you're working a ghetto kitchen, you can make a meatspike frame from metal sheets (use the sheets inhand), and turn it into a proper meatspike by wrenching it down and adding some rods.

The gibber also can be upgraded in order to acquire more meat per body, faster processing, and the ability to gib fully clothed people with better manipulators (not that you would need that). It should be in your best interest to get the science team to at least upgrade your gibber. Go here to see the upgrades in detail.

There are many types of meat, and only some of them are listed below.

File:Knife.pngFile:Rolling Pin.png Knife & Rolling Pin

These food are created by using your knife and rolling pin (found in the kitchen's dinnerware vending machine). When the recipe creates multiple products from a single object, each individual product has the same reagents as the sliced object, divided by the number of products made. (For example, a bread loaf with 20 nutriment would be sliced into 5 bread slices containing 4 nutriment each.)

The microwave oven is used to cook or boil raw ingredients. You can load multiple of them in the oven and cook them simultaneously. Use a kitchen tray to load it faster.

Trying to cook uncookable food will return a burned mess and will make the oven dirtier (which increases chances of failure).

In case of a failure, just use Space Cleaner, soap or a damp rag File:Rag.png on it and remove the burned mess inside.

File:Autowiki-kitchen range.png Stoves

Stovetops, found on Ranges and, well, Stoves are used to prepare Soup.

Soup can be made by filling a File:Autowiki-soup pot.png Soup Pot with reagents and ingredients and placing it on a stovetop. You can then Template:Rightclick right-click the stove to bring it to a boil and, over time, the ingredients will mix into a nice soup.

The finished product will contain soup reagent and some additional byproducts according to the recipe. Additionally, the product will ALSO contain all other reagents present in the ingredients you use.

This means better produce from botany will produce more soup, and inversely poisoned produce will affect your finished pot. If you're skeptical of your fellow service workers, be sure to check before dishing up.

To serve, just add 20-30 units of your mixture into a bowl. You can use a soup ladle, dispensed from your silverware vendor, for easier portioning.

See the Soup category for more information and recipes.

Crafting Recipes

Most dish recipes are made using the crafting menu, that is by placing your ingredients out nearby then clicking on the craft button (File:Crafting menu hud icon.png a small T icon on your HUD) to open a crafting window which lists all recipes that can be done with the ingredients. If one of the ingredients is a liquid, you can have the liquid in any kind of container, such as a beaker, bowl or drinking glass. Simply click any recipe to start crafting it. As long as you have at least the minimum amount of each needed ingredients, all within 1 tile of your character, you can craft it.

File:Icecream Vat.png Icecream Vat

Ding-aling ding dong. Get your Nanotrasen-approved ice cream!

File:Icecream vat window.png
This is the window that opens when you click an Icecream Vat.

For those hot days on the station there's an Icecream Vat, which can be used to make icecream. You do this by first clicking the Icecream Vat to open a window. To create an icecream, you must first dispense a cone. Then you click "select" next to the icecream type you want to put into the cone. Then you click the vat while holding the cone in hand.

The vat starts with some icecream and several cones stored. To make more of them you must click the "make" buttons while having the correct ingredients stored in the vat. Making more icecream or cones will just store them in the vat, until you make an icecream with it as described above.

The "Refill from beaker" button can be used to refill the vat with the standard ingredients (flour, sugar, milk, vanilla etc). Do it by loading a beaker (containing for example ice) into the vat, and then clicking "refill from beaker". The ice will be transferred to the vat, and can then be used if you click certain "make" buttons. Eject a beaker with alt-click.

The recipes below describe which ingredients the vat must be filled with to be able to "make" the listed items.

Hunger

As you walk and move about on station, your starting nutrition bar will start to drain from starting green, down to dark red. The effects of obesity and hunger are inversely bad of each other, and it is best to keep yourself reasonably fed with food or drinks, else you will suffer one of the two extremes.

File:Hungerlevels.gif The six hunger levels are Starving, Hungry, Fed, Well Fed, Full and Fat. The only bad levels are Starving, Hungry and Fat. Currently, you won't see your nutrition bar unless you are hungry or fat.

Note that nutrition is typically slow-release, so if you don't fill up immediately, you will in the near future. Listen to your stomach messages when eating, don't eat if your body is unwilling.

Starvation

If you drop to dark red, you move very slowly and your description reveals your lack of eating habits. You are starving, this is not good! You won't die, but you will move slowly until you eat some food, so head to the Kitchen for a burger or slice of meatbread!

Obesity

A troubling problem for all station goers who enjoy food too much, without working off the calories they consumed. You grow pudgy and move slowly, though not as slow as a starving person. You will only become fat once your food has had time to digest, this becomes a problem if you are say, working on the solars. By getting enough exercise, you can work off those pounds, but surgery or using lipocide is faster. Note that you can also become fat from drinking too much.

When one is fat, eating the mint or ingesting mint toxin (from grinding the mint) will gib them.

Satiety

Eating healthy food and being well fed can make your organism temporarily stronger against viruses and toxic reagents that get into your body. Being hungry will make you metabolize both good and bad reagents slower, for a higher total effect. On the other hand, eating junk food will satiate your hunger for a while but it will make you want food again faster, and eating too much of them can make you a bit jittery.
