What Is Cooking?
Cooking transforms raw fish and other ingredients into food — the primary way to heal during combat.
Food Types
Three types of food are available:
- Roasted Fish — Simple, single-ingredient meals. Your bread-and-butter healing.
- Stews — Combine fish with biostock for stronger healing per item.
- Rations — Cross-resource recipes (fish + alloy or timber) for the most powerful meals.
Using Food
Food heals a flat amount of HP and can be used mid-combat. Higher-tier food heals more HP but requires rarer ingredients and higher Cooking levels.
The Combat Loop
Fight monsters → take damage → eat food to heal → fish and cook more food → repeat. Keep a stock of food before heading into dangerous zones.
