Cooking & Soups

Cooking turns facility junk and Anteverse crops into food that grants buffs, not just hunger relief. Fry single ingredients by placing a Frying Pan on a powered stove (frying also removes the food poisoning risk raw food carries), or set a filled pot on a powered stove to make soup, which fills more and carries the strong buffs.

Cooking is a use-based skill: you level it by cooking. It unlocks Soup at level 3 and the Convection Oven plus baking at level 10. The Somatic Gastrologist starts with a lean toward it, but anyone can specialize, which is why one player usually runs the kitchen in co-op.
