🍳 Cooking Station
The Cooking Station is the workstation where you turn raw ingredients into cooked dishes. Launch-week reviews confirm a cooking minigame with unlockable recipes — we describe the mechanics, not ingredient quantities (not published on this site yet).
What it is
A workstation that turns raw ingredients into cooked dishes via a minigame — reported in retail per launch-week reviews.
How to unlock
Recipes unlock as you progress — exact unlock triggers not published on this site yet.
Stamina restored
Savory hot dishes restore the most (up to 60–70); desserts and snacks barely restore any (0–4).
Mana recovery
No per-dish mana recovery values are published by any source — the gap is noted honestly.
How to Cook
A framework cooking workflow — no per-recipe ingredient lists or unlock triggers published on this site yet. Adapt to your ingredient supply and night window.
- 1
Unlock the Cooking Station — reported via recipe unlocks through the cooking minigame.
- 2
Gather ingredients from farming, foraging, and fishing lanes.
- 3
Interact with the Cooking Station to start the cooking minigame.
- 4
Complete the minigame to produce the dish — each recipe restores a set amount of stamina.
💡 Pro tip: Pair cooking with your farming lane — surplus crops like pumpkins and fish become ingredients for high-stamina dishes. See /farming-guide and /fishing-guide.
Best Dishes for Stamina
If you only cook three things, make them Gluhwein (60–70 stamina), Gazpacho (40–50), and Fishy Burger (35). These three cover your nightly stamina bar more efficiently than any dessert or snack. For the full ranking, see the dish table above.
⚠️ No mana values: No source publishes per-dish mana recovery. We do not invent values — the gap is noted honestly. Stamina powers tools; mana powers spells. See /stamina-guide for the full stamina vs mana breakdown.
