Cookery

This is a vital skill for survival in the Unreal world. Cooked food has four grades, awful, bland, normal (no indicator) and delicious. These grades affect nutrition, but so slightly as to be unnoticeable.

Herbs, leaves and seeds can be used as seasoning in several receipes.

Meat processing

 * Roasted meat


 * Basic processing of food, spoiles in a matter of days unless stored in a cellar, but still spoils fast. Intended for near-future consumption. Takes from 30 minutes to an hour to prepare.
 * Raw meat (10 pieces/cuts per batch)
 * Fire
 * Dried meat


 * Best way of food preservation as it takes a very long time before it spoils.
 * Raw meat or fish
 * Dry and cold weather (October to March)
 * A place for drying (wall of a building)
 * Knife
 * Tying equipment


 * Salted meat 


 * Worst of the the long-term preservation methods but still takes a decent amount of time before the food spoils. A bag of salt is quite an expensive item. You can preserve up to 120 cuts of meat with one 12 lbs bag. The process takes 5 days.

 * Salt


 * Smoked meat
