Guide to Food

Unlike in real life, experimenting with making food isn't really rewarded in space. Not following the established recipes will only lead to either a broken microwave, a burned mess, or just sadness overall. Feel free to make suggestions in outside channels, though.

The Mechanics of Food

Fullness

As you walk and move about in and around the colony, your starting nutrition bar will start to drain from starting green, down to dark red; if your hunger bar turns black, you've eaten way too much. The effects of fullness and hunger are equally bad, so it is best to stay at a happy medium. So keep in mind how much you've eaten and how long it has been since you last ate, and you will be fine.

Go with the rule that, "If you have a hard time getting it down, don't eat any more". Note that nutrition is typically slow-release, so if you don't fill up immediately, you will in the near future.

Several reagents will increase your fullness:

• Very effective: Nutriment, found in most foods. The main one and most effective; Corn Oil; Animal Protein, found in meat and Egg Yolk.
• Somewhat effective: Ketchup, Sugar, Sprinkles, Coco powder, Cherry jelly.
• Some alcoholic drinks.

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 will move slowly until you eat some food, so head to the Chef for a burger or slice of meatbread!

Some things will decrease your hunger faster:

• Vomiting
• Being cold (by exposure to cold environments or because you were in a cryo tube)
• Recovering from blood loss
• Taking Lipozine
• Some viruses

Hydroponics

Hydroponics, located just beside the kitchen, exists to produce produce for use in your various dishes. While a great variety of fruits and vegetables can be grown here, the most vital for most dishes are wheat, tomatoes, and potatoes. Growing these is an intelligent start to a good lunch. The department can also produce wheat and milk using spare biomass from unneeded plant matter, which is quite handy upon occasion. See the Guide to Hydroponics for more information.

The Church

If you don't feel like questioning the source of your meat and milk, The Church of the Absolute is an acceptable provider of basic kitchen stock, with their private chicken coop, public surface garden, and massive tank filled with acid to slowly and torturously dispose of any biological material deposited therein, breaking it down into their base components for reassembly into foodstuffs. But hey, they'll likely give it to you for free! So charitable.

Animals

The grinder located in the freezer is suitable for chewing up any corpses that happen to fall into your hands, processing them into usable steaks. Pretty much anything can yield at least one good slab of meat, in general. In case the crew objects to eating any random meat that is available, however, the Cook can order a variety of other sources of protein from Lonestar or the Church, or source 'free-range' meat from the Prospectors or Blackshield.

Cows - aside from slaughtering for meat, can be milked with a bucket, but they do require feeding them some wheat.

Chickens - ordering some to keep in the pasture as part of your private petting zoo is a good step to take if you know you'll be needing more eggs than the ones you start with. Feed them with wheat to get them to lay eggs. Unattended eggs may hatch into even more chickens, so beware of exponential chicken growth events. Note: Any egg that is touched by anyone in any way permanently prevents hatching.

Refer to the list of native and non-native fauna for further sources of delicious meat.

Reagents and Condiments

You get these mostly from grinding, blending or mixing.

To grind, put your desired grindable object in the grinder. When enough of a reagent is inside, it will spit out a container of that reagent. Reagents can be ejected early for a partially-full container. Grinding foods reduces them to their component parts.
NOTE: When putting in containers, the container is lost. Don't grind your beakers, folks. Lonestar's more than happy to charge you for more.

To blend, put your object in the blender, ideally with a catch container inside, and hit blend. If it WILL blend, you get some reagents in the container, which you can then eject.

To mix reagents, put them in the same container. You should hear a bubbling sound if it's successful.

Tips

• Milk, Soy Milk, Berry Juice, Soy Sauce, Hot Sauce, Cold Sauce, and Sugar are all measured in reagent units rather than by number of containers. They can be poured directly into the microwave. Be sure to check their pouring amount first.
• Tired of customers shoveling their food in their face and running off? Snag a syringe from somewhere, and inject your creations with Nutriment, Corn Oil, or Animal Protein you get from your grinder. By increasing the amount of reagents, your food takes that many more bites to finish, which means diners stick around and chat more! This also opens up the opportunity for takeout meals.
• Alternatively, just grind up everything and make it all into unappetizing Nutriment slurry. Or convenient pills, if you somehow get hold of a ChemMaster or cooperation with Soteria. Don't expect your boss to enjoy this method, however.
• Sliceable foods can be divided into smaller portions by slicing them. Their reagents are divided equally into the slices. The slices noted here are the maximum number of slices, which you can get by using a precise cutting tool like a kitchen knife, cleaver, or scalpel. Crude cutting tools, like axes, shovels, and saws will result in fewer slices.
• Condiments are reagents that can be added to food, possibly increasing their nutrition value or adding some fun extras. A chef can create condiments by grinding up things that contain them and isolating them. Condiments let you put ketchup on your fries, salt in your soup, Dylovene on your fish fingers, or Psilocybin on your ghost burger--the possibilities are endless! Foods hold a maximum of 50 units of reagents.
• Some poisonous foods can be prepared safely if Dylovene is added to the finished product, or if the poisonous reagent is neutralized somehow. Experienced chefs only!
• Traitor chefs can make some sneaky substitutions:
  • Poisonous apples can be used in all apple dishes, and the final dish will be poisoned. Unlike poisonous mushrooms, cyanide apples can easily kill.
  • Slime jelly can be substituted for cherry jelly, and will poison the resulting food.
  • Anything made with meat can be made with human meat. (It's still necessary to emag the gibber before butchering one's murder victims.)
• Blood is not necessarily poisonous. It is always the same type as the person the brain was taken from, and if the type is incompatible with the recipient, it will cause a rejection reaction. O-negative blood is always safe, but Soteria usually wants that for transfusions.
• Units of egg yolk are obtained by breaking eggs into beakers.

Advanced Cooking

Some reagents in the finished products are poisonous, you may want to serve these items safely. This is where a little chemistry can help neutralize or remove the dangerous reagents from your food. Any given piece of food can contain only 50 units of reagents.

When using Dylovene, it's okay to use more than you strictly need. Other chemicals you might use to neutralize poison aren't so forgiving, and some are poisonous themselves.

Reagent	How to Neutralize
Blood	Blood is not necessarily poisonous. It is always the same type as the person it was taken from, and if the type is incompatible with the recipient, it will cause a rejection reaction. O-negative blood is always safe. Add one unit of Dylovene for every four units of blood. Alcoholic drinks made with blood, of any type, are safe; just be sure there is no blood left over after the reaction. Blood can also be neutralized with Clonexadone (1 unit Clonexadone to 5 units Blood), or by adding drink ingredients to create a blood-based drink.
Carpotoxin	Anything made with carp meat will have carpotoxin in it. Counter it with 1 unit Dylovene per 3 units Carpotoxin. Carpotoxin also reacts with copper and Cryptobiolin to form Rezadone, but overdose of Rezadone starts at 15 units and most carpotoxin-containing foods have five or more units of it.
Amatoxin	Found in mushrooms. Add 1 unit Dylovene per 2 units Amatoxin.
Toxin	Add 1 unit Dylovene per 2 units Toxin.
Slime Jelly	Will poison your customers no matter how much Dylovene you add. Adding Dylovene (around 30 units or so) will keep them from dying of the poisoning before they can get to Medical, but if you're not a traitor, do you really want to serve them such a painful dish? (No, don't answer that. We know customers can be annoying; that's still no excuse to poison them.)
Radium	Found in roast diona and will cause radiation poisoning. Add 1 unit of Dylovene per unit of Radium; reacts to form Hyronalin.
Sulphuric Acid	Dylovene won't cut it for sulphuric acid, which will burn as well as poison anyone unlucky enough to ingest it. Instead, neutralize each 1 unit of sulphuric acid with either 3 units of Corn Oil (creates Glycerol), 4 units of Soy Milk (creates Soy Sauce), or 5 units of wine (creates Acid Spit, an alcoholic cocktail).
Polytrinic Acid	You're serious about serving that xeno meat, huh? Well, don't serve it plain. Polytrinic acid will poison, burn, and generally kill your customers in a rather nasty manner. Like with sulphuric acid, Dylovene isn't enough, but unlike sulphuric acid, it's not easy to neutralize. Polytrinic acid will react with foaming agent and either iron or aluminum to create metal foam, and 10 units of polytrinic acid and 20 units of Plasticide will create plastic. When working out how to do this, remember that Plasticide is poisonous and metal foam can be chipped through with a kitchen knife.
Alcohol	An equal amount of Ethylredoxrazine reacts with Alcohol (including alcoholic drinks) to make water. If medical is humming along nicely, the Bartender may already have some handy for unruly alcoholics.
Synaptizine	Synaptizine is poisonous, but the bigger problem is that it hangs around in the system for a long time. For every unit of Synaptizine, you need 30 units of Dylovene.
Plasma	Really, now? You could neutralize plasma by adding 2 rum and 1 vermouth per unit, but eating OR drinking plasma is still a bit of a waste.
Roach Toxins	Perfectly fine and beneficial to eat for Cht’mant aside from Fuhrerole, but very toxic to all other species. Due to a varying amount of many different toxic chemicals, please dose with Carbon or Dylovene as needed, or in extreme cases, Haloperidol.
