Cooking

Cooking is an important survival tactic to prolong your life and reduce reliance on packaged ready to eat food.

Getting Started
You will need a Cooking Pot, a heat source, and a type of food with the label [Uncooked] in its name.

You must enter the crafting menu in your inventory, and Add the pot, the food, and if necessary, water, to the crafting recipe. If you have successfully found a craftable recipie, you will be able to craft a 'Pot of ______' with whatever food you used to craft it.

The next step may be difficult to figure out if you're used to other survival games. In Survive the Nights, go ahead and do what you would do in real life! Set the pot of uncooked food on top of a Electric Stove, Wood Stove, or Camp Fire and light it or turn it on. You can do this by dropping the pot out of your inventory somewhere safe, and 'moving' it by holding E on it.

After a short while, the pot will change to a 'cooked' state, and you can take them back into your inventory. You will receive your cooked food, and a Dirty Pot.

Enjoy!
