If you don't know a recipe, don't experiment, or you will waste valuable ingredients! | If you don't know a recipe, don't experiment, or you will waste valuable ingredients! Furthermore, if you are using a microwave, you will dirty your microwave, making it unusable until it gets a space cleaner blast. Also, if a microwave gets broken, you need to use a toolbox to repair it (the tools, don't smack it more). The processor and the blender are much more forgiving. The processor will only take things that it recognizes and the blender will blend any food item (granted, you might not get anything interesting out of it). You also have a ChemMaster to separate and identify anything you produce with your blender. | ||

Most are done by tablecrafting -- place your ingredients on a table and click&drag from the table onto yourself to open a crafting window, which lists all recipes that can be made with the given ingredients. | ||

If you don't want to go through the bartender, you can use the window that faces the main hallway, serve patrons in person with your food cart, or even add your superior creations to vending machines. | ||

Your knife is a pretty good damage weapon | Your knife is a pretty good damage weapon. It has an awesome stun rate, and if an alien eats you, take your knife out of your back pack and wriggle about inside using your move keys (you'll see how good it is then). Other than that, it can be used to cut food! You can cut cheese very easy with it, along with other foods (test what you can cut with it). Some animals can be butchered with the knife as well. | ||
While the rolling pin does not give attack messages, so is a great stealth attack weapon, the knife is just stronger and meaner all around. However, the rolling pin does tend to cause a temporary "partial blindness" making it easier to take out a fleeing enemy, who can't see where they're going. EXCEPT THE ROLLING PIN DOES NOTHING BUT PARTIALLY BLINDING. FUCK. THIS IS SO USELESS (It knocks monkeys out immediately though!) | While the rolling pin does not give attack messages, so is a great stealth attack weapon, the knife is just stronger and meaner all around.

Your neighbor, hydroponics, is a necessity for you to make | Your neighbor, hydroponics, is a necessity for you to make most recipes. Take a gander at the window early on and see if there are any botanists working, and if there aren't any inside, wait a bit for one to be sent on the arrivals shuttle or go ask the HoP for botany access so that you can grow your own plants. They will most of the time grant you access because hydroponics isn't a high-risk area. Good things to ask the botanists for to start with are wheat, tomatoes, and potatoes. These three plants are used commonly in recipes, and after you ask botany for those you can ask them for other plants when they need to be used in a recipe. Please note that hydroponics has direct access to your smart fridge, and will often times load crop into it without saying a word. Check it from time to time to see if the hippies have left you anything. | ||
If no one is working botany and you're too lazy to stop by the HoP, the [[Garden]] has some basic produce available (most usefully, wheat) and the ability to make more seeds. | |||

Some [[critters]] can be gibbed with your knife for meat, but they need to be dead first.

Your gibber is EXCESSIVELY useful during long rounds where you are feeding a lot of people. | Your gibber is EXCESSIVELY useful during long rounds where you are feeding a lot of people. If you can't get Pun Pun or get the quartermaster to get you a monkey crate, you can head off to the morgue. That's right, the cook has morgue access to grab spent bodies and drag them to the gibber. It's good practice to gib suicide victims first, as they cannot be cloned by any means and you can easily tell they're suicides by examining them for the following: a twisted off head, a bit off tongue, gouged out eyes, or, more plainly-- they look like they've committed suicide. Your gibber can only accept unclothed bodies, so remove any clothing or other objects the body may have on them. | ||

[[R&D]] can upgrade your microwaves, doubling the amount of food they produce! On long shifts with lots of people this will prove invaluable, assuming all the scientists haven't set themselves on fire. | |||
