Quick Answer: How to Cook in Abiotic Factor
To cook in Abiotic Factor, you can use a pan for meat, a cooking pot for soups (requires Level 3 cooking skill), or consume raw/canned food. Pans are the easiest method, while cooking pots offer more variety and potential bonuses.
My Culinary Adventure in Abiotic Factor
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let me share a quick story. When I first landed on this alien planet, I was as green as they come. I remember staring at my growling stomach, surrounded by strange creatures and even stranger plants. My first meal? Raw pest meat. Let’s just say it didn’t sit well, and I learned the hard way that cooking isn’t just a luxury here—it’s a necessity for survival.
Cooking with a Pan: The Beginner’s Best Friend
Let’s start with the basics. Using a pan is your go-to method for quick and easy cooking in Abiotic Factor. Here’s what you need to know:
- You’ll need two items: a pan and some meat
- Pans can only cook meat, but that’s okay because meat is the most common food source
- Most enemies drop meat when defeated
Pro Tip: You can create Bio Scrap by overcooking alien meat in a pan. While I wouldn’t recommend doing this often (you’ll usually have more Bio Scrap than food), it can be a handy trick in a pinch.
Extracting Edible Meat from Aliens
Now, let’s talk about getting that meat in the first place. The Pest, your most common enemy, is a great source of food. But there’s a catch:
- If you step on a Pest after killing it, it turns into Bio Scrap
- To get meat, kill the Pest without stepping on it
- Use a kitchen knife to turn the Pest’s body into food
- This method works for most biological enemies in the game
Cooking Without a Pan: Survival 101
Sometimes, you might find yourself without a trusty pan. Don’t worry, you’ve got options:
- Eat fresh or canned food: This is the easiest method, especially early in the game. Look for vending machines to stock up on these ready-to-eat goodies.
- Consume raw ingredients: You can eat raw meat or other ingredients directly. But be warned, this often comes with risks like reduced health or sickness. It’s not ideal, but it might save your life in a tough spot.
Mastering the Cooking Pot: Advanced Culinary Arts
Ready to level up your cooking game? Enter the cooking pot. It’s trickier to use but offers better results and more variety. Here’s what you need to know about cooking with a pot in Abiotic Factor:
- You need to reach Cooking Skill Level 3 to use a cooking pot
- Don’t worry about grinding for XP; your skills will improve naturally as you cook
- Want to level up faster? Choose the Nutritional Advisor job or the Hobbyist Chef trait
How to Make Soup in Abiotic Factor
Once you’ve got the skills, here’s how to whip up some soup:
- Find a stove
- Grab a cooking pot
- Fill the pot with water
- Add ingredients (this determines the type of soup you’ll create)
Remember: Most combinations will result in “Bad Soup”. It’s edible but nothing special. The real magic happens when you nail the right combinations for special soups with bonus effects.
