Due to a bug, dwarves prefer to cook solid ingredients. Avoid using barrels for solid ingredients, or else your cook will likely continue his string of quarry bush leaves x4 roasts.īooze (and other liquid ingredients) can be used as an ingredient in prepared meals, but the first ingredient stack of any prepared meal must be a solid. To maximize variety in your prepared meals (and improve the chance of including a preferred ingredient) you can link several small stockpiles to the kitchen. One "masterfully minced plump helmet" cooked with ten "well-minced dog meat" will have exactly the same value and description as ten "masterfully minced plump helmet" and one "well-minced dog meat".Ĭooks are notorious for choosing ingredients poorly. The individual stack sizes of the ingredients may affect your profits, but have no effect on the final meal's value. (superiorly minced = 4) × (value of mussels = 2☼)Īll multiplied by the total number of meals (11) (finely minced = 3) × (value of sweetbread = 2☼) (finely minced = 3) × (value of tripe = 2☼) (finely-minced = 3) × (value of cheese = 10☼) (well-prepared = 2) × (base value of prepared meal = 10☼) So, for example: a well-prepared meal consisting of 5 finely-minced cow cheese, 3 finely-minced llama tripe, 1 finely-minced llama sweetbread, and 2 superiorly minced mussels would be "-mussel roast -", worth 770☼ (for 62☼ of ingredients!).
#DWARF FORTRESS TRADING MEALS PLUS#
The value of a stack of prepared meals is equal to the prepared meal's base value of 10 times the meal's quality modifier (finely-prepared, etc.), plus the products of each ingredient's base value and its quality modifier (well-minced, etc.), all multiplied by the stack size. This table shows how the quality modifiers compare to other items: Prepared meals are subject to quality modifiers to their base value while each individual ingredient gets a quality modifier as well, making prepared meals an extremely profitable item indeed. It seems to occur when many stacks of the same food are available (for example, many, many quarry bush leaves) and the cook grabs multiple stacks of the same food.ĭespite their large stack sizes, stacks of prepared meals can usually (though not always) fit into regular barrels or pots on a food stockpile. This behavior is presumably a bug, and may be related to the Planepacked glitch and other similar bugs. Prepared meals cannot be used as ingredients in other prepared meals.Ĭooks may occasionally create a meal that has more than the required number of ingredients roasts, for instance, may have 5, or, occasionally, 6 ingredients, or even rarely as many as 12. The stack size of the finished prepared meal is the sum of the stack sizes of its ingredients, so a cook grabbing "turkey hen egg ", "plump helmets " and "plump helmets " would result in a stack of "plump helmet stew ".
The same ingredient may be used for a meal multiple times, provided that ingredient is in multiple discrete stacks. To successfully create a prepared meal, a cook must have access to the proper number of distinct stacks of ingredients when the job starts, otherwise the job will be cancelled.
Prepared meals can rot, but will do so much more slowly than raw food, especially meat.
The number of servings produced has no effect on experience gain. All three of these give the same experience gain to the Cooking skill, so making easy meals maximizes experience gain if you don't care about experience gain, preparing lavish meals saves much more stockpile space.
There are three kinds of prepared meals: easy, fine, and lavish.
