I've tried for 5 sessions in the BETA. So here's my experience: Its pretty quick to "die" too. oOof! I do wish we can walk faster or Gnaw chomps slower. My first two I did with 3 players, the last three with 2 players. Seriously, you need 3 players because there's so much work to do. Though I survive longer in the last session since we know some recipe because of our previous fails.
First, you need to feed the right CRAVINGS, Mumsy (Mama Goat) will tell you what Gnaw wants.
Be ready for various crops and woods. Turnip (that purple and beige carrot?) kind of sucks, or maybe I didn't find the right recipe yet.
The cooking will need only 3 ingredients instead of the usual 4 ingredients. The pot seems to work easily with everything, also foods perish very quickly. So balance the money for buying food and to buy Grill/Oven.
Most stuff work with 3 same items per crock pot (except 3 Turnip and 3 Mushrooms), I haven't try with two stuff per crock pot.
Some advices:
- Chef please don't leave the cook. Wait for the pot to change animation to know it's done cooking (it has tiny steam come out)
- Forager get ready with lots of woods or the food won't cook faster. Don't pick up mushrooms yet unless you have the idea which ingredient to mix.
- I think Farmer can give the hoe to Chef and let the Chef do the farm while Farmer helps the Forager and talk to villagers for items.
- Everyone please do give idea to the Chef because the ingredients are all new.
Here the recipes that we've got right:
- Fist Full of Jam : 3 berries (Cravings - Snack & Dessert)
- *Carrot Soup : 3 Carrots
- Meatballs : 2 Potato + 1 meat (Cravings - Snack & Meat)
- Potato Soup : 3 Potatoes ( Cravings - Snack, Soup, Veggies)
- *Fish Stew : Potato, Fish, Turnip
*we don't know what craving for this food because we fail before manage to feed Gnaw.
Also Turnip is the purple and beige one, or was it called Parsnip? Too much panic to read what everything says.
I think the recipe is not restricted to same ingredients, though there are 70 RECIPES so I'm not convince.
So guys, please do share your recipe here, I will try to list them here on the second post if I can. If you're a modder maybe you can crack the recipe code lol jk don't want to ruined the fun right but I've lost 5 times in 45 minutes why
