The Gold Cup is a drinking cup made of gold. It is kitchen gear that holds drinks, catches rainwater and makes coffee. It weighs 0.5.

Gold Cups can be made at a forge by a smith. They also turn up as very rare loot in survivor safehouses, attics and pawn shops. A spare cup can be scrapped for its gold. The Chef is the best occupation for cooking. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.

Cooking


The Gold Cup is a fluid container that holds up to 500 millilitres. Filled with clean water, it can be drunk from automatically when the character is thirsty.

Placed on the ground outside, the cup collects rainwater. That makes it a small rain catcher.

The game counts the cup as a coffee maker. The Brew Coffee recipe at a Coffee Machine fills it with a Hot Drink. The gold version of the drink is kept in the gold cup.

Recipes


Hot Drink takes up to 3 ingredients. It can also start from a Mug or a Teacup or a Ceramic Teacup. Every ingredient the game allows is listed with the hunger it restores, one kind of food per tab.
