Pot of Stew is a cooking pot of water filled with ingredients and slow cooked into a thick stew. Like soup, it turns many small food items into one large meal. Stew favours meat, with room for cured and canned meats that soup turns away.

Stew is an evolved recipe. A cook starts with a cooking pot of water and adds up to six ingredients, plus spices. It needs at least 900 mL of water. Once cooked, the pot lowers hunger and thirst and lifts mood.

The full pot weighs 3.0, so it is usually split into two or four bowls. A pot of stew stays fresh for 3 days and is rotten by day 5. Every pot is made by hand. The Chef is the best occupation for cooked and prepared. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.

Eating


The stew recipe lowers hunger by 40 and thirst by 40 before any ingredients go in. Each ingredient adds its own hunger value on top. A pot full of meat and vegetables can feed a survivor for several meals.

Stew lowers unhappiness by 20. It is worse cold, so it should be eaten soon after it comes off the heat.

Calories and macronutrients follow the ingredients that go in. A pot of mostly meat gives a very different meal from a pot of vegetables.

A Pot of Soup is the closest dish. Both lower hunger and thirst by 40 at the start and lower unhappiness by 20. Soup cooks faster, while stew takes a wider range of meats.

The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking


Stew is started by right clicking a cooking pot that holds water. The pot cooks in 70 minutes and burns at 140. An oven or a fire both work. The pot is metal and does poorly in a microwave.

The recipe takes up to six ingredients. Spices sit outside that limit, but a spice can only go in after at least one regular ingredient. Stew accepts several items soup turns away. These include Bacon, Bacon Strips, Bacon Bits, Baloney Slices, Beef Jerky, Ground Beef, Meat Patty, Pepperoni, Salami Slices, Sausage and Steak. Canned Chili, Canned Corned Beef, Canned Sardines, Canned Spaghetti Bolognese, Canned Tuna and Gravy also fit.

Cooking the pot gives the full hunger value and makes raw meat safe. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further. A forged cooking pot works the same way as a normal one.

Once cooked, the Divide Food into 2 Bowls and Divide Food into 4 Bowls recipes split the pot into portions. The empty pot comes back after the stew is eaten.

Recipes


Stew takes up to 6 ingredients. It starts from a Cooking Pot or a Bucket. Every ingredient the game allows is listed with the hunger it restores, one kind of food per tab.

A pot of stew stays fresh for 3 days and is fully rotten by day 5. A fridge slows both counts. Splitting the stew into bowls makes it easier to store and eat one portion at a time.

Notes


  • Stew accepts cured and canned meats that soup turns away.
  • A spice can only be added after the first regular ingredient.
  • Stew needs at least 900 mL of water in the pot.
  • It is worse cold, so it should be eaten soon after cooking.
  • Splitting the pot into bowls makes the heavy dish easier to carry.
