-Scrapbook Description

For Warly's unique cooking recipes, see Portable Crock Pot.
For Crock Pot Dishes, see Dishes.

The Crock Pot is a Structure used to cook a variety of belly-filling dishes from basic Foods. It requires 3 Cut Stone, 6 Charcoal, 6 Twigs and a Science Machine to prototype.

While enhancing Food's value and efficiency; it can even make use of otherwise inedible items like Twigs.

Icon Tools.png Usage

A Crock Pot has 4 slots for ingredients, each must be filled with a piece of Food to start cooking. Most recipes take 10–20 seconds to cook (Exact times for each recipe are listed in Dishes). Completed Crock Pot dishes can be stacked to 40; none of them can be used in the Crock Pot again.

A cooking attempt's ingredients have to match a recipe. If an attempt fails to match any recipe at all, Wet Goop ends up as the product.

When a recipe is attempted (i.e. the pot starts cooking), the Food Value the ingredients fit into are considered; almost all recipes require some amount of Food from certain Food Value, but there are many recipes with specific Food requirements (like Froggle Bunwich requires a Frog Leg).

Each recipe has recipe priorities, so a result can be decided when a set of ingredients fits more than one valid recipe.

When spoiling ingredients are used, the completed dish's spoil percentage becomes half the average spoil percentage of the ingredients (e.g. if 1 monster meat and 3 berries, all 90% spoiled (10% fresh), are placed in the Crock Pot, the resulting meatball will be 45% spoiled (55% fresh)). Non-spoilable ingredients are ignored when calculating average spoil percentage.

Crock Pot dishes start to spoil (even quicker in rain) before being collected. Some existing recipes gain the ability to warm or cool the player and new recipes have been added which can lower or raise the player's temperature. The Crock Pot itself also generates heat when cooking, which may Overheat the player during Summer.

Prototype.png Tips

  • The light emitted by an active Crock Pot is enough to keep Charlie away.
  • Warly has his own Portable Crock Pot.
  • Some Crock Pot dishes give fewer Hunger / Health points than the sum of their components.
    • For instance, it's better to eat four Roasted Carrots (+12 Health Meter.png / +50 Hunger Meter.png), versus using them to make Ratatouille (+3 Health Meter.png / +25 Hunger Meter.png); however, most Crock Pot recipes restore 5 Sanity Meter.png, which may be desirable.
  • If the player has enough resources to create a 5-6 fit Crock Pot setting, the player can position them in a quintet or hexagonal style and place a Fridge or two in the center. This will allow both the fridge and crock pot to be open simultaneously, increasing cooking efficiency.
  • It's a good idea to cook any stale or spoiled food on fire before putting them in the Crock Pot, if the recipe allows cooked food to be used. Doing so raises the overall freshness of the ingredients, making the end result last longer.
