# Cooking — the kitchen of Cthangover
|
||
|
||
Cooking is the kitchen of Cthangover's house: the player learns recipes from recipe items, cooks at the kitchen workbench, and watches how many days the party's rations will last. It is a mechanic of the Cthangover game — it opens in the `home_kitchen` scene and uses that game's items — and it is a different thing from Crafting, the general workbench mod used by RPG Plus (see the comparison below).
|
||
|
||
## Learning a recipe
|
||
|
||
Recipes come as items. Select one in the bag and press **Learn recipe**; the item is used up and the recipe becomes known:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## The kitchen
|
||
|
||
In the kitchen the story asks what to do. The small panel at the top left counts the rations:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
- **Rations** — how many are in the bag.
|
||
- **Daily consumption** — characters in the roster × the rations each eats a day (a setting of the mod, 1 by default).
|
||
- **Supplies will last** — whole days the rations are enough for.
|
||
|
||
**Cook** opens the workbench over the kitchen picture. Known cooking recipes are on the left — the ingredients with their counts, the name and the time — and the selected one is described on the right:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Click a recipe, then **Cook**. If the bag holds the ingredients, they are taken, the products are added, the clock moves on by the recipe's time, and a cooking sound plays. Recipes that can be cooked now are listed first.
|
||
|
||
After cooking one ration from one wolf meat and two branches:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## The data
|
||
|
||
The recipe:
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"Kind": "recipe",
|
||
"Items": [
|
||
{
|
||
"Id": "recipe/wolf_meat_to_ration",
|
||
"Name": "recipe/wolf_meat_to_ration/name",
|
||
"Description": "recipe/wolf_meat_to_ration/desc",
|
||
"Type": "Cooking",
|
||
"Time": 15,
|
||
"Input": [ { "Id": "food/wolf_meat", "Count": 1 }, { "Id": "resource/branches", "Count": 2 } ],
|
||
"Output": [ { "Id": "food/ration", "Count": 1 } ]
|
||
}
|
||
]
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
and the item that teaches it:
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{ "Id": "recipe/wolf_meat_to_ration", "ItemType": "Recipe,Used", "ItemAction": "action/recipe/wolf_meat_to_ration" }
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The workbench shows only learned recipes of type `Cooking`. The item action that teaches this recipe is code in the mod (one class per recipe).
|
||
|
||
The kitchen scenario:
|
||
|
||
```scenario
|
||
scene: home_kitchen
|
||
priority: 5
|
||
---
|
||
select "A room equipped as a kitchen" key=rooms/kitchen/prompt
|
||
option "Leave" key=rooms/kitchen/opt_exit -> :exit
|
||
option "Cook" key=rooms/kitchen/opt_cook -> :cook
|
||
|
||
:cook
|
||
action toggle_cooking_workbench
|
||
end
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Cooking and Crafting
|
||
|
||
- **Cooking** shows the recipes the player has *learned*, of type `Cooking`, in a full-screen kitchen workbench; it opens with `toggle_cooking_workbench`; it belongs to Cthangover and counts rations.
|
||
- **Crafting** shows the recipes a *station* lists, without learning; any game opens any station with `craft.open station=…`; ingredients and products are checked before anything is taken.
|
||
|
||
Both take ingredients from the bag, give products and move the clock by the recipe's `Time`.
|
||
|
||
## If something goes wrong
|
||
|
||
1. **The workbench is empty.** No cooking recipe has been learned yet — use a recipe item from the bag first.
|
||
2. **Cook does nothing.** No recipe is selected, or an ingredient is missing.
|
||
3. **Rations cannot be eaten.** The ration has no item action; the panel only counts how long the supplies would last, and nothing eats them by itself yet.
