Recipes and dishes share a shape: an output name and a time cost. The table sits first. Food tier list is the argument. This essay is how to read a row.
How to read this table
Output name and craft time. Stations live on equipment: pot, workbench, kiln, packing station. Recipes use ingredient classes. Any two end-crops can make Mixed Endfoods after Living Basics and Cooking I — 110 gold class sell, and it beats raw Endyam at 40. Substitutes fail when a row lists a specific item. Plus outputs are different items; a birthday 3× on the plus row can fail if you cooked the base row.
Unlock Cooking I on the Life tree. Tech path walks that line. Early game wants Mixed Endfoods once a pot exists. Gift Finder before you spend both weekly slots on experiments. Neutral food still pays 20 liking; loved plus pies pay the real meter toward 100. Hult still wants keys. Do not cook Cod at 170 gold into a worse gift than a vendor sale.
Factory recipes versus the pot
Carbide, alloys, and packing-station converts are factory recipes. Ranking them as food is a joke with a purpose: do not eat them. Fishy Generator eels are power on automation, not sashimi S. Biogas poop is power. Kelp vendors until a recipe asks — 40 gold and no minigame at Doloc Dock is the early loop. Fishing covers that cast. Century Eggs need Pickling I and an animal product you may not have because the pheasant is eating your pumpkin.
Related pages: items if you only have the output name, crops for the ingredient season, animals for milk and feathers, tech tree for the node. Processing bots can run pots later; they do not make a C soup into S. Farm build still wants the kitchen on a walkway. A pot behind a platform is a time cost you will pay every evening.
