Documentation Freshness (2026-04-19)

• This page has been reviewed against the current terminal/server build and the latest portal documentation surfaces.
• For exact live catalogs and tuning values, use the source-driven portal compendiums:
  • /bestiary
  • /spell-omnibus
  • /technique-omnibus
  • /item-omnibus
  • /recipe-omnibus
• In-game references are available through the W wiki menu (including generated spell/component compendiums).
• World/floor map reference is in-game via P; the website map page is intentionally hidden.
• Multiplayer host/deployment details live in docs/multiplayer_server_wiki.md and docs/server_portal_setup.md.

Current Build Delta (2026-04-19)

• Deep floors now have a depth-scaled chance to spawn Lizard Kingdom Gates (FeatureLizardKingdomGate).
• Using a Lizard Kingdom Gate enters Lizard Kingdom side sites (SiteLizardKingdom) with lizard society-biased populations.
• Lizard Kingdom floors use dedicated cave themes (Outer Warrens -> Royal Sinkhalls) and integrate with map/examine/senses/clairvoyance text.
• This update is live in terminal mode and server mode; hosted clients inherit the behavior from the game build.

This is the implementation-level cooking reference for the current Go terminal build.

It covers:

• campfire and cookpot access
• ingredient sources (hunting + gathering + farming)
• meal composition rules
• food placement/bait usage

1. Access and Controls

• e to harvest corpses and gather field resources
• r to open workshop
• campfire or sanctum unlocks cookpot composition
• inventory food prompt supports:
• consume now
• place as bait on current tile

2. Ingredient Sources

Hunting

• corpse harvest -> raw meat stacks by enemy family
• larger carcasses can yield Bone Shards

Gathering

• fungus -> Fungal Cap (+spore chance)
• mold -> Mold Filament, Adhesive Paste (+seed chance)
• water -> Water Flask (+seed chance)

Farming

• sanctum plots produce fungal/herb/ashroot lines

Loot/Crafting

• shelving/chests and recipes can feed secondary ingredient flow

3. Cooking Modes

A. Direct food consumption

Consumables can restore:

• hunger
• HP
• stamina/focus
• ward/regen/invisibility/muffle
• toxicity relief or toxicity load

B. Cookpot composition (free mix)

• choose up to 5 ingredients
• mix profile is derived from ingredient categories
• result is a generated meal item with combined effects

Core influences include:

• meat + water -> stronger heal/nutrition
• fungus + herbs -> sustain and focus balance
• mold components -> stronger utility/toxicity interactions

4. Mold and Adhesive in Cooking/Support Craft

Mold Filament and Adhesive Paste are survival-core resources:

• medicine/salve preparation
• trap and security kit construction
• alchemy blends and stability binders

Mold is treated as a gather-and-craft resource, not a direct player food line.

5. Bait and Food Placement

Food can be placed on tile instead of consumed.

Use cases:

• lure hungry enemies
• stage poison bait when toxicity-bearing food is used
• redirect pressure away from sanctum lanes

6. Practical Survival Routing

1. track and hunt
2. harvest carcasses/features
3. convert at campfire/sanctum
4. stock movement food + emergency medicine
5. place bait where tactical redirection is valuable
