RestlessCook

Valheim 1.0 cooking graph for Restless. Cook the haul, make meals, turn meals into feasts.

Hard-depends on RestlessCore, BepInExPack 5.4.2350, and Jötunn 2.30.0. Everyone on the server needs this mod (minor version match).

v0.1 covers Meadows through Ashlands. Deep North waits.

What it does

• Adds prepared meals that use cooked meat and fish, then feast boards assembled from those meals
• Rewrites existing protein recipes in place so they ask for the cooked cut instead of the raw one
• Reroutes Mushrooms Galore and the Ashlands Gourmet Bowl through Hidden Hills / Cinder sideboards so leftover vanilla produce still reaches a feast

Every prepared meal, custom or vanilla, still reaches at least one feast. Existing vanilla feasts stay valid sinks.

Recipes live in cook.yaml in the RestlessQoL repo. This package does not replace RestlessCore.

Changelog

Changes are listed newest first. Unreleased describes current source changes that are not assigned to a new tagged release yet.

0.3.2

• Cookbook controls use the shared UI kit. The layout is unchanged.
• Accessible chests count in full, including the last item and a chest this client does not own. Leave one does not hold kitchen ingredients back.
• A rack or oven meal ordered on its own is marked ready when that item finishes, and that stack stays reserved.
• Overlapping preparation tables do not collect the same rack or oven. Queued oven ingredients count in the plan.
• A cauldron job pauses when the fire is out or the station cannot be used, and resumes without paying again.
• Destroying the preparation table drops the pantry and unpaid inputs.
• Requires Core 0.2.3.

0.3.1

• Refreshed the Cookbook introduction and moved the detailed food catalogue into linked, generated recipe guides.
• Cookbook sections, recipe density, preparation labels and hover are easier to read.
• Kilns, smelters and the other workshop machines are no longer kitchen stations. The stone oven stays with cooking.
• Kitchen orders count and pull stock from nearby piles.
• Updated the package icon to the shared Restless ecosystem artwork, with a matching ring size, centred artwork and transparent background.
• Requires Core 0.2.2.

0.3.0

• Added larger dish portraits and filters for feasts, meals, ingredients and meads.

• Requires Core 0.2.1.

0.2.0

• The food preparation table opens the Cookbook and manages kitchen orders.
