Set Up Your First Kitchen Station

Gather Materials and Craft a Stove

Begin by collecting the materials needed to craft a Stove block. Once crafted, place it on a solid block in your base—this will be the heat source for your cooking operation.

Add Fuel and Test

Right-click the Stove to open its interface. Insert fuel into the bottom slot. The Stove will begin burning and producing heat. You'll see visual feedback like smoke or flames indicating it's active.

Place Your First Cookware

Craft a Pan, Pot, or Bamboo Steamer. Place it directly on top of the lit Stove—the cookware will sit flush on the Stove's surface and draw heat from it. Right-click the cookware to open its cooking slots.

Start Cooking

Add ingredients into the available slots. Depending on your cookware:

• Pan: Fry individual meats or combine multiple items for special recipes
• Pot: Blend up to six ingredients into a single stew or soup
• Bamboo Steamer: Gently steam up to four foods separately

Watch the progress bar fill as your food cooks. Once complete, collect your finished meal and any byproducts.
