Preparing for batch cutting

Gather all the items you want to cut and place them near your cutting board. Having a stack of ingredients ready speeds up your workflow. Ensure your kitchen knife is equipped and in good condition.

Cutting workflow

Place the first item on the cutting board by right-clicking while holding it. Equip your knife and left-click the item to cut it. The results will drop immediately. Without removing the board, place your next item on it and repeat the process.

Managing knife durability

The kitchen knife has limited durability and will eventually break with repeated use. Monitor its condition as you work through multiple items. Plan to repair or replace your knife if you're doing extensive food preparation.

Organizing results

As cut items drop around the board, they can scatter. Consider cutting near a hopper or collection system to gather results automatically. This is especially useful when processing large quantities of ingredients for cooking or further crafting.

Speed tips

Stay close to the cutting board to minimize travel time between cuts. Keep extra knives in your inventory so you can swap them out if one breaks mid-session.
