How to Bake Large Batches in the Oven

While stove-top cookware focuses on smaller recipes and combined dishes, the Oven is designed for high-volume baking. It works completely separate from your Stoves and processes large stacks of food in one block.

Setting Up and Fueling the Oven

1. Place the Oven block directly on the floor of your base—it runs independently and does not mount onto a Stove.

2. Right-click the Oven to open its interface and place fuel into its dedicated fuel slot.

3. Load your raw food across any of the eight separate cooking slots inside the menu to begin baking.

Baking Full Stacks and Scaling XP

Unlike stations limited to single items per slot, the Oven can bake up to a full stack of food in each of its eight slots. Keep two mechanics in mind when queuing bulk food:

• Independent Slots: All eight slots operate separately, letting you bake eight different types of food simultaneously or fill the entire Oven with bulk batches.
• Scaled Time and XP: The Oven automatically adjusts bake times and XP drops based on the stack size in each slot, ensuring both cooking duration and experience rewards scale properly for large stacks.
