11Overview22The Campfire is the starter cooking station in Starsand Island. It is one of the first crafting stations the player builds during the opening tutorial, and it handles basic roasted and grilled recipes throughout the entire game. Even after unlocking the more advanced Gas Stove, the Campfire remains useful for producing simple buff foods that require minimal ingredients. Its low material cost, small footprint, and zero fuel requirement make it a practical station to keep active at all times.44How to Obtain77The Campfire blueprint is unlocked automatically during the introductory quest line. After the player arrives on the island and claims their Hopeland property, the tutorial prompts them to build a Campfire as part of learning the crafting system. This happens within the first hour of gameplay, making the Campfire one of the earliest crafting stations available.99Crafting Recipe1111The Campfire is crafted at Worktable I. The recipe uses materials that are immediately available on the island surface.1313RecipeKey IngredientsEnergy/HPBuffBaked Potato1x Potato+33 EnergyNoneChilled Twilight Salad2x Twilight Succulent+29 EnergyNoneSmashed Cucumber2x Cucumber+80 EnergyNoneMushroom Soup2x Moondew Shroom+45 EnergyNoneGrilled Mushrooms1x Mushroom+12 EnergyNoneGrilled Fish3x Fish Fillet+50 HPNoneGrilled Chicken Wings1x Fowl, 1x Fine Salt+68 HPNoneGrilled Mushroom Skewers1x Sunveil/Moondew/Mirthshroom, 1x Fine Salt+86 HPNoneFried Egg2x Egg+60 EnergyWatering MasterySoup Dumplings2x Meat Bites, 3x Flour+55 EnergyForest's GiftChicken Stewed with Mushrooms4x Fowl, 3x Mushroom, 1x Salt+105 EnergyBattle SpiritSteamed Fish4x Fish Fillet, 2x Leek+77 EnergyNever SkunkedVeggie Noodles3x Flour, 2x Vegetable Juice+50 EnergyField Prep MasteryMirthshroom Soup2x Mirthshroom+45 EnergyCreamy SeedsSeaweed Egg Drop Soup2x Wakame, 2x Egg+89 EnergyScavengerPlain Noodles4x Flour+39 EnergyNoneGolden Fried Rice2x Egg, 4x Rice+115 EnergyNoneStir-Fried Water Spinach3x Water Spinach+58 EnergyNone1515This is a selection of common Campfire recipes. The Campfire and Gas Stove share the same recipe pool, so all stove recipes listed in the Cooking Recipes article can also be made at the Campfire. The full list includes 70+ dishes covering everything from simple snacks to complex multi-ingredient meals.1616All three materials can be gathered within minutes of starting the game. There is no profession unlock or quest prerequisite beyond the initial tutorial prompt.1818Available Recipes2020The Campfire handles all basic grilled and roasted recipes. These recipes typically require a single primary ingredient (sometimes two) and produce food items that restore health, stamina, or provide short-duration buffs. Below is a selection of the most common Campfire recipes.2222RecipeIngredientsEffectGrilled FishRaw Fish x1Restores moderate healthGrilled Chicken WingsRaw Chicken x1Restores moderate health and staminaRoasted PotatoPotato x1Restores moderate staminaGrilled Mushroom SkewersMushroom x2Restores small health, minor speed buffRoasted CornCorn x1Restores moderate staminaGrilled ShrimpRaw Shrimp x2Restores moderate healthRoasted Sweet PotatoSweet Potato x1Restores moderate stamina, small warmth buffCampfire ToastBread x1, Butter x1Restores small health and stamina2424Recipes range from simple single-ingredient dishes like Grilled Mushrooms to complex multi-ingredient meals like Yangzhou Fried Rice. See the full Cooking Recipes article for the complete list.2525Cooking Mechanics2727To cook at the Campfire, interact with it and select a recipe from the available list. Place the required ingredients from your inventory into the input slots, then confirm the recipe. Each recipe has a real-time cooking duration (typically 5 to 15 seconds) during which the player must wait near the Campfire. A progress bar above the station shows the remaining cook time.2929Once cooking is complete, the finished food appears in the output slot. Collect it to add it to your inventory. The Campfire processes one recipe at a time; you cannot queue multiple recipes in a single Campfire.3131Batch Cooking3333While a single Campfire only handles one recipe at a time, you can place multiple Campfires on your property and run them simultaneously. This is the most efficient way to cook large batches of food, especially before major exploration trips or seasonal events that require food stockpiles. There is no limit to the number of Campfires you can own.3535Placement3737The Campfire can be placed on any open ground tile on your Hopeland property. It can also be placed at designated campfire spots in the Moonlit Forest and other outdoor areas. Unlike indoor stations such as the Gas Stove, the Campfire is an outdoor-only station. Placing it under a roof or inside a building interior is not possible.3939The Campfire has a small footprint (roughly 2x2 tiles) and does not interfere with nearby stations or furniture. Place it near your storage chests for easy ingredient access, or near your farm plots if you frequently cook harvested crops.4141Comparison to Gas Stove4343The Gas Stove is the upgraded cooking station that unlocks more complex recipes including soups, stir-fries, stews, curries, and desserts. The table below highlights the key differences between the two stations.4545FeatureCampfireGas StoveRecipe typesGrilled, roastedAll types (soups, stir-fries, stews, curries, desserts, plus grilled and roasted)Ingredient complexity1-2 ingredients2-5 ingredientsBuff potencyMinor buffsModerate to strong buffsPlacementOutdoor onlyIndoor (kitchen)UnlockTutorial (automatic)Intermediate Crafter profession tierFuel costNoneNone4747The Gas Stove does not replace the Campfire. Many players keep both stations active because Campfire recipes are faster to prepare and use fewer ingredients. For daily meals and quick health restoration while exploring, the Campfire is often more practical than cooking a complex multi-ingredient Gas Stove dish.4848Buff Foods Strategy5050Campfire buff foods are useful throughout the entire game, not just the early hours. Grilled Mushroom Skewers provide a speed buff, Roasted Sweet Potato grants warmth for cold weather exploration, and Grilled Chicken Wings restore both health and stamina. Keeping a stack of these simple foods in your inventory ensures you always have on-demand recovery without needing to craft complex dishes.5252For players focused on the Camp System, the Campfire is the only cooking station available at remote camp sites. When exploring far from Hopeland, placing a temporary Campfire at a camp lets you cook food from freshly gathered ingredients on the spot.5454Tips5656Build at least two Campfires early on. Running them in parallel lets you cook twice as fast, which matters when preparing food for a long exploration run.Keep a dedicated chest next to your Campfire stocked with raw fish, potatoes, and mushrooms. These are the three most common Campfire ingredients and having them pre-sorted saves time.Do not sell raw ingredients that can be cooked. A Roasted Potato sells for more than a raw Potato, and a Grilled Fish sells for more than a Raw Fish. The Campfire adds value to every ingredient it processes.Use Campfire food as your standard daily meals and save Gas Stove dishes for boss fights, timed challenges, and seasonal contests where stronger buffs matter.Place a Campfire next to your fishing spot. Cook fish immediately after catching them to free up inventory space and produce ready-to-use food.The Campfire does not consume fuel or degrade with use. Once built, it works indefinitely with no maintenance cost.5858Related Articles6060CookingGas StoveCooking RecipesCrafting StationsCamp SystemStamina
