Overview
The Oven is a dedicated cooking station in Starsand Island that handles baked goods. Unlike the Campfire and Gas Stove, which share the same pool of 80 dish recipes, the Oven has its own set of 8 exclusive recipes that cannot be prepared on any other station. These recipes cover cookies, cakes, toast, and roasted items.
The Oven fills a gap in the cooking system. Players who only use the Campfire and Gas Stove will miss out on several high-value dishes and two recipes that grant unique buffs tied to luck-based minigames. Building an Oven is not just cosmetic; it meaningfully expands your cooking options.
How to Obtain
There are several ways to get the Oven. The most straightforward method is purchasing the blueprint, but exploration and progression also provide access.
Purchasing the Blueprint
The Oven Blueprint is sold at the Aureleaf Kitchen in Starsand Town for 2,500 Coins. The shop is run by Aurelis and is open from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily. After purchasing the blueprint, craft the Oven at your Worktable and place it on your property.
The Aureleaf Kitchen also sells the Gas Stove Blueprint (1,000 Coins) and Juicer Blueprint (550 Coins). The Oven Blueprint is the most expensive cooking station blueprint available.
Alternative Sources
If you do not want to spend 2,500 Coins, the Oven can be obtained through other means:
Source | Details |

Intermediate Modern Retreat Layout | Purchasing this house layout from Alex's workshop includes a built-in Oven as part of the home interior. |

Oven vs. Other Cooking Stations
The three main cooking stations in the game serve different roles. The Campfire and Gas Stove overlap completely in terms of recipes, while the Oven occupies its own niche.
Feature | Oven | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Recipes | 80 dishes | 80 dishes (same as Campfire) | 7 baked goods (exclusive) |
Blueprint Cost | Free (starter) | 1,000 Coins | 2,500 Coins |
Source | Starting recipe | Aureleaf Kitchen / Exploration | |
Food Types | Soups, stir-fries, stews, skewers, noodles | Same as Campfire | Cookies, cakes, toast, roasted items |
Buff Recipes | 18 buff dishes | 18 buff dishes (same) | 2 buff recipes |
Parallel Cooking | Yes (build multiples) | Yes (build multiples) | Yes (build multiples) |
The Oven does not replace the Campfire or Gas Stove. It is a supplementary station that covers a category of food the other two cannot make. For a fully equipped kitchen, you need at least one Campfire or Gas Stove, one Juicer, and one Oven.
All Oven Recipes
The Oven cooks 8 exclusive recipes, all categorized as baked goods. Birthday Cake was added in the v0.3.4862 patch (March 20, 2026). Two of these recipes grant temporary buffs related to luck-based activities. The remaining five are standard stamina-recovery dishes.

Tips
Build multiple Ovens if you plan to bake in bulk. Like other cooking stations, each Oven cooks one dish at a time, and cooking takes real in-game time. Having 2 to 3 Ovens running simultaneously saves a lot of waiting.
Set up ingredient pipelines. Most Oven recipes require processed ingredients (Flour, Sugar, Cooking Oil, Soy Sauce, Fine Salt). Keep your Separator, Brewing Barrel, and Charcoal Kiln stocked with raw materials so you always have ingredients on hand.
Grow Wheat and Beetroot/Sugarcane early. Flour and Sugar are needed for 5 of the 8 Oven recipes. Planting these crops early and running them through the Separator ensures a steady supply.
Save Prosperity Cakes for scratch card sessions. The Big Winner buff lasts 120 seconds. Buy several scratch cards at once, eat the cake, then scratch them all during the buff window.
Clay Oven Chicken is the Oven's money maker. At 493g sell price, it is the most profitable Oven recipe and worth cooking in batches for regular income.
