Coconut Oil is an Uncommon cooking ingredient in Windrose. It is a processed product, crafted at a refining station rather than gathered, and it feeds several mid tier cooking recipes that rely on tropical produce. Coconut Oil sits in the same recipe family as Flax Oil and Vinegar; all three are Cutting Table refinements built from a single base ingredient.

Recipe
Coconut Oil is produced at the Cutting Table, the upgrade station attached to the Cooking Fire. The recipe consumes four Coconut per unit and produces a single Coconut Oil. The craft timer is short, in line with its sister oil Flax Oil, so Coconut Oil is usually batch produced in sessions of six to ten units alongside other Cutting Table refinements. The Cutting Table only works inside the Cooking Fire bonfire range, so site it next to the fire.

How to Obtain the Ingredient
Coconut is a ground plant in the Farming System. Unlike Seedbed crops, Coconut trees place directly on flat terrain without needing Fertile Soil. A small orchard of four or five Coconut trees at the base produces enough Coconut throughput for ongoing refinement without routing new gathering time into the loop.
Wild Coconut trees are also common along Coastal Jungle beaches; harvesting them during early exploration runs is the fastest way to stockpile the first few units of Coconut Oil before the Cutting Table is built.
Uses
Cooking recipes that combine tropical produce with meat or fish. Coconut Oil appears in several mid tier dishes at the Cooking Fire and Cutting Table.
Some late game desserts and drinks list Coconut Oil as a secondary ingredient.
It stacks to 20 and weighs little, making it a convenient pantry item to carry on longer ship expeditions.
It rotates into the same neutral oil slot as Flax Oil in several dishes, so the choice often comes down to which stockpile is larger at the time.
Farming Tips
Plant Coconut trees on a flat pad near the Cutting Table so harvested Coconuts can be queued into Coconut Oil in the same trip.
Coconut based cooking is most valuable before long sea expeditions, because the dishes often have generous stack sizes and keep their buffs over substantial travel distances.
If the Cutting Table is busy with other crafts during a food prep session, stockpile raw Coconuts first and run all Coconut Oil units in one dedicated batch to avoid thrashing the station queue.
