11Overview33A hearth, a pot, and a handful of hot coals are all an island crew needs to stay fed.55Cooking Fire is a cooking craft station in Windrose. The base cooking station in Windrose. Prepares meals, grog bases, and simple sailor fare, and anchors the four cooking extenders.77Station Info99PropertyValueCategoryCooking stationStation TypeBase stationMax Health4,500Within Bonfire RangeRequiredComfort Bonus+11111Construction Materials1212MaterialQuantityWoodx3Stonex31414Upgrade Extenders1515The Cooking Fire accepts the following upgrade extenders. Each extender widens the base station's craft list and must be placed inside the station's footprint. Extenders do not stack across multiple base stations.1717Cutting TableCookware ShelfSupplies RackFood Dryer1919What Each Extender Adds2121Each extender snaps inside the Cooking Fire footprint and widens the recipe list. They do not raise Max Health or Comfort on their own; the value is purely the recipes they unlock.2323ExtenderAddsCutting TableFillet and cut-meat prep, which gates a large share of the remaining cooked dishes.Cookware ShelfPots and pans recipes, broadening grog bases and stews.Supplies RackStored-supply recipes for longer voyage rations.Food DryerDrying recipes such as Dried Fruit, useful for shelf-stable travel food.2525Recipes Crafted2626The Cooking Fire handles recipes including Fish Stew, Cooked Fillet, Cooked Meat, Bread, Grilled Fowl, Fruit Platter, Ship's Ration, Soup, Basic Stew, and Dried Fruit.2828Comfort and Rested Buff3030The Cooking Fire contributes +1 to your base Comfort total, counted once for the Hearth category. A single fire source covers that category, so adding a second Bonfire or Charcoal Kiln in the same room does not raise the score further. Comfort feeds the Rested buff, which speeds Stamina regeneration by roughly two and a half times while active. Rested lasts about seven minutes at base and gains an extra minute of duration for every additional Comfort Level, so spreading unique Comfort sources (one fire per room, plus beds, decorations, and trophies) is what lengthens the buff. See Comfort System for the full breakdown.3232Placement Strategy3434The Cooking Fire is one of the two essential early-game stations (with the Workbench) that should go up within an hour of your first camp placement. It costs only Wood and Stone, provides a +1 Comfort bonus, and unlocks every core meal recipe. Extenders attach afterward to widen the recipe list; the base Cooking Fire on its own is enough to feed a small crew through the early islands.3636Tips3838Place the Cooking Fire under a roof early. Rain does not extinguish it, but indoor placement keeps the Comfort bonus stable through weather and lets the Cookware Shelf snap cleanly.Attach the Cutting Table first. It unlocks fish-fillet and cut-meat prep, which gates about a third of the remaining recipes.Cooked food applies short-duration stat buffs that do not exist on raw ingredients (Windrose has no hunger or thirst meter); cook before every long voyage.The Cooking Fire Comfort bonus does not stack with Bonfire or Charcoal Kiln fire sources. Place one fire per indoor room to maximize unique Comfort coverage.You can hold two cooked-food buffs at once, and each buff lasts about fifteen minutes from the base Cooking Fire tier. Higher cooking tiers extend that window, so an early Cutting Table then a Cookware Shelf pays off quickly for long voyages.Build cost is only 3 Wood and 3 Stone with a one second build time, so there is no reason to delay it. Pair it with the Workbench as your opening two stations.4040See Also4242Craft StationsBase BuildingCraftingCooking RecipesFood DryerBonfireCutting Table4444Details4646Properties4848PropertyValueMax Health4,5005050Build Cost5151Duration: 1s5353IngredientQuantityWoodx3Stonex35555Comfort5656CategoryBonusHearth+1
