A hearth, a pot, and a handful of hot coals are all an island crew needs to stay fed.

The 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.
The 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.
The 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.
Place 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 restores more hunger than raw ingredients and applies short-duration Rested-style buffs; 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.
