Label: Cooked Food is a small cloth label used to mark the contents of a player-built Storage container in Windrose. Each label has a printed icon, in this case the Cooked Food icon, that hangs from a chest, barrel, or crate so the contents can be identified at a glance without opening the container.
In-Game Description
A sign for organized captains who want to remember which treasure is stashed in which chest.
How to Use
Walk up to a placed Storage container and select the Attach Label option from the radial menu. Pick the label from the inventory and it snaps onto the chest. Removing or replacing the label is free. The label is purely visual; it does not lock the container's contents to any item type, but it makes a base with many chests far easier to navigate.
How to Craft
Crafted at a Workbench from 1 Coarse Fabric per label. Coarse Fabric is processed from Flax Fiber at a Loom, which makes labels essentially free to mass-produce once a flax farm is running.
Tips
Stockpile a stack of every label icon at once. Crafting individual labels in the middle of organising a base is fiddly, and the cost is small enough that having the full set ready saves time.
Group labelled containers in straight rows. Labels read better as a wall of icons than as scattered marks across a room.
Labels persist through container moves. Picking up a labelled chest and replacing it elsewhere keeps the label attached, so a base reorganisation does not require re-labelling.

Typical Contents
The Cooked Food icon marks the larder chest where prepared meals are kept, separate from raw ingredients so a crew can grab buffs and healing food quickly before a voyage.
Stored Item | Notes |
|---|---|
Cooked meals | Finished dishes that restore health or grant buffs |
Stews and soups | Prepared food made at a cooking station |
Travel rations | Portable cooked food stocked for long expeditions |
The label does not enforce what goes inside; it is a visual aid only. Pairing the icon with a matching Storage chest simply keeps a multi-chest base readable.
Other Storage Labels
Every storage icon is crafted the same way and works on any Storage container. The full label family is gathered on the Storage Labels page, summarized below.
Label | Marks |
|---|---|
Potions, reagents and alchemy ingredients | |
Armor, cloth, leather and cosmetics | |
Prepared meals and rations | |

Progression Notes
Label: Cooked Food is part of the crafting progression chain rather than a standalone collectible. Use the recipe, station, and ingredient rows to trace what unlocks it, what it consumes, and which linked upgrades or materials should be prepared before crafting it.
