If you want to designate a stockpile as the destination for your kitchen's output, be sure that the number of barrels allowed in the stockpile is lower than the number of squares in the stockpile. The size of a prepared food stack varies according to the sum of all ingredient stacks with large input stacks your kitchen will create a stack of prepared meals that is too big to fit into a barrel or pot (capacity 60). The switch for allowing or banning prepared meals in a stockpile is displayed underneath the right column and toggled by pressing the u key. Individual types of prepared meals are not listed in the middle column or right column of the stockpile menu for the Food category.
#DWARF FORTRESS TRADING MEALS SERIES#
To enforce variety, you can create a series of single-tile, barrel-less "feeder" stockpiles, each of which allows a different type of (cookable) food, all set to "give" to your kitchen. Unfortunately, when left up to your cook, you'll likely end up with an endless string of tallow roasts. Ideally, you want to combine four different ingredients in each meal to maximize the chance of a dwarf experiencing a happy thought due to a preference. You can then use work orders to limit the number of prepared meals that will be created to ensure this stock is not itself rapidly drained by experienced cooks. One (relatively safe) method to include a limited amount of alcohol in your meals is to create a small (one-or-two tile) food stockpile next to your kitchen that only allows types of alcohol that your fortress has in large quantity, and set it to "take" from your larger drink stockpile and "give" to your kitchen(s). Of course, you then need to ensure that you have enough alcohol left for your dwarves to drink cooked alcohol does not count as drink. It is assumed that since all dwarves have a preference for at least one type of alcohol, cooking with alcohol improves the chance of happy thoughts from eating. Note that any cooking jobs in progress will be canceled if you disallow one of the cook's chosen ingredients.Ĭooking with alcohol usually results in large stacks of prepared meals, because alcohol typically has large stack sizes. Once you allow or forbid the cooking or brewing of some kind of product, it will be used (or not) accordingly. Every cookable and/or brewable item in your fortress will be listed. To suppress the cooking of certain items (such as booze, seeds or tallow) go to the status screen ( z key) and then go to Kitchen to toggle (red is forbid).
Additionally, cooks seem to prefer some of the worst ingredients (single units of low-value materials like tallow).
For example, your dwarves may happily cook away all the seeds you need for planting, or use all your booze as ingredients, a good way to create fun in the early stages of the fortress. You may want to adjust what your dwarves are allowed to cook. However, a single plump helmet can be cooked with ten dwarven wine, ten dwarven milk, and ten dwarven syrup, to make 31 +Plump Helmet Roast+ without issue. With a greater variety of materials in the prepared meal, there is a higher probability a dwarf will get something they like, giving the eater a happy thought.Įasy meals will give more experience per ingredient and result in twice as much hauling after cooking.Īt least one stack going into a prepared meal must be a solid item - if you have only booze, milk, and syrup, your cooking jobs will get canceled. They take a bit longer to produce and result in less experience gained for your cook per ingredient. Lavish meals result in larger stacks of higher-value food.
