Cooking is a game mechanic in Coral Island that allows the player to cook a variety of consumable items. These items can be eaten by the player, sold, or given as gifts to other characters.
Cooking becomes available after the player upgrades their farmhouse with a kitchen. The player can use the recipes they have learned to turn simple ingredients into dishes or attempt to cook them manually.
Cooking mechanics[]
If the player has obtained the recipe for a dish as well as the necessary utensils and ingredients, the dish can be prepared automatically by the selecting the recipe from the cooking menu. Ingredients can be brought in inventory or stored in global chest.
Some of the recipes can be obtained mainly from reaching certain heart level with certain characters. If the recipe hasn't been learned, a dish can still be prepared by manually selecting the correct utensils and ingredients in the cooking menu and completing a brief mini-game. Successfully cooking manually will learn the recipe if it's not been learned.
Once the ingredients and utensils are selected and the dish started, a bar with a slider and a highlighted section will appear on the screen. The player is required to click or interact when the slider is in the highlighted area to successfully complete the dish.
Any combination of incorrect ingredients or utensils or failure of the mini-game when manually cooking will result in a failed dish. Currently only base quality of failed dish will be obtained regardless the quality of ingredients used.
Cooking utensils[]
To be able to cook certain recipes player needs utensils. Required items can be bought from Socket and Pan:
Ingredients[]
Cooking ingredients can be obtained in a variety of ways: by farming, scavenging, or fishing. Some dishes require the player to use the exact ingredient, others require an ingredient from a certain group of ingredients (e.g., any egg, any vegetable, or any fish). Some of these groups match the in-game groups used for artisan products and gifting, other are detailed below. Black honey does not count as honey for cooking.
The quality of ingredients used affects the quality of the dish. Higher quality dish affects the selling price and longer duration of the buff.
