Dev Blog #13: Cooking, Brewing, and Cheese Making

Welcome to Dev Blog #13! Three new professions just dropped, cooking, brewing and cheese making, all here to give players something fun and rewarding to sink their teeth into.

At a glance

  • Cooking: three new stations and dishes that beat vanilla food
  • Brewing: juices, brews and aged drinks, plus custom recipes from the store
  • Cheese making: fresh, slightly aged and aged cheeses, some genuinely rare

Cooking

Cooking comes with three new stations:

  • The oven is your go-to for baking. Load it with fuel, throw in your ingredients, and let it turn out the best baked goods.
  • The worktop doubles as a cutting board, for slicing ingredients with a knife, and a mixing board, for working up all kinds of dough.
  • The cooking pot is for the more complex recipes: ones that call for custom crops and processed ingredients like butter or spices.

The harder the recipe, the bigger the payoff. Some of the tougher dishes outdo vanilla food entirely and give far more saturation.

That makes cooking a real business opportunity too, so start brainstorming names for your restaurant now.

Brewing

Brewing lets you craft all kinds of alcoholic drinks, brews and juices:

  1. Crush fruit into juice.
  2. Brew it in a cauldron with other ingredients.
  3. If you're patient, age it into a proper booze.

We've already added plenty of recipes to enjoy and roleplay around. Got an idea for your own recipe with custom effects? Grab a custom brew recipe from the server store, and we'll work with you to bring it to life exactly how you want it.

Cheese making

The smallest of the three, cheese making works a lot like brewing but uses milk and yeast instead.

Cheeses fall into three categories: fresh, slightly aged and aged. Within each there's a wide range of cheese types, some common, some genuinely rare. There's a real luck factor to it, so who ends up with the rarest cheese on the server is anyone's guess.

The bigger picture

These three systems are all about making day-to-day life on Pactoria more fun: more to learn, more business to build, and more reasons to stick around and master something new. Anyone willing to put in the extra effort will be rewarded for it.

So, which one will you choose?

See you in the next one!
