SnuggsPuggs: Added basic reporter guide with guides to tools the overview how to use their console amd also gave them some fun ways to roleplay as reporter cause reporter can feel a little weird at first.

So, you decided to annoy sec all day and ask for interviews well good for you.

= Overview =
You won't need to prepare for that much to be ready for this job
except think of fun articles to make and always be on the lookout for drama.

= Tools =
Sadly, there is no specific reporter tool though there is a microphone so you can use it to interview people and help enhance
the Roleplay.

=News Manager Console=
[[File:News station.png|450px]]

That is the news console this is how you post and make articles.
Writing articles is simple if you're a good writer. if you're not then still try even the shortest articles can be memorable

=Ways to Roleplay as Reporter=

Getting confused on what to do there's a lot to do as reporter your just not thinking wide.
You could always host a gameshow that's a classic though it's kind of hard to setup so maybe not if you're just trying to learn.
Or maybe find out about a criminal case and start posting news about every little detail you get your greedy hands on.
But being a classic is nice to just interviewing people reporting on normal stuff. that's always good to.

Chef

2026-08-18T22:46:23Z

SnuggsPuggs: What I added to the chef guide is deep fryer, stove, added chicken to animals, removed cqc, changed make sure everyone is fed slightly, changed some stuff for butchers cleaver and chef knife, added a guide too more tools, added some help to the cookbook, changed Mechanical difficulty, and last changed the last part of introduction.

{{Template:Role_card
|title = Chef

== Introduction ==
So, you want to prepare food for the station? Well then chef is the role for you.

Your main job is keeping the station fed, how you do so and what you prepare is entirely up to you.

Some people go for more menus others just hand out food to go.

== Challenge ==
Mechanical difficulty: Medium

Roleplay difficulty: Low

The chef is not a very demanding role in terms of mechanics or roleplay; it is probably one of the best roles for new players as you will get a chance to be familiar with the controls. While you can do a lot of roleplays as a chef it is not mandatory.

== Cooking ==
This is the meat and potatoes of the job
[[File:Counter.png|thumb|A good chef usually has something on the counter.]]
For a repository of recipes would recommend [https://ss14.recipes/ SS14 Cookbook], The recipes can sometimes be wrong if they are switch it to delta V in the cookbook.

=== Tools ===
This is all your gadgets.
Most your gadgets are easy to know like the rolling. Then there are handheld juicer, mortar and pestle, and skimmer.
The handheld juicer can be used for juicing various fruits and veggies so you can use to make drinks and other stuff.
Mortar and pestle are used for grinding up wheat into flour but really you just use the reagent grinder.
Last but not least the skimmer you can use it to scoop out impurities.

====== Butcher's Cleaver/Chef's Knife ======
These knives are used for cutting up things.

Like meat dough bread and etc.

They can also be used for defense unless you see something twice your size its best to just hide in freezer at that point.
[[File:The reagent grinder and hot food cart.png|thumb|The reagent grinder and hot food cart. ]]
====== Reagent Grinder ======
The Reagent Grinder allows you to grind or juice a huge variety of things.

Usually, you will use this to grind wheat into flour for making dough or grinding cloth into fiber, there are a lot more options than this but those are the two big ones.

==== The Microwave ====
This is your most versatile tool

If you need to create multiple multiple recipes at once then you can add the cooking time together, for example you can cook up to 6 buns at once if you put it in the microwave
[[File:Chefvend.png|thumb|The chef vends and the chef's locker. ]]

==== The Stove ====
A newly added cooking device

You will need the stove for a lot of things and sadly it is not mapped fully yet so make sure to bug science for your stove so you can make all the cake in the world.
==== Mousetraps ====
The mousetraps are able to kill small creatures when activated, A good chef would recommend deploying them under your workspace to keep mice from eating you're in-progress food. But beware

==== Deep Fryer ====
So, you're ready to start growing your American fast-food chain well get your oils out because you'll need any one of them
the three oils you can use are corn oil, olive oil, and ghee.
There are three stages too cooking in the deep fryer. Only two of it is really edible and that when the stuff your frying gets crispy or deep fried anymore and it will become a burnt mess.
Also last note you can put almost anything in the deep fryer have fun.

====== The Cow, Goat, and Chicken ======
[[File:Dinnerware, happy honk and grill.png|thumb|The dinnerware vendor. ]]
You can alt+click on them with some kind of container to fill it with milk if they are not starving. If they are hungry then you can feed them with wheat from botany. But if you're really lucky you can get a chicken. but they are only really good for a few recipes.

==== The Vending Machines ====
The chef vend contains a large amount of ingredients that you can use to cook all kinds of food.

The dinnerware vendor contains most of your tools and a wide variety of plates and utensils.

If botany is not helping and you need more ingredients, than you can order a chef vend restock crate from the service request computer.

==== The Hot Food Cart ====
This is a cart that has a large storage that you can fill with food, this is an incredible roleplaying tool as you can go around and talk to the different departments to serve food. I would strongly recommend using this once you have made a good amount of food so that you can go around and talk to people.
[[File:Freezing.png|thumb|A great way to kill monkeys and kobolds is letting them freeze to death. ]]

=== Make Sure Everyone is fed ===
Make sure to prep all kinds of food like cotton, meat-based foods, and ect.

Your main job is keeping the station fed, how you do so and what you prepare is entirely up to you.

Mechanical difficulty: Low

Roleplay difficulty: Very Low

For a repository of recipes I would reccomend [https://ss14.recipes/ SS14 Cookbook], I do not know if this site is fully accurate to Byrd as I only make burgers. If it is not accurate then you can use the in game guidebook.

=== Tools ===

====== Butcher's Cleaver/Chef's Knife ======
These knives are used for cutting up things.
[[File:The reagent grinder and hot food cart.png|thumb|The reagent grinder and hot food cart. ]]
The Chef's knicke and Butcher's Cleaver are very dangerous weapons, make sure they do not fall into the wrong hands. For more information see the 'Close Quarters Cooking' section.

====== Reagent Grinder ======
The Reagent Grinder allows you to grind or juice a huge variety of things.

Usually you will use this to grind wheat into flour for making dough or grinding cloth into fiber, there are a lot more options then this but those are the two big ones.

=== Something to keep in mind ===
Remember that the crew has a variety of dietary requirements, some need to eat meat, some need to eat cloth, make sure there is some food for everyone.

== Close Quarters Cooking ==
If you are in a kitchen then you gain access to Close Quarters Cooking, an immensely powerful martial art that makes an experienced chef almost unbeatable while they are in the kitchen.

=== Intents ===
In order to effectively use close quarters cooking you need to understand the three intents.

Harm: Left click, damages the target.

Shove: Right click, shoves the target away.

Grab: Control+left click, grabs the target.

=== Combos ===
The power of Close Quarters Cooking is in its combos, to do a combo perform the attacks listed in order.

==== Slam ====
Grab and then harm

knocks a standing target down and deals blunt damage.

==== Kick ====
Harm twice

Knocks the target away and deals blunt and stamana damage. If they are out of stamina then it puts them to sleep.

==== Restrain ====
Grab twice

Restrains and knocks down the target, dealing stamina damage.

Shove then grab

Deals stamina damage and steals whatever the target is holding in their active hand.

This will make you get up instantly while putting the target on the floor.
