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.
Challenge
Mechanical difficulty: Low
Roleplay difficulty: Very 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 roleplay as a chef it is not mandatory.
Cooking
This is the meat and potatoes of the job
For a repository of recipes I would reccomend 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.
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.
The Microwave
This is your most verstile tool
If you need to create multiple multiple recipies 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
Mousetraps
The mousetraps are able to kill small creatures when activated, i would reccomend deploying them under your workspace to keep mice from eating your in progress food.
The Cow/Goat
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.
The Vending Machines
The chefvend 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 then you can order a chefvend 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 reccomend using this once you have made a good amount of food so that you can go around and talk to people.
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.
