In ARK: Survival Evolved survivors are able to cook various standard Recipes in a Cooking Pot or an Industrial Cooker.
This page does not describe custom recipe creation, which is dependant on a survivor's Crafting Skill. For more information, see Custom Consumable.
Benefits[]
Recipes can be used to:
- craft dishes that grant temporary buffs or useful effects. For example, Medical Brew and Enduro Stew.
- make dyes to customize many items, creatures and structures. For example, Black Dye.
- create special food for taming or feeding animals. For example, the various Kibbles and Sweet Vegetable Cake.
Usage[]
These recipes are not a learned skill, require no experience or engrams, nor do survivor stats affect the outcome. Any survivor can cook any of these recipes at any time with nothing more than the cooker of choice, and the required ingredients. The ingame recipe item is not required, it is only an ingame means of providing a list of the ingredients for some of these recipes. That is, not all of these recipes have an associated ingame recipe item: for example, Sweet Vegetable Cake.
Multiple recipes can cook concurrently, however be aware that some combinations of ingredients for multiple recipes may produce other unwanted dishes, as there are limited recipe ingredients creating considerable overlap in recipes. This feature is of the most use when mass cooking kibble; by placing all the required kibble ingredients into a cooker at once, it is possible to cook all the kibble types at the same time, without producing unwanted dishes.
All standard recipes require water. Water can be provided to the Industrial Cooker through pipes, or placed by hand into either cooker using Water Flasks and so on. For more information see the cooker item links, and the Cooking page.
