Looking for Zero Sievert Cooking Recipes? Our guide will tell you where to find Food, how to cook it, and give you the details on the best Food in the game!
Staying alive in the irradiated wilderness of Zero Sievert takes more than a good gun and the right skills — you'll also need to sustain yourself with food and water. Read on to learn all about the basics of food and how to cook it.
How Zero Sievert Food Works
Zero Sievert Food, generally speaking, is used to either restore your Hunger, Thirst, or both. Having both of these stats full will increase your Weight capacity. Conversely, having them get too low will reduce your Weight capacity, up to the point where you can't move at all.
In addition to Hunger and Thirst, a small subset of Food items can have an effect on Radiation. Some items -- especially Rotten items -- will increase your Radiation. Other items will reduce it.
How to Get Food in Zero Sievert
There are three ways to get Food in Zero Sievert:
- Craft it
- Purchase it from vendors in the Bunker
- Loot it from chests or dead enemies
How Zero Sievert Cooking Works
Strictly speaking, Zero Sievert cooking is a subset of the crafting system. There are no special minigames or anything like that; you simply combine the right ingredients together to get a recipe.
Cooked food is generally better for you than raw ingredients, although you can sometimes find even better items out in the wilderness. The rules of extraction shooters apply here, too: the more dangerous an area, the more rewarding the loot — food included. Obviously, you should save these rarer food items for special situations.
You can only cook a handful of items without specialized equipment; you'll need to build the Kitchen base module if you want to make some of the more advanced recipes in the game.
