Cooking

Concepts

Boost

Cooked items sometimes receive bonuses (improved effect duration, potency, health recovery, etc.). This random process is internally called a "boost". When this happens, the player is said to have gotten a "critical success".

The probability of getting a boost is calculated based on what ingredients the player is using.

However, boosts are guaranteed during a blood moon. More exactly:

• The current day must be a "Bloody Day" (see WorldMgr for more information).
• The "blood moon time range progress" must be strictly greater than 0.1%.
  • This value starts increasing linearly from 0% at 23:30 and reaches 100% at 00:00, then starts decreasing and reaches 0% at 00:15.
  • Effectively, this means the time range is roughly 23:30-00:15.

Tag

Tags (in the context of the cooking subsystem) are exactly the same thing as regular actor tags (see bxml). However, they are stored as CRC32 hashes in the configuration file.

CookData.byml

This resource is found in Bootup.pack.

Its canonical resource path is "Cooking/CookData.byml".

CookData.byml is the configuration file for the CookingMgr (which implements cooking functionality).

System

The System header, located at the bottom of CookData.byml, contains parameters that define how the cooking system functions.

CEI

CEI contains the parameters for each effect type available when cooking.

Key	Name (unofficial)	Description
BT	Base Time	Minimum amount of time a recipe effect will be active for, before additions/multipliers from ingredients.
MR	Material Rate	Multiplier on the EffectLevel of ingredients used to obtain the final effect amount.
Ma	Maximum	Maximum effect level. For stamina, in 1/5s of a wheel. For hearts, in 1/4s of a heart.
Mi	Minimum	Minimum effect level. For stamina, in 1/5s of a wheel. For hearts, in 1/4s of a heart.
SSA	unknown
T	Type	Effect Type, as un/signed hash of string. Valid types are hashes of the following: LifeRecover, LifeMaxUp, ResistHot, ResistCold, ResistElectric, AllSpeed, AttackUp, DefenseUp, Quietness, Fireproof. (GutsRecover and GutsMaxUp are the two unlisted types, but their unhashed string values are currently unknown)
