Advanced Cooking Upgrade

Efficiency Modules

Advanced Upgrade that greatly increases efficiency when crafting Advanced Cooking recipes.

Notes

The Advanced Cooking Upgrade is an efficiency module that reduces both the resource cost and crafting time for Advanced Cooking recipes when installed in a compatible crafting station. As an advanced-tier upgrade, it requires the station to be placed in a room of sufficient material tier to function. Stocking or crafting these upgrades is a natural next step after mastering basic cooking, as they significantly lower the ongoing food-production overhead.
