Cooking Skill Book
Notes
The Cooking Skill Book is a research item that unlocks the Cooking specialty, enabling you to prepare advanced meals that dramatically improve your nutrition and skill-point gain. It is crafted at a Research Table and can then be right-clicked to spawn an unlimited number of Cooking Skill Scrolls for other players to use. Since a single book supplies scrolls for your entire server, cooking depends on one researcher sharing access—encouraging collaboration or trade to get your crew eating well early.
