Cooking Upgrade
Advanced Upgrade that greatly increases efficiency when crafting Cooking recipes.
Notes
The Cooking Upgrade is a high-tier efficiency module that reduces both resource consumption and craft time when installed in a crafting station used for Cooking recipes. It fits into any compatible station's module slot, and station upgrade modules are gated by room tier โ meaning this advanced module requires a sufficiently high-quality room to function. If you are running a kitchen with upgraded rooms, slotting one of these into your cooking station lets you stretch ingredients further and speed up production, making it a smart investment for a dedicated chef.
