The Chef is a tier 1 skill (max level 7) that transforms raw ingredients from hunters and farmers into highly nutritious cooked meals. High-quality food directly boosts a player's XP gain rate, and a balanced diet covering all four nutrients (carbs, fat, protein, vitamins) provides the largest bonus—so aim to produce meals that keep those nutrients roughly even.

🌱 Local AI
The descriptive prose on this wiki is written by a large language model — but it runs entirely on local, self-hosted hardware: a Gemma 4 E4B model on a single NVIDIA RTX 4070 in a home Unraid server.
Nothing you read here was generated by a commercial cloud API. The game data itself is pulled live from the Eco server; the AI only fills in flavor and gap text. Like any web server, this one keeps its own request log — including visitors' IP addresses — purely to run and improve the site; it is never sold or handed to a third party.
This wiki is one face of a larger Eco mod: Solomon, an in-world AI steward that runs the server's economy, posts help contracts, keeps a store, and answers players. The wiki reads the same live game registries and tools Solomon does — so the numbers stay true to the running world. Read more about the project →
