Regenerating Health

When it comes to regenerating health, the best recipe contains the following ingredients: cooked prime meat, cooked lamb chop, or any jerky. Cooked prime meat is obtained by cooking raw meat at a campfire or industrial grill. Similarly, cooked lamb chop is acquired by cooking raw mutton. For any jerky, you need meat, oil, and sparkpowder in the preserving bin. The meat you need will depend on what jerky you want to cook.

Regenerating Stamina

For stamina, any Kibble is the best ingredient to use in your recipe. Although Kibble is mainly used to tame creatures, it can be used as an ingredient in your custom recipes and are great for regenerating stamina. You can obtain kibble by cooking in a cooking pot or industrial cooker. The recipe will depend on which Kibble you want to make.

Mindwipe Tonic

To make the best and most OP food, you can consume a mindwipe tonic and put all points into the crafting skill. A mindwipe tonic resets your Engram Points but does not remove experience points, which means you can just put your points back again to the skill you want. However, keep in mind that you can only drink one mindwipe tonic every 24 hours.
