Discover all of the Food items and dishes, along with recipe details, that you can create in Enshrouded for useful buffs as you explore!
Enshrouded is a massive, open-world game that includes elements of the survival and action RPG genres. Collecting resources and crafting are a huge part of the game. You’ll rescue survivors who can help you build your homestead and expand your farms. Moreover, as you expand your reach and push back the shroud your explorations will take you to dangerous places. Collecting, harvesting, and making food to eat can provide you with great buffs that can keep you out in the field longer. In the following guide, we’ll cover everything you should know about all food items in Enshrouded, what buffs they provide, how long they last, and all of the available recipes.
Food Overview in Enshrouded
In Enshrouded food will satiate hunger if you are playing on Survival difficulty/mode, as well as grant you temporary stat boosts. These buffs can boost your Constitution, Dexterity, Intelligence, Health Regen, and more.
Furthermore, all of these benefits are temporary, with durations lasting from just a few minutes to nearly an hour. Simpler foods will have shorter timers, while complex recipes with harder-to-find ingredients will generally last much longer.
Finally, you can have up to three different buffs from three different consumables active at the same time in Enshrouded. You can see which buffs you have active and keep track of their duration by looking at the three icons in the upper right-hand corner of the HUD underneath your HP bar. At base game, you can consume one meat dish, one sweet candy or snack, and one drink. Significantly, you can add another food slot by unlocking the Desert Stomach skill in the Skill Tree.
How to cook food in Enshrouded?
The most basic way to cook food in Enshrouded is to grill a piece of meat over a fire. This method of cooking food is available to you at the very start of the game and is the simplest way of giving yourself energy and buffs.
Next, you will be able to make additional food items by crafting the Fireplace at your Workbench. These stations can be made by manually crafting and you do not need any survivors for them. However, later on, you can rescue the Farmer survivor and place her in a shelter. She will be able to provide additional recipes and foodstuffs.
Finally, one of the Farmer’s personal quests will enable you to craft the Oven, which will unlock the most advanced recipes available in Enshrouded to date.
