Abiotic Factor Cooking Guide

Cooking in Abiotic Factor is more than just a fun activity; it’s essential for survival. You’ll need to gather ingredients from your environment and use various cooking stations to prepare meals. Each dish you cook not only restores health but also provides specific buffs that can enhance your abilities. The key is to experiment with different combinations to discover recipes that best suit your gameplay style.

Abiotic Factor is a multiplayer game set in a parody of the Half-Life universe. It is different from other survival games, like Lethal Company, because it has an actual story. The story follows a group of scientists who are dealing with the aftermath of alien contact. 

To survive in Abiotic Factor, players must pay attention to their scientists’ needs. This includes learning how to cook.

Abiotic Factor Soup Recipe 

One of the simplest recipes to get started with is the Abiotic Factor Soup. To make it, you’ll need basic ingredients like water and any two types of edible flora you find around. Here’s a quick guide:

1. Collect clean water from a stream or boiling station.
2. Gather two types of edible plants.
3. Use a cooking pot to combine the ingredients and cook for about three game hours.

This soup is great for health regeneration and is a good introduction to the cooking mechanics in the game.

How To Cook in Abiotic Factor?

Cooking in Abiotic Factor is easy with a pan and some meat. While the pan can only cook meat, a cooking pot can cook other materials. 

Meat is the most common source of food because it’s dropped by most enemies. 

To create Bio Scrap, you can overcook alien meat in a pan, but it’s not recommended because you’re more likely to have extra Bio Scrap than food. 

To extract edible meat from aliens, you should kill them without stepping on them and then use a kitchen knife to turn their bodies into food. This is true for most biological enemies, including the Pest, which is the most common hostile creature.

How To Make A Soup in Abiotic Factor?

In order to prepare soup in an effective manner, it is essential to have a cooking skill of level three or higher. In case you choose to pursue the path of a Phytogenic Botanist, your cooking skill will already be at level two. Apart from that, all you will need is a cooking pot, water, and a stove to heat everything up.

There are countless combinations of soup ingredients that you can utilize to create distinct flavors and achieve various beneficial effects, such as increasing the experience points gained for a particular skill or slowing down hunger and thirst. However, it is crucial to be cautious and wise in selecting the ingredients, as making poor choices can lead to sickness or even death.

Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that some of the “alien meats” are radioactive. While they are safe to consume in small quantities, it is not advisable to store them or any other radioactive material near other food items. This can cause the radiation to spread and increase exposure, which can have dire consequences.

Abiotic Factor Soup List 

Soups in Abiotic Factor are particularly powerful for their healing properties. Here are a few soups you might want to try:

It is important to be aware of the ingredients and effects of the different soup recipes. “Bad Soup” is a recipe that should be avoided as it is made from any ingredients that do not belong to the soup recipe, resulting in poor taste and potentially harmful effects. However, gathering enough ingredients for another soup recipe will unlock that recipe. 

“Bland Pea Soup” is a soup recipe that requires 1 canned peas and 1 salt. It provides a hunger fill of 10 and thirst fill of 28, while also boosting the XP gain for sprinting and sneaking. 

“Poop Soup” is a recipe that involves a bag of feces. This soup is not recommended for consumption as it may cause sickness and vomiting, and it also applies a “stinky” effect. 

“Solder” is a crafting item that can be made from 1 metal scrap and 1 silver. Despite being a crafting item, it is made in the same way as soup, making it a “soup” in a sense. 

“Sustenance Soup” is a recipe that requires 1 military M.R.E. It provides a hunger fill of 20 and thirst fill of 20, while also boosting XP gain for accuracy and reloading. 

Finally, “Toxic Soup” is a recipe that requires any human parts such as a brain. This soup should not be consumed as it is likely to cause sickness and vomiting. It is important to note that putting human body parts into the soup pot will result in this recipe.

Each soup has unique benefits, so collecting the various ingredients to experiment with different recipes is a rewarding experience.
