Spicedfoods

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-10

Overview

spicedfoods is a data-generating module that creates recipe definitions for spiced food variants by combining base food recipes (from preparedfoods.lua and preparedfoods_warly.lua) with predefined spice types. Each spice contributes unique effects (e.g., garlic grants absorption) and modifies recipe properties such as cook time, stack size, and temperature behavior. It populates and returns a flat table (spicedfoods) keyed by the spiced food's name (e.g., "rottensmall_spice_chili"), which is used by the cooking system.

Usage example

local spicedfoods = require("spicedfoods")
-- Access a specific spiced food recipe
local spiced_chili_wetgoop = spicedfoods["wetgoop_spice_chili"]
if spiced_chili_wetgoop then
    print("Cook time:", spiced_chili_wetgoop.cooktime)
    print("Spice type:", spiced_chili_wetgoop.spice)
end
