Guide page: official recipe scope is live; ingredient tables need gameplay verification.
Recipe and Cooking Guide
Plan recipe discovery in Out and About: ingredient tracking, cooking uses, farmers market notes, and when recipe data is ready to publish.
Source and verification notes
- Steam describes cooking recipes and herbal remedies for townsfolk.
- Steam Early Access notes mention 90 recipes in the current version; the official site describes a larger long-term recipe scope.
How to build recipe notes
- Start from recipes that appear in early quests, villager requests, or home rebuilding tasks.
- Record exact ingredient names from the game UI, not real-world substitutes.
- Separate cooking recipes from herbal remedies so searchers can land on the right page.
- Keep market, friendship, and quest uses as separate columns once values are verified.
Recipe data fields
| Field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Recipe name | Searchers need exact in-game wording. |
| Ingredients | The main lookup value for stuck players. |
| Unlock source | Prevents players from hunting for recipes they cannot access yet. |
| Use | Quest, friendship, market, home repair, or collection. |
| Verification status | Protects the site from outdated Early Access values. |
What should stay noindex for now
- Individual recipe pages with no ingredients, unlock source, or use case.
- Recipe rows copied from memory without a screenshot or repeated gameplay check.
- Any page that reads like real cooking advice instead of game guidance.
