Cook

Overview

A food-production class focused on better meals and smoker use. This is a primary choice or class available in your pack’s selection screen and is best understood as a complete lifestyle rather than a single buff.

How it plays

Turns farms and Farmer’s Delight kitchens into useful businesses. Minimal direct benefit outside provisioning.

Excellent for station cafés and food freight contracts. In a world built around ordinary travel, railways and player-run shops, an Origin becomes most satisfying when its abilities open a profession or destination rather than bypassing the rest of the server.

Starting priorities and builds

First days

• Secure a food source matching your diet early rather than treating supplies as an afterthought.

Good infrastructure

• Choose a home and business that make your strengths repeatedly useful rather than only occasionally novel.

Enabled power reference

Every power listed below links to its own reference entry, including the choices that share it and practical consequences for play.

Shared-world and economy role

• Food constraints create demand for farms, kitchens and market shops supplied through regular transport.
• Turn resource advantages into a foundry or engineering supplier rather than keeping all production private.

Create factories and physical markets give specialised characters recurring work: supplying resources, surveying new routes, maintaining stations, operating shops or providing expedition support.
