Pumpkin Cookie

Pumpkin Cookie is a consumable food item that restores hunger and a small amount of thirst. The in-game description presents it as a scrumptious cookie full of autumnal flavor. It appears as a common baked good and is primarily relevant to characters who manage hunger and hydration through prepared foods rather than raw ingredients.

Pumpkin Cookies are produced by baking a Pumpkin Cookie Tray and placing the tray on a surface; individual cookies are then taken from the tray. A single tray yields six Pumpkin Cookies. The effectiveness of a Pumpkin Cookie scales with the cook’s skill: higher cooking skill increases the hunger and thirst restored when consumed, so preparing them with a better cook yields more efficient rations.

Practical notes and usage:

• Production: craft a Pumpkin Cookie Tray at a cooking station or appropriate crafting interface, bake it, place the tray, and remove up to six Pumpkin Cookies from one tray.
• Nutrition by cooking skill:
  • Cooking Skill 0–4: restores 15 hunger and 4 thirst.
  • Cooking Skill 5–9: restores 20 hunger and 6 thirst.
  • Cooking Skill 10–14: restores 22 hunger and 6 thirst.
  • Cooking Skill 15–19: restores 24 hunger and 7 thirst.
  • Cooking Skill 20: restores 27 hunger and 8 thirst.
• Role in inventory: Pumpkin Cookies are stackable baked consumables suitable for short excursions or as supplemental rations; they are more hunger-efficient when made by higher-skilled cooks.
• Strategy: use Pumpkin Cookies to quickly top off hunger with minimal preparation time compared to multi-ingredient meals. Because thirst restoration is modest, pair them with a beverage or other hydrating items when planning longer trips.
• Spoilage and economy: treat trays as the primary production unit (six cookies per tray) when calculating ingredient costs and storage; baking multiple trays at once improves throughput for supply caches.

The Pumpkin Cookie is a straightforward, seasonally flavored snack in the game’s food system: easy to produce in batches, scales with cooking ability, and best used alongside hydrating items for sustained excursions.
