Slice of Carbuncle Casserole

Slice of Carbuncle Casserole is a consumable food item created from a prepared Carbuncle Casserole. It functions as a multi-serve dish: once the casserole is baked and placed on a surface, individual slices can be taken one at a time. These slices behave like portions from a pot of soup, allowing players to serve themselves without carrying the entire casserole object.

The nutritional benefit of a slice scales with the player's cooking skill. Higher cooking skill increases the amount of hunger restored and, to a lesser extent, the thirst restored. The serving is described in-game as an unusual casserole serving — a portion unlike any the world has seen before — and exists primarily as a convenient, shareable source of sustained hunger restoration.

• To obtain: Bake a Carbuncle Casserole and place the finished casserole on a surface; interact with it to take single slices. This interaction model mirrors the single-serving retrieval used for other multi-serve foods such as pots of soup.
• Hunger restoration by cooking skill:
  • Cooking skill 0–4: restores 16 hunger and 2 thirst.
  • Cooking skill 5–9: restores 21 hunger and 2 thirst.
  • Cooking skill 10–14: restores 23 hunger and 3 thirst.
  • Cooking skill 15–19: restores 26 hunger and 3 thirst.
  • Cooking skill 20: restores 28 hunger and 3 thirst.
• Thirst restoration is modest compared to hunger restoration; even at maximum cooking skill a slice restores only 3 thirst.
• Practical notes:
  • Use slices to feed multiple players or to portion out meals for timed consumption, since each slice is taken separately from the placed casserole.
  • Improving cooking skill yields diminishing but meaningful gains in hunger recovery per slice; prioritize skill increases if maximizing nourishment per bake is desired.
  • Because slices are taken from a placed object, they are convenient for communal bases, farms, and camps where multiple characters will need food without repeatedly opening and carrying full containers.

The Slice of Carbuncle Casserole is therefore most valuable as a shareable, skill-augmented food source that provides strong hunger restoration and minor thirst relief, obtainable only by baking the casserole and serving its portions from the placed dish.
