Slice of Carbuncle Pizza

Slice of Carbuncle Pizza is a single-serving food item derived from a Carbuncle Pizza. It represents one slice taken from a whole pizza that a player bakes and places in the world; slices are removed one at a time in the same manner as serving from a pot of soup. The item functions as a modest hunger and thirst restorative whose effectiveness scales with the character's cooking skill when the pizza was prepared.

Effectiveness of a slice depends on the cooking skill range used to prepare the pizza. When the pizza is cooked at:

• cooking skill 0–4, a slice restores 12 hunger and 2 thirst;
• cooking skill 5–9, a slice restores 15 hunger and 2 thirst;
• cooking skill 10–14, a slice restores 17 hunger and 3 thirst;
• cooking skill 15–19, a slice restores 19 hunger and 3 thirst;
• cooking skill 20, a slice restores 21 hunger and 3 thirst.

A Slice of Carbuncle Pizza cannot be created directly in the inventory; it must be produced by first baking a full Carbuncle Pizza and placing that pizza on a surface. Once placed, the player can take a single slice from the placed pizza, repeating until the pizza is exhausted. This serving mechanic makes pizza a convenient shared or saved resource for parties or for rationing food over time.

Practical notes and interactions:

• Because slice values improve with cooking skill, investing in higher cooking skill yields better per-slice nutrition without changing the preparation process.
• Placing a baked pizza and serving slices is useful when multiple players need food, or when you want to spread the benefits of one cooking session across several characters or time periods.
• Slices restore a small amount of thirst in addition to hunger, so they can be used when both needs are low to moderate.
• Treat whole Carbuncle Pizzas as bulk consumables; the placed-pizza serving mechanic lets you avoid carrying the entire pizza while still accessing its nutrition.
• There is no alternate in-game crafting recipe to obtain slices directly; the placed-pizza extraction is the prescribed method.
