Cooked Boar Meat

Cooked Boar Meat is a food item made by cooking raw meat at a cooking station. It is one of the early-game foods available once you start processing meat, and it must be collected before it burns; if left on the fire too long, it turns into coal.

A piece of Cooked Boar Meat takes 25 seconds to finish cooking. Like other foods prepared on a cooking station, it has a narrow timing window, so it is best to remove it as soon as it is ready. This makes it a simple but important source of food during the early survival phase, especially when you are hunting boars for supplies.

When eaten, Cooked Boar Meat restores health over time and provides a modest temporary boost to your maximum stats. Its effects are:

• Regenerates health at a rate of 2 health every 10 seconds
• Grants up to 30 maximum health
• Grants up to 10 stamina
• Lasts for 1200 seconds

Because it combines healing over time with increased maximum health and stamina, Cooked Boar Meat is useful for day-to-day exploration, combat, and gathering before more advanced foods become available. It is especially convenient when you need a dependable food source from animals you are already hunting for hides and other materials.

Cooked Boar Meat is also part of the broader food progression in the game: it is a straightforward upgrade over raw meat and serves as an easy way to keep your food slots filled in the early biomes. Since it burns if overcooked, it is worth placing a few boar cuts on the cooking station and checking them regularly rather than leaving them unattended.
