For Live, I intend to do cooking as a 2ndary craft. This will be ground more hard core after Smelting is completed. I attempted to do this before the last wipe. We ran out of Spices which are a key ingredient for cooking the 2nd tier of food.

From my research on this. Food only increases HP regen. It does not increase stam and mana regen like it did in DF1. Also LV 1 foods regen the same as the higher level stuff. This may change as the game progesses to launch, which I expect or this craft is kinda pointless.

By the time I have smelting mastery, we will have stocked up on plenty of other food items to get cooking underway. Some t1 foods can easily be made, like baked potatoes, or Apples.
