Hi, I'm a new chef and trying to figure out how to make my food have more "oomph". I spoke to a bio eng last night to see if I could get some tissues from him but apparently it is not as easy as that as there are many types of tissues.

I've learned that there are specific tissues if you want to increase nutrition, filling, flavor, etc. but I've also read about a "broad spectrum" additive on the Chef forums.

If anyone can give me some idea what the good tissues are and what their proper names are (so I know what to ask the BE for) I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Kung,

Depends on what you types of food you want to make.

The BE addtives are broken up into 3 categories - Light, Medium, and Heavy. Your lower level foods can use light, the middle ones medium, and of course the highest use the Heavys. Within each of these categories, four addtives can be crafted, targeting different aspects of your food - How long it lasts, how much it fills you up, how effective it is, and how many servings it has.

Make some foods that you think are good, and then see what element is lacking from it. That is the additive you should look to get.

An example - Vasarian Brandy boosts all 3 mind stats and is very popular. I use a BE additive to boost the effectiveness, use a Cask to get the servings up, and tweak my experimentation to get the drink I want. Ends up around +400 all Mind stats, for 35 minutes, 21 servings, and under 50 filling, so two can be taken at a time.

The additives aren't cheap though, as they require meat and creature resources to make, so they will increase the cost of your foods substantially. But if the final product is good, you shouldn't have a problem selling them. I sell Brandies for 5k each and can't keep them in stock.

Just note that many (all?) BE's may be currently overwhelmed with Chef, Tailor, and non-CH creature orders, so you may have to wait for an order unless you are friends with a BE. Tip - Offer to supply the necessary meat needed for quicker turnaround.

Thanks for the info Rrando,

Let me give you an example of what I'm thinking...

My brandy isn't so good right now, Best I've been able to come up with is about +225 M/W/F. I believe my fruit/berries/water are pretty good but I was also using a small glass to make it.

So from what you said, I should ask a BE to make me a medium bio component that influences nutrition. Are there several types to choose from or is there only one kind of bio component that influences nutrition? Would the BE know what I am talking about if I just tell him the same? Is there a list somewhere that you know of that details the names/types of BE components?

And are there general type components that affect all 3/4 experimentation lines or just specific ones?

And on a realted note, do larger sized containers, ie casks, only influence the number of doses or do they also influence filling and nutrition?

Sorry if these questions are common knowledge to everyone else but I just hit Master Chef yesterday: smileyvery-happy:
