Everyone wonders at some time: what's the "best" food in Glitch?
With Master Chef II it's easy, just cook up some Awesome Stew and you're good. But what about lower level cooks? Are you struggling to find out what the best food is for energy gain? Or are you having a hard time keeping your mood up? Here is something that might help:
Victoria's big table o'foodstuffs!
And also one for mood-enhancing drinks (mostly).
These tables take into account the whole cooking/shaking/blending process! The only exception are "raw" ingredients (meat, milk, beans, etc.), because the energy cost of gathering those depends on your skill level.
Example:
Ingredients for a Hearty Omelet are 2 eggs, 2 mushrooms, 1 cheese (-7 energy), 1 Hot 'n' Fizzy Sauce (-4). For the sauce you need 1 Tiny Bubble (-5), 1 Cumin (-3), 1 Hot Pepper (-2) and 1 Mustard (-2). Frying the omelet is costs another 11 energy.
Total energy cost = 34.
Energy gain from eating the omelet = 102.
Total energy gain = 68.
Enjoy!
EDIT: I managed to upload the spreadsheet that also takes into account the energy costs for gathering "raw" ingredients, here. It's public but you can't edit. Download it, fill out the values that correspond with your skill level in the "Harvest" tab and enjoy! It's not completely finished though, some data are still missing. Go here to see where you can help.
