Skill
Cooking調理
The skill for combining ingredients into dishes, which are a big help for exploring and fighting. Cooking is one of the 12 skills in Core Keeper and needs 5,000 XP to reach level 100.
Grabbing cooked food from the cooking pot increases the chance of gaining additional cooked food.
In-game description
How Cooking XP is gained
You gain XP when you take a finished dish out of the Cooking Pot yourself. 1 XP per dish taken out by hand.
Tips for leveling Cooking efficiently
- The key is taking the finished dish out yourself. Taking it out with a Robot Arm gives no XP, and bonus extra dishes do not count.
- Turning the crops you harvest for Gardening straight into dishes levels both skills efficiently.
XP needed to level up Cooking
Total XP from level 0. Each level needs more XP than the one before it, so the last 25 levels take the longest. Every 5 levels give 1 talent point, and reaching level 100 gives 5 more (25 in total).
| Level | Total XP | Talent points |
|---|---|---|
| Lv.25 | 201 | 5 |
| Lv.50 | 698 | 10 |
| Lv.75 | 1,933 | 15 |
| Lv.100 | 5,000 | 25 |

XP totals are calculated with the skill level formula in the game's program (Pug.Other.dll), the level cap and talent points come from the game's constants (Pug.Base.dll), talent values come from the game's configuration files (Conf/Talents) and the 200-coin reset cost from the game's program, Core Keeper 1.3.0.6.
