No Man's Sky Cooking Recipes

Hi Xaine. Could you please make the text a bit darker? My eyes aren't the best anymore and it's not easy to read for me the way it currently is.

I'll see what I can do, thank you for the feedback :)
Sorry it took me what i now see is a month, but i found where to sort it now, so every table created should now be a thicker font
1. Thanks for the help Xaine, much appreciated
  – Pathetic interloper

Amazing work, but…This has put me off the whole cooking/farming thing, which is a shame as i was really looking forward to it. The have to increase all tier recipe payouts by 2000% to even make it worth all the headaches. ?

I know how you feel, I was excited to, it certainly needs work
1. Awesome list though Xaine, thank you for putting this together ! :)
that is exactly how I feel, I just got the nutrient processor and was excited to see what I ca make but when I saw the recipes my excitement turned to dread… no way im going to even try to find some of these things, plus take the insane measures to get them. i have never even seen 99% of them lol.
1. same, but It helped me a lot
2. Actually it's not too bad. Walkers give tall eggs after you feed them (or use the feeder and harvester devices together). Smaller dino/diplo creatures give creature eggs. Slug/snail creatures give honey. There's a few other things, but MOST creatures give you some form of milk. Depending on whether it refines to cream or proto-cream you wind up with different stacks, though they're interchangeable as far as recipes are concerned.
  
  Plants can be a bit weirder. You only seem to be able tp plant valuable things and only a few of those work in recipes (cactus for one). Annoying thing is that heptaloid wheat can't be planted. On the upside, it grows naturally in most environments. Plus there's another plant called glass grains or something that also cooks down to refined flour.
  
  The best way to minimize the time-sink involved in cooking is to use multiple nutrient processors placed next to one another. Process base ingredients in one or two, then put the results into a "final recipe" oven. Grab stacks as they finish.
  
  Same basic scheme you would do with refiners, only there you typically use multiple medium refiners and a large refiner in an adjoining room. I tend to put my "ovens" in a cylindrical room with a bio-dome atop it and a ladder up in the middle. Ideally you want to place the ladder facing AWAY from the door leading to it. Elsewise you wind up getting on the ladder by accident.

Thanks for providing this list. It is extremely helpful!

Cooking is absolutely a fascinating aspect of crafting for them to add into the game, but it does need some more time in the development oven before it's cooked all the way through.

I see what you did there good sir and I like it!

HI,

The list says you make Tangy Cheese with Cream only. Cream only makes Churned Butter. Anyone know what the missing ingredient is?

Thank you for pointing this out, I believe it is a bug/oversight in the coding, 1 recipe with 2 outputs, I expect it will be patched at some point
1. So, is there no way to make Tangy Cheese, then?
  1. I can't find it to…
    1. You need cream and yeast, I believe.
yeast

Oh, and a hearty thank you for compiling the list!

This is an excellent guide, thanks for putting it together!

Thank you very kindly! I'm glad it's helpful :)

Xaine, would you mind adding a download link to the list? Perhaps a small chart, and maybe something similar to a pdf, so we would be able to have all of the recipes open at once, divided into the sections and categories you set, and still use a search feature? A small chart similar to the one in your video would be wonderful; idk how you have made the list, or if this would be a hassle at all; my apologies if this is a difficult request.
Thank you

Thank you for the suggestion, im going to see what i can do :)

Currently, Hypnotic Eye doesn't work as an ingredient; is this a bug, do you think?

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, it must be yes, Mordite was also bugged in this way on launch
Larval core is also bugged I think.

Hi, I follow close but, seem to be missing 3, find Salty Doughnut, I'm Missing, The Stellarator. also
Mystery Meat Pie, I'm Missing, High Fibre Pie. Last one, Monstrous Honey Cake, I'm Missing, End of page. if anyone could help me find the 3 I'm missing..

Not sure what you mean by missing, the recipes are on the table, you can look through for them or search for them
1. missing means, I haven't unlocked them, I was hoping, could you check and give me the names of the ones I haven't unlocked ? 573 recipes is little hard to go through only to find the 3 I still need
  1. nvm found them

So… I think Pie Case is Tier 3, not Tier 4. It only requires two ingredients, which are both Tier 2.

Great job on the site and videos BTW. I wish HG would hire some folks like you to be testers for a month before they launch these things.

Thank you for noting, I messed up on that one, I didn't use a formula to sort them via their tier, I did it manually, so potential for a mess up is there.

And thank you again :) glad you like the site and vids :)

It's really hard to read anything with this extra thin font. Maybe consider changing it? Can't see a thing.

Thank you for the feedback, currently trying to find out how to alter in table defaults, will see if i can alter the font weight for all tables

What am I missing here, trying to make cheese but all I ever get with cream is butter, what's the deal, leaving it in the cooker over night?

Yeast is the missing ingredient which alongside with cream makes cheese.

Nice one! they'd adjusted the recipes in the recent update, so ill be updating the list to reflect the cheese and i think 3 others that were changed

magnifіϲent issues altogether, you just received a
new reader. Ꮃhat may you suggest in regarԁs to your put up
thаt үou јust made some days in the past? Any positive?

With patch 2.12 the Larval Core and Hypnotic Eye can be put in the Processor again (Mordite was fixed earlier). The fixed/new recipes for cheese are Wild Yeast + Cream -> Tangy Cheese, and Wild Yeast + Proto-Cream -> ProtoCheese.

Your videos and the NMS recipe list are brilliant! Thansk for your hard work!

Glad my work is of help <3

Found this list when looking for refiner recipes – nice util btw. New to this cooking stuff. What exactly does quality mean? On a wiki I found a similar list (not searchable though) and that one should how many nanites a certain recipe is. This is what I'm currently missing in this list. Is that possible or is that data not available – assuming you are datamining the NMS files.

Heya bud, super happy to hear you like the site and it's info :).

By nanites, do you mean how much the recipe will give upon presenting to Cronus?

If so, that is what the quality number is about. No recipe has an exact number of nanites it will receive from Cronus, so putting the nanite estimates seemed a little iffy. The quality value is a decimal, also viewed as a percentage from between 0.1 and 1, the higher it is, the more chance it has of giving the full 40 nanites.
1 is the highest quality possible currently, so anything with a quality of 1 will give you the best chances.

I'd recommend Salty Custard, it's a super cheap and easy food to make that can be 100% farmed and has the highest quality rating.

Thanks so much, Xaine! This list is awesome and very smoothly interactive. I've been working my way through each recipe with a focus on the hardest ones. Major props, man. :)

Glad you like it <3

Is their any way to download all this info, or not really?

Thanks Xaine, Just did a big copy and paste job into excel so I could print it out.

Just a though, if you would explain each one this way, it would help with having to reverse engineer each type of ingredient
. Pie case
milk = cream
cream = churned butter
Frost crystals = glass grains
Glass grains = refined flour
refined flour + churned butter = pastry
pastry = pie case

Thank you so much, this must have been a bitch to put together. Although cooking isn't really worth the effort right now, It's still really nice to have this resource. If the bonuses like sprint boost and jet pack boost (although how food boosts your jet pack, I don't know unless maybe it's chili, wink wink nudge nudge) lasted longer it would be cool or if they sold for more, it would be nice. Right now it's just a time sink but it can be fun. But really thanks a lot I have used this resource to save me a ton of time and headache.

Tangy Cheese is listed as being made with 1 Cream, this is incorrect, at least currently on PS4.
1 Cream + 1 Wild Yeast = Tangy Cheese
1 Cream = Churned Butter
1 Cream + ! Cream = Creamy Sauce

Thank you for the correction, I'll refresh the list with the current game files Asap, it appears some fixes have been added

Why no mention of how much the dishes are worth?
I get 18,800 units for 1 unit of Fiery Vegetable Stew. That seems to be worth the trouble. Would like to know what other things are worth making. So please include the item sale price in units on a column. Thanks.

The prices, nanite amount from Chronos among a few other things have changed since this guide was made, I'll be working on an updated version very soon.

Previously, prices were static and very low for all dishes

Xaine, fairly new follower, but the amount of time and effort you put into your vids, website and amazing Stasis Mega Guide is admirable. Very professional! Thanks for being such a n all-around resource for NMS. F.Pygmy

Theres a thing at the top of the screen hanging down that says no man's sky x xaines arcade shop blog register and login can you please tell me how to get rid of it is covering the whole screen

Seriously, dude. Amazing work. I cannot state how much I appreciate that someone put this list together.
Peace to you, brother.

Hi there! Thanks for posting this info! :) It's come in really handy. It would be nice if you could also add the buff/effect the food gives you when consumed. I just finished cooking every single recipe on the list, then found that it doesn't actually tell you what the buff/effect is unless you need it at the time. :/ I'm sure this is the same reason why googling what they are has yielded no results.

Awesome site Xaine! Was wondering if there is a list of the stat boosts for eating the recipes cooked? Also the units from selling? Thanks!

nevermind on the units…my bad lol…but still wondering about stat boosts.. thanks again!

Any chance you know how to get the new Cronus title to unlock? I've tried top recipes and so far nothing.

Wow, you went all out, cheers for the info. I'll be updating the tables with game file info in the next day or 2, didn't realise quite this many recipes were added
1. No problem. Still need to find turtles (scooped innards), (latticed sinew), diplos (diplo chunks, giants eggs), (foraged mushrooms) to finish out my catalogue.

      I haven't been able to find what creature to feed to produce foraged mushrooms. Also are Diplo Chunks and Giant Eggs even in game anymore, all diplos I find give meat chunks and creature eggs.

Could you upload or send me screenshots of your cooking catalogue on the game? As I'm trying to fill in the my gaps and it's a nightmare going through each cooking product to see if I've done it or not! Thanks

Is there a Google Sheets spreadsheet of this list. I would like to print out the recipes.

Mordite + Medaty Chunks = Creature Pellets

Meaty Chunks*

Xaine,
Been using your site a couple years now ( Thanks for the creation and maint. of it! Invaluable resource… ) and love your video content. I've been rallying Hello Games for some selfish-recognition of the amount of "Sweet Cream Dreams" and "The Stellarators" (mid- four-digit range) I've baked and given-away to folks at the Space Anomaly since first playing NMS ( no word back from H.G. yet, ha ). Many, many thousands of honey, cream and eggs at this point. Main reason I'm here : At some point you may want to nuke the "Bait" tab on this Cooking Recipe page, since everything just makes "Creature Pellets" as-of Companions / 3.2x, and we can no longer make advanced baits (which I kinda miss doing…made farming a bit more of a challenge, but perhaps just a slog for most).

Keep up the great work, man! Warm winds and following seas to you and yours.

What is free stamina this list has buffs but how do you include a buff?

The buffs are applied when you eat that food, so the stamina, would either pause stamina drain for a short time or fill your stamina bar for sprinting.

Any info on the duration of these buffs? they could range from godly to completely useless based on duration but i cant find a list anywhere that has durations

Hey man, I've been watching your vids for a bit now. I was curious about the Cooking Products and the Nutrient Processor and this list has been very helpful, so I wanted to thank you! P.S – I know you don't have any videos for it archived on YT, but did you ever get into Elite Dangerous on the side? I always thought it would be sweet to see some ED videos from ya. I'm usually switching between that and NMS. Anyways, thanks for the awesome content and I'll continue to support in any way I can!

Aaaw thank you dude <3

And sadly I've just never had enough spare time to check it out. I hear it is very involved to play properly.

It would be awesome if this provided the base value of the items. Not the value it'd sell for in your local market, the generic value it gives when you mouseover the recipe in the game.

Did they take most of the bait Recipe out of the game? I've tried making them, but the only one I can get to work is the pellets.
