Description

# TurboCooking

Campfire cooking for Arma Reforger. Put a pot, a pan or a kettle on the fire, add the right ingredients, keep the fire at the right heat and take the dish out before it turns to charcoal.

### Features
- **Cook at any campfire** on any map, and build your own fireplace from firewood ("Build fireplace").
- **Portable grill stand**: taken apart in the inventory, set up at the fireplace.
- **Grilling**: put up to 6 items directly on the grate, turn them in time and take them off before they burn.
- **Pot, pan or kettle** on the grill stand. Each has its own recipes, the kettle makes drinks.
- **46 recipes**: 20 in the pot, 17 in the pan and 9 drinks, from pumpkin soup and rice pudding to pancakes, coffee, cocoa and lemon tea.
- **30 ingredients**: vegetables, fruit, mushrooms, steak, eggs, flour, rice, pasta, canned food, milk, water, coffee, tea and cocoa.
- **Fire heat**: little wood makes a weak fire and cooking takes longer, too much wood makes it too hot and finished food burns faster. A coloured bar shows where you are.
- **Firewood as fuel**: with little wood only the embers glow, in the optimal range small flames burn, too much wood makes a big fire. It goes out if nobody adds more. Without fire, cooking pauses.
- **Burning**: a finished dish left in a pot or pan on a burning fire turns to charcoal. Drinks in the kettle simply stay warm.
- **Atmosphere**: pot and pan show their contents, dishes come in bowls, drinks in enamel mugs, food sizzles while cooking and goes quiet when the fire is out.
- **Custom recipes for servers**: server owners add recipes in a JSON file, without the Workbench and without their own mod. See the guide below.
- **Multiplayer ready**: the server owns fire, contents and cooking time, and every player sees the same.

### How to cook
1. Find a campfire or build one with **firewood**.
2. **Set up the grill stand**, then place a **pot**, a **pan** or a **kettle** (you need to carry both).
3. **Add firewood** and light the fire. Best keep it in the middle, yellow part of the bar.
4. **Cook** opens the cooking view. Pick a recipe, put the ingredients in, start cooking.
5. When the dish is ready, **take it out** before it burns.

### For server owners
On the first start the mod creates `TurboCooking/recipes.json` in the profile folder of the server. It holds all ingredients and recipes and can be edited freely. The guide comes with the mod (`Docs/Recipes_Guide.md`).

The mod does not place items on the map. Grill stand, cookware, firewood and ingredients come into the game through the loot tables of the server; all prefabs with GUID are listed in `Docs/Loot_Items.md`.
