Flotsam Food Guide

Quality ladder

The wiki names six rungs: Icky, Ordinary, Tasty, Yummy, Culinary and Holy. Holy is listed at +45 mood and Culinary at +35. A favourite meal adds another +35 on top of the quality bonus. Canned food and Holy Mackeroli are called out as meals that will not become someone’s favourite. Seaweed salad sits on the Icky rung at about −5. Potato salad is Ordinary and is the first real upgrade. Old guides call the machine a Salad Spinner or Seaweed Spinner. The 1.0 codex building that matches that job is the Chop Shop. I use the codex name and mention the old nickname so a search for either still lands.

Fish math and the truck

Nibbler, Gobbler and Flounder are the three fish tiers, low to high. One food guide’s farm example: 10 Nibblers need 3 barrels of Seaweed Chow plus 9 barrels of seaweed and return 20 fish. I am not generalising that into a production rate. The Food Truck, once powered, hands meals out so you stop clicking bowls. Large Desalinator is the water twin of that idea and lives on the water page. If a search asks “how many distillers”, it is asking about water machines, not stews. The ratio disagreement is written there.

A complete recipe card with every ingredient count does not exist in one source. Fish oil and treated plank are part of later chains and are too thin for their own pages, so they stay rows on the resource table.
