Recipe
There are many types of recipes in the Kingdom.
How to Read A Recipe
A Basic Recipe
Here is an example of a simple recipe that can be completed early in the game:
Harold's hammer head | Harold's hammer handle | |
Harold's hammer |
Each row in the recipe is started with a symbol, showing how to process the specified ingredients. In the above recipe, the first symbol is a picture of meat paste which means this is a combining recipe. The equals sign on the next row shows the final product. The above recipe should be read as follows: Combining Harold's hammer head (with a meat paste) with Harold's hammer handle yields Harold's hammer.
Nested Recipes
Here is an example of a nested or multi-tiered recipe. It shows multiple recipes in one (hopefully) easy to read chart.
soda water | bottle of vodka | ||
tonic water | bottle of Definit | ||
vodka and tonic | little paper umbrella | ||
yellow brick road |
Each row shows a different sub-recipe of the whole recipe. The above recipe can be read from the bottom, up, as follows. The bottom two rows can be read as: Cocktailcrafting (with Advanced Cocktailcrafting) a vodka and tonic with a little paper umbrella yields a yellow brick road. The middle two rows shown another precedent recipe, which is read as follows: Cocktailcrafting (with Superhuman Cocktailcrafting) tonic water with a bottle of Definit yields a vodka and tonic. The tops two rows shows two recipes. The first: Improving soda water at Nash Crosby's Still yields tonic water. And the second: Improving a bottle of vodka at Nash Crosby's Still yields a bottle of Definit.
Reading the top cell in each column will give a complete "shopping list" for the recipe, or every item needed to complete the recipe once from scratch. For example, to make a yellow brick road from scratch, one would need one soda water, one bottle of vodka, and one little paper umbrella.
Reading all of the left-most cells shows what skills one would need to make a recipe from scratch. For example, to make a yellow brick road from scratch, one would need the proper cocktailcrafting equipment, Superhuman Cocktailcrafting (for crafting a vodka and tonic), access to Nash Crosby's Still (by being a Disco Bandit or Accordion Thief), and Advanced Cocktailcrafting to craft the final step.
