[Rimworld Beginner Tutorial] How to cook raw meat at campfire

When you first land on a RimWorld, one of the most immediate challenges you'll face is how to feed your colonists. The first step, assuming you have some raw meat, is to prepare it for cooking.

Step 1: Butchering

Before you can cook raw meat, you must first butcher the animal it came from. There are two primary ways to do this:

  • Butcher Spot: This is a free option available from the start. While it's quick to set up, it is less efficient.

  • Butcher Table: You can build this for a more efficient butchering process.

Step 2: Cooking at the Campfire

Once you have butchered the meat, you can cook it. In the early game, the campfire is your primary tool for this.

  • Select the campfire.

  • Navigate to the "Bills" tab.

  • Here, you can set a bill to cook the raw meat.

Beyond the Campfire: Upgrading Your Cooking Setup

While the campfire is essential for survival in the early stages, it's not a long-term solution. It has several downsides:

  • Slow Cooking Speed: Campfires are inefficient and take longer to cook food.

  • Resource Waste: They consume a significant amount of wood.

  • Risk of Food Poisoning: Cooking in an open, non-sterile environment increases the risk of your colonists getting food poisoning.

As soon as you can, prioritize building a proper cooking station inside a clean, enclosed kitchen. It's also highly recommended to build a freezer to store your ingredients and meals, which will prevent them from spoiling.

[Rimworld Beginner Tutorial] Making Pemmican

This can be done at a Butcher Spot or a Butcher Table. 3.  **Cooking Station:** Pemmican is made at a cooking station, either a campfire in the early game or a cooking stove later on. 4.  **Set the Bill:** Go to the "Bills" tab on your chosen cooking station and set up a bill to "Make Pemmican." Your colonists will then combine the...
