Cooking Master

Ever wanted to be a Chef in Outward?

Well I got you covered. That's exactly what this mod does! You can now learn new cooking skills and recipes to create stronger foods with new powerfull effects, make better ingredients from simpler ones and share all that power with your coop team to make the most use out of your gourmet knowledge. You are the one who cooks! All Chef skills can be learned from various Chefs found in each town Inn.

Ever wanted more cooking recipes?

I got you there too! Some quality of life recipes are added too with new ways to create important foods and ingredients! Also added new drops to some enemies and traders for more availability of ingredients over regions.

Future plans

More balance, even more custom cooking recipes.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
