Can you learn cooking recipies by simply leveling up in Build 42?

[Sir Nils Olav]

So I heard that now you can learn to use generators by simply leveling up electrician skills. I wondered if the same was the case for cooking? If so, what level does one need to be to learn to make bread dough?

Some do.
Doughs auto learned on 7.

Some things seem to be added to your learned things list as you level up. Like I got the electrical 1 book added to my learned list even though I never found one once I hit level 2 electrical, same for aiming although I started with that as an officer.

You can also place a generator at electrical 3 without having the manual for it now. I believe the intent is to eventually be able to brute force recipes with levels while the manuals and mags will let you do it earlier. Otherwise I don't see how TIS plans for people to eventually be able to survive completely in the wild.

The professions are not done yet though so time will tell.

ah, cooking is kinda the perfect skill. It levels up completely naturally from gameplay. You don't need an entire workshop full of items to craft one recipe, and you don't have to build garbage items all the time to raise your skill you never intend to use.

Cooking is the standard all the other crafting skills should be held to.

Level 7????
That's insane! Making bread dough should be like some of the most basic things to make!

Technically you do need a workshop full of tools if you want to make specific recipes. Bread, cake, pizza, what have you, they all need special cooking utensils that your common stew and soup don't really use.

Hahaha, definitely. I can't believe coming up with a way to make bread dough is harder than building a forge.

I found a “Recipe: Prepare bread dough” and can do it as a Mechanic on cooking level 3.

There are some recipes that require more, but you don't need much to start a stir fry or make a sandwich.

It can be done even with 0 cooking, but requires 7 to auto learn.
