Yeah, it's quite mechanically dense! the devs did an outstanding job. This guide doesn't even take into account the liquid aspect of the game. You can do some amazing things with liquids! Thanks for watching :)
TH-cam knows I like esoteric cooking shows, and I like indie roguelikes, so the algorithm must have thought this video would be a slam dunk for me. And, you know, it was right!
Thank you so much for saying so! Qud is a match made in heaven if you're into roguelikes and cooking, as it has one of the best cooking systems in any game I've ever seen.
Great video. I wish there was more specific guides for . There is a ton of early game content but not much about later parts. I keep hearing about multiple ways of breaking the game but i dont know any of them.
Thank you! I try and make stuff as specific as possible whilst stilling being vague enough to no spoil anything. As for breaking the game, alot of stuff has been patched out (a good thing imo) but there are still a few things left. Making a guide for that could be interesting!
Eaters nectar is the best, neutron flux too, for the last, don't forget the shynx salt injector or precognition to not blow up with the weight of a crushing star.
Questions: If you eat something without cooking it first, do you get an effect? If not, is there a point to eating non-cooked food (other than getting sick on purpose)? What is the point of preserving your salves? Do you get the same effect from them as if applying one, or do you get a milder effect?
Yes, many things can be eaten without cooking. Generally if you eat things without cooking you get a guaranteed effect (like Yondercane for example) but if you cook, you get an effect that will either be static (with one ingredient) or trigger effect. You can build some insane stuff by cooking and combining ingredients. the point of preserving tonics is again, to get their effect but coupled with something else - for example a salve tonic used for cooking will give you come kind of HP-based or healing effect, which may be more beneficial and last longer than just using a single salve injector (heals 0.6/0.9 HP per level on its own). Another example would be Eater Nectar, now the tonic on its own is very good - a guaranteed attribute point, or a mutation point if applicable. However, if you preserved the eater Nectar into a Drop of Nectar and cook it, you have a 25% chance of gaining +1 to ALL your attributes, permanently. The question of whether one effect is milder or not depends, some stuff is good uncooked whilst others are better cooked with (generally the latter)
@@Rogue_Rat Oh dang, yeah that is good. And I imagine if you're going for psychic powers they don't even need much equipment, if your main way of fighting is with lightning bolts from your brain. Probably more eldritch abominations coming for you though.
Thanks! Super helpful. I just subbed after seeing all my favorite games on your channel 😅. Have you tried Kenshi btw? It has random start and ironman mods for a roguelike experience.
Yes, absolutely! This was something I wanted to touch on but forgot. Once you've read the green recipe books, you can hand them in for XP at the Stilt. The white books can also contain clues to the location of a certain relic...
@@Rogue_Rat Ive seen you hand them in for xp, I was just hoping there were skill books or more books leading to quests. Good to know. I dig your vids btw!
@@InfernalWheel So there is actually cases where books can teach you skills, but it's super super rare because that only happens with relic books from historic sites. thank you for commenting, I love talking about Qud :)
I like the tutorial however as a new player, I wish you would have used more basic ingredients like vinewafer or starapple to avoid spoiling the fun of finding those more advanced effects by myself
There are so many mechanics in this game, it's easy to overlook stuff like this. Thanks for the tutorial!

Yeah Drops of Nectar are the best! I love the sheer anxiety of drinking Neutron Flux without precog
nice one, some good info there, thanks!
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching :)
Thanks for the demo, I was being dense and couldn't figure out how to procede after selecting ingredients, haha.
This is great, thank you!
No, thank you for watching! :)

Thanks a lot for the tutorial
So are the clones generated by cooking with cloning oil permanent, or do they eventually despawn/dissolve?
Clones from cloning draught are permanent! You just need to kit them out with weapons and armour :) really powerful in the end game
@@Rogue_Rat Oh dang, yeah that is good. And I imagine if you're going for psychic powers they don't even need much equipment, if your main way of fighting is with lightning bolts from your brain.
Probably more eldritch abominations coming for you though.
Is it always better to preserve tonics? I never did it because I was afraid I was going to lose them.
Thanks! Super helpful. I just subbed after seeing all my favorite games on your channel 😅. Have you tried Kenshi btw? It has random start and ironman mods for a roguelike experience.
Yeah Kenshi is one of my favourite games of all time! Definitely planning on doing a play through very soon!
hold on, let him cook....
I lucked out made an inspired recipe that heals 20 to 30 Hp whenever hp drops below 20%. it proc on a very common list of ingrediants ;3.
Ty
Np :)
I wonder if it is still possible to have a village recepie give secrets or not
How long does an effect last?
It lasts until you get hungry again, which is effected by Fasting Way, as well as how hungry you were when you ate.
So are books good for anything besides recipes?
Yes, absolutely! This was something I wanted to touch on but forgot. Once you've read the green recipe books, you can hand them in for XP at the Stilt. The white books can also contain clues to the location of a certain relic...

free drams homie

That's a good point, sorry for any spoils! I just wanted to get people excited for cooking by using a less mundane ingredient :)
Like Alfredo Linguini Gusteau in Pixar's 2007 animated feature film, Ratatouille.
That movie was based on my life. It's original title was RogueRatatouille
🤣@@Rogue_Rat
More plz.. lol
I have a couple more in the works right now. One is 10 tips, and the other is a combat guide :)
I just wish clones would like to party 😢
Moonring >>> Qud
Yeah, I dunno about that my dude, but I'm glad you're enjoying it! They're both great games :)
