Advanced Cooking Table

The Advanced Cooking Table is a late-game cooking station that unlocks after obtaining Building Licence 3 from Fletch. It expands on the normal Cooking Table by allowing food to be prepared from nearby storage within a ranged area, making it much more convenient for larger bases and food production setups.

Its effective range is 12 x 12, and it works with nearby storage when cooking, so ingredients do not need to be carried directly into the player’s inventory first. This makes it especially useful when set up near bulk ingredient storage, farms, or processing areas. The Tape Measure can be used on range-based objects to visually display the table’s effective area, and the same tool also works with other ranged structures such as the Advanced Crafting Table, Auto Sorter, Silo, Solar Panel, Water Tank, and Windmill.

After the Breezy Autumn Update, food cooked at cooking tables is worth the combined value of its ingredients, making cooking more rewarding as a production activity rather than just a convenience. Because of this, the Advanced Cooking Table fits well into organized food chains where ingredients are gathered, stored, and processed in one place.

• Unlocks with Building Licence 3 from Fletch.
• Lets the player craft food from nearby storage.
• Has a visible effective range of 12 x 12 when measured.
• Works well in base layouts built around centralized storage and production.
• Food crafted at cooking tables now sells for the value of the ingredients used.

The table’s recipe uses multiple input materials and produces one Advanced Cooking Table, but the exact material names and quantities are not clearly listed in the available source data.
