What to know

• A campfire requires four sticks and two pieces of rubble to craft.
• While sticks last about 5 seconds, logs are a better fuel source as they burn for approximately 10 seconds.
• Cooked wild meat restores 10% health, doubling the 5% provided by raw meat, and grants two additional status buffs.

How to Cook Food With the Campfire in Hytale

Craft a Campfire

To start cooking, you must first build a campfire using four sticks and two rubbles.

Then place it on the ground.

Once placed, interact with the campfire by pressing F to open the cooking interface. You will see two main slots: one for fuel and one for the input item (the food you wish to cook).

Add fuel and food

For fuel, you can use various wooden items, but logs are recommended over sticks because they have a longer burn time.

Place your raw meat, such as raw chicken, into the input slot and add your fuel to the fuel slot.

Click "Turn On" to begin the cooking process.

Once finished, you will receive cooked meat which restores 10% health and provides beneficial buffs when eaten.

Using a campfire to cook your food is a simple yet effective way to improve your survival odds in Hytale by doubling the health recovery of your meals and gaining useful buffs.
