I do have one question how many points do I need to put in to cook lol? I feel dumb asking that but, I just sub on your other site and I'm starting a new game and cooking is one thing I struggled with point wise or is it just based on exp and not the trait points?
I guess Intelligence 3-4 should be enough, I usually set it to 6. But mostly survival/cooking result depends on how good you read the recipe. And if you miss some skill points then your result may lose some quality level. Here's one of the ready recipes. In this case to get the best quality you need 18 lvl of Survival.
