You can’t continue working on an empty stomach in The Survivalists. That’s why you’ll need to cook food from all the scraps you’ve found on the island. Here’s our cooking mini-guide to help you out.

The Survivalists: Campfire cooking guide
To start cooking in The Survivalists, you’ll first need to construct a Campfire via Blueprint Mode. This only requires 6x pebbles, but you do need 1x timber to stoke the fires.
Note: Once the fire has gone out, you get 1x charcoal that can be used to activate the Forge.
You can refer to the table below for the cooking recipes/ingredients:
| Item | Required Materials |
| Monkey Meal (main; used to befriend monkey companions) | 1x petals; 1x berries; 1x makeshift bowl |
| Fruit Smoothie | 2x berries; 2x coconuts; 1x palm leaf |
| Stewed Berries | 2x petals; 2x berries; 1x makeshift bowl |
| Charred Fish | 1x fillet; 1x palm leaf |
| Sweet Fish | 2x fillet; 2x fruit; 1x palm leaf |
| Crispy Wings | 3x bat wing; 1x palm leaf |
| Meat Kebab | 2x meat scrap or 1x meat chunk |
| Fruity Kebab | 1x meat chunk; 1x timber; 2x fruit |
| Mango Curry | 1x makeshift bowl; 2x coconut; 3x fruit |
| Sweetened Meat | 2x meat chunk; 3x berries; 1x palm leaf |
| Sizzling Steak | 2x steak; 2x berries; 1x palm leaf |
It bears mentioning that the food you cook will have varying degrees of effectiveness. Some, such as the Fruit Smoothie and Crispy Wings, net you a lot of health. Others, such as Meat Kebabs, ever so slightly satiate your hunger.
All in all, the Campfire has decent options, but you might want to create a Cooking Pot later to have more stuff you can cook. The Cooking Pot is also used to create steaks and clean water (for Elixirs that protect you from harmful terrain).
That does it for our cooking mini-guide for The Survivalists. You can return to our main guide for the game’s crafting mechanics.
The Survivalists is available via Steam. For more information, check out our guides and features hub.
