Auto Cook

Streamline Your Kitchen with Auto Cook for Project Zomboid

Tired of the repetitive grind of preparing every single meal in Project Zomboid? The constant chopping, frying, and mixing can eat up precious survival time. If you’re looking to reclaim those minutes and focus on more critical tasks, the Auto Cook mod is your culinary solution. This modification is designed to automate the cooking process, allowing you to efficiently prepare a wide variety of dishes without the micromanagement.

Effortless Food Preparation

Auto Cook simplifies the often tedious task of cooking by introducing an “Auto Cook” option for specific kitchenware. To get started, you’ll need an empty Bowl, Frying Pan, or Griddle Pan. Ensure you have the necessary ingredients readily accessible in your inventory. Interacting with the cookware is straightforward: simply right-click on the pan or bowl in your inventory and select the “Auto Cook [Dish Name]” option. For advanced customization and further options, consult the ‘Cook’ tab within your Character Info Panel.

Key Features and Functionality

This mod offers several benefits to players who want to optimize their survival experience:

• Automates the preparation of evolved recipes, saving you time and effort.
• Requires empty containers for the cooking process.
• Compatible with B42 and future versions of Project Zomboid.
• Can be safely added to or removed from any existing save game without issue.

It’s important to note that the functionality for opening canned or jarred food is currently unavailable due to technical limitations, with plans to address this in future game updates. Auto Cook focuses specifically on evolved recipes, meaning simple, single-ingredient preparations are not covered by this automated system.

Community Driven and Supported

The Auto Cook mod is a testament to the power of the Project Zomboid modding community. Developed with community suggestions in mind, it aims to address a common player pain point. For support, questions, or to provide feedback, the official Project Zomboid Discord server’s mod support channel is the ideal place to connect. The creator has kindly provided a separate mod for players still using B41 and earlier versions, ensuring wider accessibility.
