Furnace
A furnace is a dungeon feature introduced in Splicehack. It can be used with the #cook extended command to increase the nutritional value of food, and increase the chance of gaining an intrinsic.
Effects
Quaffing
Quaffing from a furnace kills you; the furnace contains lava.
Sitting
Sitting on a furnace deals fire damage to you.
Dipping
Dipping anything into a furnace has a 130 chance of blowing up the furnace. Dipping potions or scrolls into a furnace destroys them. If you #dip an item that can survive the lava damage into a furnace, such as a metallic weapon, there is a 130 chance the item is blessed, and a 130 chance the item is erodeproofed.
#Cooking
- The extended #cook command uses the cooking skill. Raising this skill increases the chances of successfully cooking a corpse. The cooking skill can be increased by cooking food.
- Cooking a corpse increases nutrition as well as the chance to gain an intrinsic, but overcooking greatly reduces that chance and have lower nutrition. Cooked food is less likely to be rotted, and more likely to be safe to eat.
- Rotten and homemade tinned food is considered to be uncooked, but all other tins found by the player are treated as having a random amount of cooking. Corpses found in ice boxes have a small chance of being cooked.
- Monsters killed via fire usually leave burned corpses.
- Cooked/burned corpses cannot be sacrificed.
- Cooking in front of a monster of the same race as the corpse being cooked will cause them to become angry.
Strategy
If you #adjust any stacked comestibles so that you can cook a single item at a time, you will train the skill faster than if you simply cook a stack all in one go.
