🧁 Baking
Overview
Baking in XenoSO enables players to create cake-based food items using the Baker's Oven. The baking system requires specific ingredient combinations and a minimum cooking skill threshold to produce successful results. Cakes serve as high-value food items that primarily restore energy while also providing substantial hunger benefits.
The randomized outcome system ensures variety in cake production, with all nine cake types having equal probability of creation. Players must source ingredients from multiple systems including vending stands, chicken farming, beekeeping, and butter production before attempting to bake.

Skill Requirements

Cake Outcome Probability
The specific cake type produced is determined randomly upon completion. Each of the 9 cake varieties has an equal probability of occurring:
| Probability Formula | Calculation | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| 200 in 2000 chance per cake | 200 ÷ 2000 = 0.10 | 10% per cake type |
This equal probability distribution ensures that no single cake type is favored over others, with each baking attempt providing a 10% chance (1-in-10) for any specific cake variety.
