Food in Hytale may not be as critical to survival as in other games in the genre, but it’s still essential for players who want to maintain healthy health and stamina bonuses. Not only does food restore health, but a hearty meal will also increase your maximum health and stamina, as well as provide a regeneration bonus. The strength of these bonuses depends on the type of food prepared, and to create the best dishes, you’ll need ingredients like milk and cheese.
Where to get milk in Hytale
You can get milk from cows , but they won’t just give it away. You need to harvest the milk yourself using a wooden bucket and right-clicking on the cow . However, Hytale doesn’t currently have a full-fledged farming or livestock system, which creates some challenges:
- Cows cannot be tamed yet.
- Cows always try to run away from the player.
- Cows have a tendency to disappear randomly, even when corralled.
- One bucket of milk is only enough for one block of cheese.
- A cow can be milked only once a day.
These issues will likely be resolved once the relevant systems are added to the game.
Groups of cows can be randomly encountered in the forest biomes of Zone 1. They’re rare, so it’s worth making the most of each encounter. Since cows tend to move in groups, try to bring a few buckets with you when searching for them .
With some effort, cows can be corralled. If you put them in a large box made of solid blocks, they won’t be able to escape.
How to make cheese in Hytale
You can make your own cheese using a cooktop . This crafting station requires no upgrades, so you can make cheese as soon as you get milk. It’s worth noting that the recipe specifies that any type of milk can be used, so it’s likely you can get milk from other animals as well.
You can milk a mosshorn, but mosshorn milk cannot be used to make cheese.
As mentioned earlier, producing one unit of cheese requires one bucket of milk . However, preparing dishes like Caesar Salad also requires one cheese. Caesar Salad is one of the best restorative foods in Hytale, but if players can’t consistently obtain milk and make cheese, other food options are preferable simply due to the availability of ingredients.
Fruit and vegetable pies are very easy to make if you have the right setup at your base. Also, be sure to set up fishing traps near water to obtain salt blocks, which are needed for some recipes.
