Ensalada Valla de piedra

In English, the display name is the same as the name from the key and cannot be changed. In other languages, the separate display name field applies.

The values in field 1 are of different types for cooking and crafting recipes, but both kinds of value are unused by the game. For cooking, the field is set to a pair of numbers. For crafting, the field is set to Home or Field.

Ingredients and yield

The ingredients are a space-separated list of numbers in pairs. The first number of each pair is an object index from ObjectInformation.xnb. (Negative numbers refer to categories, also listed in that article.) The second number of each pair is the quantity of that object that is required for the recipe.

The yield is also a space-separated list of numbers in pairs. The first number of each pair is an object or big craftable ID. The second number of each pair is the quantity of that object (or big craftable) that is created by the recipe. If there is only one object/craftable yielded, the quantity is optional and defaults to one.

Unlock conditions

The unlock conditions field supports any one of these condition types, depending on recipe type:

Syntax Applicability Description
<NPC> <hearts> Cooking When the player reaches the given number of hearts of friendship with the named NPC, a letter with the key <NPC>Cooking will be queued for delivery tomorrow. That letter then unlocks the recipe with the %item cookingRecipe %% token.
<skill> <level> both When the player reaches the given level of the named skill, the recipe will be unlocked on the level up menu. The valid skill names are Farming, Mining, Fishing, Foraging, Luck, and Combat (but Luck is unimplemented).
none
or any other value
both The recipe must be unlocked in some other way, such as an event. (See Exceptions below for starting recipes and other hard-coded unlocks.)

Exceptions

When the game cannot locate a recipe key in the data, the Torch recipe is loaded instead.
