How cooking buffs overwrite each other
Core Keeper's cooking system takes the highest value of a stat. For example, if you cook a Bomb Pepper (+21% Speed) with a Spicy Tulip (+21% Speed), your resulting meal will only give +21% Speed, not 42%.
Furthermore, eating a new meal overwrites existing buffs of the same type. If you have a 5-minute speed buff active and eat another speed food, the timer simply resets. Only mix ingredients with different buff types for maximum efficiency.
Golden vegetable strategy
Once you setup your 1.2 Robot Farms, you will have plenty of Golden Crops. Add 1 golden veg to guarantee a Rare outcome (giving a massive +25% to all stats). Add 2 golden veg for an extra +15% multiplier (total +40%).
Tip: Always use gold veg on the S-tier dishes listed above for endgame bosses like the Core Commander.
