Cooking warning: Garbage Soup is a training tool, not dinner

2026-05-14
Buff meals: Military Stew before fights, Radiation Soup before Labs
Buff meals should be prepared for a specific route, not eaten randomly. Military Stew supports fight windows, Radiation Soup supports Lab hazard checks, and risky Portal Stew rolls belong inside base recovery range.

Lab Sector survival: Cryo-Lab, radiation layers, and accelerator prep
Labs are the facility's difficulty spike. Treat vertical lifts as risk gates, bring radiation protection, and never push deeper after a failed puzzle attempt without resetting your health and gear.
