Provisions & Co. — Editor Reference

Every setting in the editor, panel by panel. For how to use the editor see the Editor Guide; for playing see the Player Manual.

How to read this page. Field names are written as the editor shows them. The Key column gives the name the setting has inside the kitchen file, for advanced authors. Unless a field says otherwise, leaving it empty or at 0 keeps the base scene's or the game's own value.

1. Level card

The Level card (right column, with nothing selected) holds the kitchen-wide settings.

2. Advanced card

The Advanced card (collapsed; it shows how many are set) holds less common kitchen-wide settings.

If the kitchen was converted from another mod's level, the card also shows Converted from … — by author.

3. Phases card

Phases make the kitchen change during the round. + Add phases starts with two.

What happens when phases change is described in the Editor Guide and the Player Manual. Every phase needs a serving pass and a plate return.

Horde card

Shown when the mode is horde. A horde kitchen is built on one of the game's horde levels (the castle Battlements 1–8, or the two festive horde levels), whose own rules, screen and ending run the round. Enemies come in waves to the horde windows, one at a time per window, and each orders a dish. Serve that dish at its window and the enemy leaves; a hungry one damages its window, and once the window is broken it damages the kitchen. The round is won when the last wave is cleared and lost when the kitchen's health runs out. Every dish earns coins — its recipe's score — which players spend to open gates and to repair windows (hold USE at a damaged window). Stars come from the kitchen health left at the end.

With no waves, the base scene's own waves play, ordering your kitchen's dishes.

4. Recipes, Package and Custom content

Recipes

The list holds your custom dishes first, then other authors' public dishes, then every stock recipe. Search recipes… filters it; All and None tick or untick every stock recipe.

Package

A checklist of everything the ticked dishes need — crates, cookers, utensils, dispensers and the serving set (serving pass, plate stack, sink, plate return, or the glass/mug/tray equivalents) — ticked off as you place them. Click a missing entry to arm it in the palette. Missing entries also appear as package: missing … warnings. A placed campfire also lists a firewood crate, and a barbeque a bellows: they only heat with that fuel.

Custom content

A shortcut to the Studio. Custom ingredient crates appear at the top of the Crates palette.

5. Objects — fields every object has

Select an object to see its settings. These rows come first for every object:

Pose & look

Bob & sway

floats makes the object bob and sway gently, like an ice floe, identically for every player. Fine-tune with bob height, bob speed, sway °, sway speed, drift, drift speed x/z and randomness (key float). Not available for lights and kill zones.

Animation and Game scripts

Two collapsible text boxes for advanced authors and converted kitchens: Animation (states, transitions and clips, triggered by switches or scripts — key anim) and Game scripts (the game's own trigger components on this object — key scripts). Invalid text is rejected without changing anything.

phases

With two or more phases: which phases the object exists in (all, or numbered boxes). Two objects can share a cell if they are never in the same phase. Key inPhases.

moves

Makes a crate, counter or station travel between cells during the round. Not for items (pans, plates), markers, decor, cannons or floor burners.

Anything on it rides along; chefs in its way are pushed aside. It passes through other counters, so keep its path clear. The host moves it and everyone sees the same motion.

6. Objects — kitchen stations

7. Objects — cooking

Cookers

Hob, the ovens, campfire, mixer base, blender base and floor burner have cook timing:

The frying station, barbeque and heated furnace use the game's timing.

The campfire and barbeque start cold and barely cook until fuelled: feed the campfire logs from a firewood crate, and fan the barbeque with a bellows (keep one on a counter beside it). The heat drains away again, so keep feeding.

Utensils

Pot, frying pan, steamer, cake tin, oven tray, oven pot, roasting tray, frier basket, kebab skewer, griddle pan, toasting fork, hot pot, mixer bowl and blender jug have cook timing (as above) and:

In play, a utensil only takes what can still become one of the level's dishes cooked in it (or mixed, for a mixer bowl or blender), however it arrives: held, thrown or tipped in. Burnt or over-mixed food only goes in the bin, a bowl's batter goes into a pan or oven only once it's mixed, and an ingredient a recipe uses only inside a batter can't go into the pan on its own. A plate only takes parts of the level's dishes served on it: no stray extra ingredient, no raw form of a cooked part, no unbaked batter, and nothing raw added to a finished cooked part (raw broccoli on a roast doesn't make the broccoli roast).

Place a utensil on the cell of a matching cooker (a pot on a hob); otherwise it starts loose and the editor warns. The bellows, coal bucket, fire extinguisher, water gun and cream sprayer are tools; their capacity fields have no effect. The cream sprayer's sprays field names what it adds to a dish (an item name; empty = whipped cream; sprayItem).

Floor burners and the hot pot

swap group — 0 = always lit. Give burners groups 1, 2… and they take turns: group 1 lights first, then the fire moves to the next group on the timer in the Level card (burner swap). Put the hot pot on a burner's cell; players push it onto whichever burner is lit. Key burnerGroup.

8. Objects — machines, switches and mechanisms

Conveyor belts

belt speed (key conveySpeed; empty = the game's) and direction — rightwards or leftwards (conveyDir). Chain belts on neighbouring cells facing the same way, rotate them to aim, and put a counter at the end.

Food spawner

Rotate it to face a conveyor belt; items land on the belt cell in front. An item that isn't in the ingredient list (a converted kitchen's cooked or chopped form) is shown at the top with (item name); untick it to remove it.

Buttons and switches

The buttons, floor switch and push button (and switches from converted kitchens):

Pressure plates (from converted kitchens) act when stepped on and off: drives (their targets, as above), on: send, off: send, and on: animation / off: animation (triggerSendExit, animatorTriggerExit).

Cannons

• Cannon — aim arc ° (the total sweep; the game uses 90; 360 turns all the way round; key cannonArc) and range (landing distance; cannonRange).
• Cannon fire button — fires cannon: which cannon it launches (cannonTargetId). A cannon needs a fire button, or players who climb in get stuck.
• Cannon aim stick — aims cannon (cannonTargetId).

Horde windows and gates

In the Machines palette on a horde kitchen (castle and festive styles of each).

• Horde window (two cells) — where enemies come and where their dishes are served, instead of a serving pass. Its back faces the outside: enemies appear behind it and walk in. returns — the plate return its plates go back to (plateReturnId); enemies appear (m) — how far behind the window they appear (the game's 5.7; spawnDist). A kitchen needs at least one window; more windows = more enemies at once.
• Gate (two cells) — a closed gate that players open by paying coins (press USE at it), for example to reach extra stations. cost (coins) — its price (the game's 50; cost).

Live signs

In the Machines palette, in every mode: Live banner (whale trips), Live banner (boat hire) and Live chalkboard — Surf 'n' Turf props that show your own text, with live numbers filled in during the round. Every player's game draws its own signs from its own game state.

• sign text — what the sign says (boardText). A banner has one face and big letters: keep it to one short line. The chalkboard takes a few lines (a new line in the box is a new line on the board).
• back side — the chalkboard's back face (boardText2; empty = the same as the front).
• live numbers — pick one to insert it at the cursor.

A banner hangs down from its point and never blocks chefs; it starts 2.3 up at size 0.6 (change elevation y and the scale fields in Pose & look). Turn a chalkboard to 90° to face the camera.

A number that doesn't exist on this map shows -: the horde ones outside a horde map, the kitchen, star and round time ones on a horde map (its waves have no clock). A name in braces that isn't a live number stays as written.

Every published co-op kitchen gets a record banner over its back row on its own, showing {rank} (the player's manual, 3.9). A sign of yours that shows a {rank…} number replaces it; so does hide the record banner in Advanced. Versus and horde kitchens have no records.

Teleporters

(From converted kitchens.) exit — the teleporter chefs come out of (portalExitId); colour — the portal's colour (portalColor); both sides — works from either side (portalDoubleSided).

Control terminals

steers — the moving object a chef drives from this terminal (it must have a PilotMovement game script; key pilotTargetId).

Other machines

Condiment and drink machines, the coal dispenser, firewood crate, flamethrower and your custom machines have only the general fields.

9. Objects — markers

10. Objects — level art, decor and 3D models

These are placed from the Decor palette.

Light

A standalone kitchen that places its own lights turns the base scene's lights off.

Kill zone

A volume where chefs and items that fall in respawn. shape (box or sphere), how — which death plays (fall, hit, drowning, run over), and size x / y / z (a sphere uses size x as its radius). Keys shape, respawn, sx, sy, sz. Placing a kill zone in a standalone kitchen turns the base scene's off.

Surface

Art only, no collision — for floors, rugs, panels and simple shapes. form (flat panel, plane, box, ball, cylinder, capsule), look — its material, e.g. shader=Legacy Shaders/Diffuse;_Color=#ffffff (matSpec), and optionally game model — draw a game model instead of the shape (gameMesh). Size it with the Pose & look scale fields.

Group

An empty object others can join (their group field): everything in the group moves together, for example with Bob & sway, a moving object or an animation. Follow a chef (chef: P1–P4) keeps the group with that chef, e.g. a head lamp (followChef). physics is the group's own layer (layer; a converted kitchen's other layer shows as layer N and is kept). A pushable object's group also has a hover icon: the prompt shown when a chef is close (hoverIcon).

Solid box

(From converted kitchens.) A box with physics: plain, floor (walkable) or wall (layer), and its collider: box (sized by the scale), capsule (radius, height, upright along x/y/z), ball (radius) or model shape (a game model or your own model, optionally convex); centre offsets the shape. Keys collider, colliderRadius, colliderHeight, colliderAxis, colliderCenter, colliderConvex, gameMesh, meshAsset.

Decor (scene props)

Props from the base scene (or from other kitchens with browse other scenes). They keep their original height on the ground floor and have the Pose & look, Bob & sway, Animation and phases fields.

Your 3D models

Models uploaded with ＋ 3D model (.obj):

A player who can't download the model sees nothing in its place.

11. Floors, walls and platforms

Floor zones

Drawn on the Floor layer. Each zone is a rectangle of cells at a height (floor height y) that chefs can walk on; gaps between zones are holes. Kind Floor is flat; Ramp / stairs rises from low end y to high end y towards rises toward (+x, −x, +z, −z, or auto from your drag). Keys: floors[] with x0, z0, x1, z1, y, and for ramps kind, y2, dir.

✎ on a zone in the layer's list opens its settings: its height (floor height y, and high end y on a ramp), draw floor (off = walkable but invisible, for a level whose own art shows the floor; tile: "off"), look (the zone's own material instead of the map's floor; matSpec) and texture tile (m) (the size of one repeat of that texture; empty = 2.4; texTile).

Walls

Drawn on the Collider layer: invisible solid boxes with a wall height that block chefs and items. ✎ on a wall in the list edits its base y and wall height. Key colliders[] (x0, z0, x1, z1, y, h).

Moving platforms

Drawn on the Platform layer: ＋ New platform, click cells for its route, ✓ Finish path (two points or more).

Platforms move on a shared clock, so every player sees the same motion. Turn on ride moving floors in the Advanced card so chefs are carried along.

12. Studio — custom ingredients

+ Add custom ingredient or ✎ opens the ingredient form.

Uploads need sign-in and may need permission during the beta. In the ingredient list, the number next to an ingredient is its serve score.

13. Studio — custom dishes

The simple form

The node-graph composer

＋ Compose dish (or ✎ edit) opens a graph:

• Ingredient nodes — the ingredient, its process, and where it goes (to the plate or into a cook stage). Drag the ↔ port between two ingredients to make them interchangeable.
• Cook stage nodes — a method (or combine (no cook)) and where the result goes (the plate or a later stage). Several stages make multi-step dishes, e.g. fry, then boil.
• The plate node — the dish name, score and vessel.

Dish image and 3D model

✨ Workers AI or 🖥 My ComfyUI generates the plated picture; 🧊 Generate 3D model (local) makes a model from it. Or upload image, upload model (.obj) and upload texture (.png). plated colour is a flat colour for a model without a texture (picked from the picture automatically if you don't set one). Without a picture the order ticket shows the first ingredient; without a model the plate borrows a stock look. Keys dishIcon, platedMesh, platedTexKey, colour.

Game assets

Advanced: use the game's own pictures and models instead of uploads, written as bundle|path — ticket icon, plated model, serving step, cooking step, cook step icon and mix step icon.

In-pan models picks one of your uploaded 3D models for what the dish looks like while it is in the cooker, for each of mixing, frying, boiling and baking (its texture comes along). Empty = made from the plated model. Key stageMeshes ("fry:<model>[:<texture>]").

In the dish list

The number is the dish's score. ✎ edit opens the composer, form the simple form, ⤴ publishes it to the public library, ✕ removes it from this kitchen (it stays in your library), 🗑 removes it from your library, + map / Add adds it to this kitchen.

14. Studio — custom machines

Make the input and output ingredients first. After saving, ＋ map adds the machine to the kitchen; place it from the Machine palette. A brewer is one object in the editor; the map stores it as the machine plus its carafe on the same cell (appliance:<id> and appliance:<id>/carafe). A dish made in a brewer or cooker picks the machine as its cook step (the machine is listed after the stock cookers).

In play a grinder shows a level bar over it (levels 1–10: blue = too coarse, green = the band, red = too fine) with HOLD TO GRIND, KEEP GRINDING, RELEASE! or TOO FINE!. Machines published by other authors (for example the coffee-shop kit: beans, grinder, coffee machine and the Coffee dish, with their own models) are listed with yours; ＋ map also brings in the ingredients they use.

Example — a coffee shop. Coffee beans (kind chop) → a grinder whose output is coffee grounds (kind cook) → a coffee machine (brewer) whose input is the grounds → a dish Coffee: vessel mug, cook = the coffee machine, ingredient = the grounds. Place the beans crate, the grinder, the coffee machine, a mug stack, a serving pass and a mug return. Chefs grind the beans (hold USE, let go in the band), drop the grounds in the carafe, wait for the brew, take a mug to the machine to fill it and serve.

15. Studio — scenes and 3D models

• Custom Scenes: pick a base scene (or ✨ empty — blank canvas), ＋ New scene, build it on the Decor, Floor and Collider layers, name it in the toolbar and Publish scene (scenes are public and reusable). Edit and ✕ manage your scenes. A kitchen uses a scene through the Level card's scene field.
• 3D models: ＋ 3D model (.obj) in the Decor palette uploads .obj, .glb or .gltf files (up to 4 MB for OBJ and 12 MB for GLB; sign-in needed). Place them from the Decor palette and tune them as in section 10.
