Pick a dish to see what each spice does in that very dish. We only compare variants of the same dish that differ by exactly one ingredient – the rest (meat, egg, flour, slot percentages) must be identical. The same spice can do one thing in a smoked sausage and another in a raw dish, so every dish is analysed separately.
⚠Spice quality does not matter, and a spice's multiplier within one dish is constant (e.g. Salt in Meat-in-Jelly is always ×1.80, in Smoked Wolfdog ×1.12) – it is a property of the (spice, dish) pair. What varies is WHICH FEP gets multiplied: that depends on the other ingredients, e.g. what the wood contributed. The data has no meat or flour quality, so negative changes on base FEPs are usually base-quality noise, not a spice effect.
15 variants in the database · show in food table
Reference point for the lists below: 2 distinct variants without spices and wood; shown are the ones most spiced/wooded variants are built on.
| Ingredients | FEPs | Energy | Hunger | Spiced variants on this base |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wildkale Leaf | Charisma +1 1.00 Intelligence +1 1.00 Dexterity +1 1.20 | 400% | 0.51 | 3 |
| Lettuce Leaf | Charisma +1 1.00 Intelligence +1 1.50 Constitution +1 2.00 | 400% | 0.72 | 0 |
The number on a chip (e.g. 2/10) = in how many pairs this FEP was present at all. A dimmed, dashed chip = FEP present in fewer than half the pairs – usually another ingredient (e.g. wood) adds it and the spice only multiplies it.
