Hi Chefs!
Shelter - the upcoming post-apocalyptic DLC for Cooking Simulator will be available next week on November 18th with a nice -15% launch discount for a limited time!
Although Shelter introduces a variety of new mechanics and a pretty unexpected setting, we just want to emphasise that it is first and foremost a Cooking Simulator game. That means that you'll spend the most time cooking tasty food and improving your culinary skills. There's a bunch of interesting post-nuclear ingredients to choose from and a few dozens of completely new recipes to unlock and master.
Below are a few of the latest in-game screenshots. Check out the store page to see all of the new screenshots and add Shelter if you haven't already to get notified upon release!

As you might already know in Shelter you'll be playing as a chef looking for their lost family in the wastelands. After arriving at a place known as Sector 12 you stumble upon an abandoned military comm center. The last hope lies in restoring the radio towers and hopefully contacting our loved ones. Unfortunately we won't be able to fix the radios without the help of nearby settlements and that's where our cooking skills come in.
Throughout the game we'll complete quests for the 4 camps in the Sector and the caravan who will be the first group of people we'll meet. The camps and their inhabitants are quite diversified. Aside from the nomadic merchant group represented by Mila Run, there are the cattle breeders family from MacStump's ranch, mutated miners of Stedler Camp, survivors operating in a steelworks facility in Firepit Plant and finally the remnants from the former military base.
Each group has a leader who'll be giving us varios quests which will eventually lead to mutual trust. The caravan will help us deliver and exchange goods required by each settlement.
Quests unlock various rewards such as resources, gun upgrades, new recipes and so on. Completing the final quest for each settlement will grant us the special parts needed for repairing the radio towers. In case we find ourselves in need of some extra cash or other supplies we can take up to 3 additional side-quests each day.
As for the quests themselves, we wanted to introduce new challenges, different from a strict list of orders to complete. A few examples might be delivering enough highly radioactive food for the mutated miners, preparing cow forage with medicines for MacStumps or preparing food rations and killing mutated rats near our shed to help expeditors from the military base crossing nearby.

Shelter is getting closer to the release and very soon we'll be able to give you an exact date!
In the previous devlogs you've learned about the new ingredients, recipes, gathering resources and the new environment. Despite all those completely new mechanics, Shelter is still first and foremost a cooking game. It's also NOT an open world game. All the trading, exchanging resources and contacting other settlements is made possible thanks to the caravan travelling across the sector.
The caravan leader Mila Run will be one of the first people we'll encounter in the Sector. She'll be giving you the first quests that will allow you to build mutual trust. Eventually she'll introduce us to the leaders of other settlers who should be able to help us restore the radio towers.
There are 4 different settlements in the Sector but none are not going to help a complete stranger so before asking for any favors we'll need to do something for them. The quests will vary from cooking for a feast to preparing fodder for carnivorous cows. That's where our cooking skills, resourcefulness and shelter's equipment come in.
By the end of each day in Shelter you'll be visited by the travelling merchants. They'll collect and deliver all the food we've prepared and also exchange products and other supplies necessary for cooking and surviving in the wasteland.
Wastelands can be quite unpredictable and you might find yourself in need of some extra items you haven't bought in advance. In such cases, you can use the radio to contact the caravan and request an express delivery. Just keep in mind that you'll need to pay extra for such a favor!

In the previous devlog we surprised some of you with the new mechanics such as hunting and farming. In this entry we'd like to talk a little bit about cooking and recipes, because Shelter is still first and foremost a cooking game.
In Shelter you'll need to utilize your cooking skills to earn trust from the surrounding camps in the Sector and with their help try to find your long lost family. Cooking in the post-apocalypse will be based on ~60 unique food products. That includes meat harvested from 3 types of mutants, monster eggs, mutated plants and mushrooms and various pre-war products such as sauces, spices or multiple canned products. We wanted to see the expansion's setting as an opportunity to introduce tasty and exotic-looking foods.
New products also mean completely new recipes. Surviving in the wastelands requires high levels of creativity and making the most out of available resources. Shelter's cookbook will include a total of 45 recipes with varying levels of complexity. On the post-nuclear menu you'll be able to find all kinds of dishes from soups, stews and burgers to completely new dishes based partially on Turkish cuisine. New types of recipes include shashlik, kebabs and vegetables on a stick.
Shelter will be equipped with various tools and stands you might know already from the base game. That means ovens, griddles, cookers, pots, pans, knives, blenders all reskinned to match the theme of the game. There will be some new utensils as well. First one is the pipette which should make all the drizzling a bit easier and the second one is a huge BBQ grill placed in the middle of the kitchen. The BBQ grill will be used for preparing all the new skewer-based dishes.
Are you hyped for cooking in the post-nuclear wasteland?

Shelter release is just around the corner. Below is the latest devlog dedicated to some of the new mechanics - hunting and farming!
As you might already know, Shelter due to its post-apocalyptic setting is all about being resourceful and making the most out of every opportunity and scarce resources. That's why keeping the old mechanics of instantly buying everything we might need for cooking wouldn't make that much sense in the barren wastelands.
The food products can be obtained in one of 3 ways:
hunting mutants and harvesting their meat
growing plants in an underground farm
ordering additional products from the caravan travelling across the Sector
The main source of protein will be the meat harvested from 3 species of mutants roaming the desert: rats, armadillos and vultures. During the day we can climb to the shed above our shelter and use it as a hunting range. Shooting is definitely a mechanic you wouldn't expect from a Cooking Simulator game but we tried to make it as interesting and engaging as possible. The gun will feature 4 upgrades:
Scope
Silencer
Magazine
Extended barrel
Those can be unlocked by progressing the accessible immediately in Sandbox mode.
Some quests might require us to maintain the mutants' population at a certain level. Killing too many might result in reduced numbers and longer time required to repopulate again. Mutants can be attracted by using makeshift lures which will attract certain types of creatures.
Meat is not the only type of food available in the wastelands. As mentioned in one of the previous entries, we wanted to look at the post-apocalyptic setting as an opportunity to introduce intriguing, colorful and vibrant plant-based foods. The following products can be grown in the underground farm:
Broccoli
Leek
Cactus
Celery
Tomato
Carrot
Blue mushroom
Red mushroom
Green mushroom
After planting the seeds, watering and using optional boosters there's a 1-day long growing period after which the plants are ready for harvest.
Unfortunately one of the side effects of living in an irradiated wasteland are random mutations which can turn our seeds into carnivorous plants. In such a case, the only thing left to do is grabbing our gun to clear the spot for future plants.
There are a lot of recipes to master and most of them require more products than can be obtained on our own. The initial supplies can be restocked with the help of the caravan travelling across the Sector.
