Actual Coordinate Map

A big "Thank You" to emeraldlily for help running tests!

Now available at http://cooking.drunkenfumble.com including source spreadsheets and graphing file.

Website has been updated to Pass 2 - I won't be updating the images here as often. 80 more herbs, salt, barley, and a couple of other fish & such.

(NB: For those with difficulties viewing colored diagrams, I have created a copy of this page with GreyScale images here, which links back to this page and acknowledges it as a copy.)

What I need

If folks want to donate resources, I'm always happy to take them. Primarily, I'm using a lot of cabbage, mutton, honey, and carrots in my testing. While those are generally pretty easy to keep in stock, I use anywhere from 6 to 20 of each for testing one new coordinate, so they do move quick. Otherwise, if you see fish or mushrooms that aren't on the coordinate list or the list below, I need anywhere from 4-10db to successfully test a new item. My camp is at about (525, -1400) in Sterope.

How To Run Tests

There's a decent amount of math involved in cooking tests, but once you have the formula, it's relatively simplistic. For the basic testing, we need to find the relationship between our test subject and three or four known ingredients. For me, I use Honey, Mutton, and Cabbage to start with, and then replace failed reactions (negative times) with other ingredients. You'll run every test at a 6:1 ratio for these three ingredients, and then you'll pick the closest one (longest duration), and also test that at 13:1. Record everything in your own single-pair worksheet - you'll want it later on in your cooking career.

For testing, we then plug the data into a spreadsheet with the following formulas:

The columns are:

• Base : pretty explanatory, the base you're using in your 6:1 or 13:1 relationship.
• Additive : the ingredient we're testing.
• 7Dur : the duration of the 6:1 test. When you enter this, enter min*60 + sec, so that it's extremely easy to check.
• 14Dur : the duration of the 13:1 test. Same format as 7Dur.
• Potency = Dur Difference *14 : =(7Dur-14Dur)*14 [on my spreadsheet : (C2-D2)*14 ]
• Bulk = Duration7 - 1/7(Potency) : =7Dur - (Potency/7) [ C2 - (E2/7) ]
• Distance = 1000 - Bulk: =1000-Bulk [1000 - F2]
