Prepper's Pie is a food item in The Long Dark, it is learned from a unique Recipe Card and is made with a Cooking Skillet.

Overview[]

Prepper's Pie is a unique recipe with a powerful Condition restoring effect similar to Dockworker's Pie, which requires a combination of natural and artificial ingredients. It is learned from a difficult to find recipe card which spawns randomly within one of nine Prepper Cache bunkers. While it is only marginally more calorie-efficient from it's ingredients (total of 1200 kcal vs the pie's 1125 kcal) it has powerful effects, namely a large amount of Condition restoration. This allows it to form a similar function to the rare Emergency Stim. Prepper's Pie is also an extremely energy density food at 5625 calories per kg, beating energy bars.

Although Prepper's Pie has a base caloric value of 900, it requires level 5 Cooking to craft, so its calorie count will always be 25% greater (1125 kcal).

Most of the ingredients for Prepper's Pie are rather common to acquire, though Burdock Root are quite rare (1-4 per Region) and often appear in remote or hidden areas. Note: Prepared Burdock and Prepared Reishi Mushrooms cannot be used in Prepper's Pie, instead requiring their raw forms.
