When you first put on your G&S HUD, it will not have any energy in it. Yet you must have energy to be able to tend the crops. How to get going? Lets go into the Kitchen first. Its right by the Office.
First of all, look to your right once inside the door. There is a collection of cookbooks on the wall right next to the door; if you click on it, it will give you a menu of ingredients. Each button can be clicked to give you a NC for a different ingredient; the NC will list all the recipes which include that ingredient. For this dish, all we need is Fish, so you will scroll through the menu, find that button, and click it. Once youve accepted the NC, scroll down it until you find Grilled Fish. The NC tells you that this will give you 21 EP (energy points) and requires 1 Fish. You can collapse the NC but until youve successfully completed the dish I recommend keeping it visible in the viewer so you can refer to it if you need to.
Now, where to get a fish? You may have received fish in your welcome pack; there is also a barrel of fish in the corner of the Kitchen, where they are available for 2 coins. If you look at your HUD, you have 15 coins, so more than enough to buy 1 fish to get you started! Stand close to the barrel and click on it. You will get a menu asking if you want to buy or cancel. Click buy; the barrel will take 2 of your coins and deliver one fish into your inventory. Now to the oven!
G&S calls the oven (or more properly the stove) a Magic Kitchen. As in the picture shown, you want to rez your fish pretty close to the, um, oven. Usually it will find your ingredient but if it doesnt, just click the oven and then click the Search button. Now, later on when we are making multi-ingredient recipes, it will be very important to rez items and add them in a particular order, but right now we dont have to worry about (happily). Click the button "Fish". Once the fish is shown within the blue menu, click the COOK button. Some pans will appear on the cooktop and the oven will tell you that it is cooking. When it is done, the pans disappear and a message will appear over the cooktop telling you to click the oven before your food burns. Click it and it will send the completed food to your inventory. Note: The name of the food item will be in Spanish first, then English. Spanish is the language in which the system was developed but if you dont have any Spanish, usually an English translation is right there.
Time to eat! Rez the Grilled Fish, then click on it. 21 energy points will be added to your energy meter. Now you are energized and ready to do chores!
