• Read the objective tracker after every major interaction; many ICARUS prospects reveal the next step only after the current one completes.

• Stage resources at the hand-in or build site before triggering final timers, wildlife waves, or extraction travel.

• If the guide has a manifest above, build the Hard list first when possible; it covers lower-difficulty planning and avoids under-packing.

• Keep the return route open. A finished objective still fails the run if the crew cannot safely reach the dropship or delivery pod.

Preparation

• Start with a bedroll, campfire or shelter kit, oxygen and water storage, bandages, splints, and enough food to cover the full route.
• Assign one player to navigation and one to resource accounting so the crew does not duplicate long hauls or miss a delivery line.
• Use the loadout list below as the minimum kit, then add mission-specific tools before launch.

Hazards and controls

• No special hazard is recorded, so default to storm shelter, wound treatment, spare tools, and enough ammunition for unexpected predators.
• Long travel remains the risk: mark caves, water, and emergency shelter locations as you move.

Execution checklist

• Before drop: confirm prerequisite unlocks, mission timer, loadout, and who carries shared deployables.
• On landing: locate water, set a respawn point, and confirm the first objective marker before building a permanent base.
• Mid-run: consolidate loot and mission items at one marked cache; keep one repair kit and medical stack on each player.
• Before extract: verify every optional delivery, reward unlock, and follow-up objective is complete before leaving orbit-side cargo behind.

Overview

Celebrity Chef is a high-volume cooking prospect: deliver finished dishes to two delicacy pods — Marshland and Alpine. The recipe counts scale by difficulty (see the manifest above), and everything runs through a T3 Biofuel Stove and Kitchen Bench, so stand up that kitchen before anything else. Spoilage is the real enemy: build between the two drop-offs and keep ingredients cold.

Hints & tips

• Forecast: Pulse — expect periodic environmental/activity spikes; plan harvesting between pulses.
• The mission requires saltwater fish — found in the Swamp and Volcanic areas.
• There is an abundance of wheat near the drop location.
  • Drop Location: around J9
  • Marshland Delicacies Pod: around top of K5
  • Alpine Delicacies Pod: around the bottom of F9
• Building your base near J8's pond helps, given the spoilage time on some items and its position between the two drop-off points.
• Workshop seed packets can make some ingredients easier (but slower) to farm. Harvesting by hand with a sickle gives more yield.
• Make an Ice Box to store ingredients and products.
• Beer, Wine and Berry Jam do not spoil.
• You need the T3 Biofuel Stove and Kitchen Bench (or better) to craft these recipes; the Butchery Bench or Basic Fishing Bench handles the fish fillets.
• Easy-difficulty raw-resource totals (grab extras for spoilage during crafting): 355 Wild Berry, 20 Reed Flower, 250 Silica Ore, 50 Iron Ore, 2150 Wheat, 65 Yeast, 30 Watermelon, 45 Saltwater Fish Fillet, 30 Freshwater Fish Fillet, 45 Carrot, 45 Raw Meat, 45 Mushroom, 45 Soy Bean, 5500 mL Water.
  • Basic Fishing Traps gather fish without spoiling them in the trap: ~8 traps in Marshlands (saltwater), ~5 in Grass Plains (freshwater). You get 1 fillet per ~3.33 kg of fish when filleting.
