How this tier list works

One metric, one formula, every item.

Values come from each item's AttributeRestorationMap; cooked dishes already include their cooking factor.

Each item's percentile within its group sets the band: S ≥ 90, A ≥ 70, B ≥ 45, C ≥ 20, D below. Ties share a percentile.

Reloads, spread, weight and price are not part of the ranking; compare items side by side for those. Methodology

56 Permafrost consumables (medication excluded) are ranked by the sum of attributes one use restores. Energy Dish leads at +250 restored; 6 items reach S tier: Energy Dish, Healthy Dish, Health & Warming Dish, Ultra Dish (H/W/E). Bands are percentile cuts of the same calculation, so a new patch moves items without anyone re-judging them. Stack size and availability matter too: the food landing page ranks per-stack value and lists where each item comes from.
