Requirements: We can add variables to make the player need something in particular to be able to use our recipe (Eg: Schematics)
Ingredients: The items we are gonna need to make our recipe.
Output: The result of the cooking/crafting.
Ok, now we can start filling up this tab, for the ID we are gonna to put an easy to find name, for now just write aaaMyRecipe, this will be our editor reference in the Object Window.
For the name we are gonna put Strange Meat Pie as we said before for this tutorial. On the Required Skill let's leave as is for now, but you can put whatever you want, usually for food the Survival skill is used frequently in New Vegas. But for now we want just to be able to cook our recipe immediatly.
On the Category part select campfire and on Subcategory, Food.

On the new tab we have some more options:
Category: The type of item.
Component: The entity of the item itself.

It will appear the small tab as before, just select StrangeMeatPie in the Component option. and then click OK.
Our recipe is done, click OK on the recipe inspector and save your plugin.
Now your new recipe will be listed when using a campfire for cooking food.
NOTE: The item icon used on the crafting menu is the one of the Output item.
[5] - Sample file

The sample Addon adds a chest with all the needed ingredients and a campfire outside the store in Good Springs (on the side of the store).

In addition to housing considered 'owned,' many locations can serve as viable safehouses. They will not, however, confer the benefits of owned properties.
