Cordon Bleu
Cordon Bleu was created by Kinniken, is freeware and available for all three of ATITD's OSs.
It predicts the duration of recipes using data from the wiki's duration table section and helps players make better bases using it.
Some knowledge of how cooking works is recommended, but playing with recipes is easy to do with this tool.
Cordon Bleu may be downloaded at http://kstudio.net/temp/cordonbleu/
The zip files from the link above contain very old data files - download the latest ones from this page's attachments (below) and put them in the Cordon Bleu directory in place of the ingredients.txt and relationships.txt files.
Known problems
- version 0.2.6 incorrectly calculates the time of negative duration recipes (rounding error?) - results may be a minute or so off. However, negative durations recipes have no use, so this isn't a big issue. Positive duration recipes are calculated correctly.
Unfortunately, Kinniken has left Egypt due to RL issues and is no longer able to maintain the program. However, updates to the wiki duration data continues and data files will be attached to this page. To use the updated data files, download them and put them in the Cordon Bleu directory in place of the ingredients.txt (rare changes) and relationships.txt (more frequent changes) files.
