The electric stove is a production bech used for preparing meals and psychite tea. It is the powered equivalent to the fueled stove.
Acquisition[edit]
Electric stoves can be constructed once the Electricity research project has been completed. Each requires 80 Steel, 2 Components, 2,000 ticks (33.33 secs) of work modified by the construction speed of the builder, and a construction skill of 4.

Analysis[edit]
Any colonist that prepares a meal has a chance to contaminate it and cause food poisoning. That chance is determined by the colonist's stat for Food Poison Chance, which is determined by their cooking skill level. A level 0 cook has a 5% chance. A level 9 cook and above has a 0.1% chance, while extremely rare, it can still happen. A player would likely want to use the best cooker available to minimize food poisoning chances.
Vegetarian simple meals can be forced by removing all meat options from the simple meal bill. Vegetarian fine/lavish meals are their own separate bill, which require more resources than their regular counterparts.
Both campfires and fueled stoves can be used instead, but require wood, so they will be less efficient if an electricity source is already established.
An active electric stove will generate some heat, and a 70% cooking penalty is applied if the temperature is less than 10 °C (50 °F), so be mindful of placing a freezer. They could also be used as a minor source of heat in a frigid climate.
