Configuration

Everything is in hz_cook/shared/config.lua. The content pack has no config of its own.

The keys most servers touch

Key	What it does
`Config.RequireItems`	`false` (default) — nothing is required or consumed. `true` — a real economy
`Config.RequireLighter`	a lighter is needed to light a station by hand
`Config.Charcoal.Enabled`	`false` removes the charcoal mechanic; the kettle then lights like the others
`Config.Charcoal.burnMs`	how long a full load burns — 30 minutes by default
`Config.Placement`	limits per player and per server, minimum gap, road / water / interior / slope checks
`Config.Jobs`, `Config.StationJobs`	restrict cooking to a job, globally or per station
`Config.Cooking.lidOpenFactor`	the lid-open penalty, `2.5` by default
`Config.Cooking.autoBurn`	food left on the grill keeps cooking to burnt
`Config.Progressbar.type`	`'3d'` for the prop above the food, `'ox'` for the ox_lib bar
`Config.Locale`	`en`, `fr` or `id`

Economy on or off

Config.RequireItems is the single switch that decides whether the food costs anything.

Off (default) — the bins offer every ingredient without stock, nothing is consumed, and players cook freely. Good for a roleplay server where the cooking is the point, not the supply chain. On — ingredients must be held and are consumed, the bins hold real stock, and the charcoal bag empties for good.

Placement rules

Config.Placement decides where a station may go and how many exist:

how many stations a single player may have out at once
how many exist on the server in total
the minimum gap between two stations
whether roads, water, interiors and slopes are allowed

Translating

hz_cook/locales/expansions/bbq.lua holds the ingredient labels for the three languages, and is the only file of the barbecue pack you are meant to open. It merges into HZ-Cook's own strings rather than replacing them, so Config.Locale still decides the language. A missing key falls back to the label shipped in the pack data.

The framework's own strings are in hz_cook/locales/.
