Skills integration ​

  • Cooking XP is granted through exports['metaden-skills']:AddExperience(identifier, 'cooking', amount) on successful cooking.
  • When Config.UseMetaDenSkills = true, cooking menu progression reads current cooking XP through metaden-outdoors:server:requestCookingSkillData and unlocks recipes by recipe.cooking threshold.
