Use Rules
| Target | What happens |
|---|---|
| Eligible tamed baby with no mutation food used | Consumes the correct brew or kit and receives its effect |
| Baby that already used a brew or kit | Consume is disabled; item stays in inventory |
| Naturally mutated wild baby | Already locked; cannot receive another mutation food |
| Adult, wild creature, player, or wrong tier | Refuses the item |
| Chromatic dose | Uses the baby's one dose even though it gives color only |
No engram unlock is needed, and there is no physical recipe blueprint to find—the recipes are added directly to the standard Cooking Pot and Industrial Cooker when the mod is active.
