QuoteCooking Grenades
This mod adds grenade cooking mechanics and realistic fuse time randomization.
✨ Features
Cooking
- Allows cooking of grenades (holding before throwing).
- Cooking only starts after the safety pull ring removal animation is complete.
- Prevents storing the grenade back into inventory while cooking.
Cooking Method
- Hold the mouse button to prepare to throw the grenade.
- Press the opposite mouse button to start cooking.
- Release the originally held button to throw the cooked grenade.
- (note) Originally planned to spawn a Unity object that explodes when the timer expires, but due to complexity, the system was simplified:
- Grenade is automatically thrown when the fuse time expires.
Cooking Notification (Optional)
- Optionally displays a notification when cooking begins.
Realistic Fuse Time Randomization
- Fuse times follow a normal distribution.
- Adjustable using the
FuseTimeSpreadFactorparameter.Inventory UI Toggle
- Toggle between showing the default fuse time or the randomized fuse time in the inventory UI.
Fuse Time Tester
- tool to test and visualize fuse time distributions for debugging and balance.
Installation
- Unzip into your SPT folder.
Configuration
Options
0. Cooking Grenades
EnableCookingNotification(Default:false)
- Shows a notification when grenade cooking begins.
ShowDefaultFuseTimeInInventoryUI(Default:true)
- If
true, displays the default fuse time in the inventory UI. Iffalse, shows the randomized value.1. Realistic Fuse Time
RealisticFuseTimeEnable(Default:true)
- Enables or disables fuse time randomization.
FuseTimeSpreadFactor(Default:0.085, Range:0.001 ~ 0.6)
- Controls the variability of fuse times. Higher values increase randomness.
2. Realistic Fuse Time Tester
TimeSimulationValue(Default:5.0, Range:1.0 ~ 10.0)
- The base fuse time to simulate in the tester.
FuseTimeTestCount(Default:10000, Range:1 ~ 100000)
- Number of iterations for the fuse time distribution test.
TimeSimulationOutput(Default:false)
- Set to
trueto run the simulation once. Results are logged toBepInEx/LogOutput.log.3. Debug
DebugGUI(Default:false)
- Enables a GUI to display cooking time (for debugging).
UserWarningConfirmed(Default:false, Advanced)
- Confirms user acknowledgment of warnings (hidden in advanced settings).

Grenade Cooking Guide
This section outlines real-world safety procedures for “cooking off” grenades, adapted from military training manuals.
🍳 Cooking Off
Definition
“Cooking off” is the practice of using part of the grenade’s delay time before throwing, causing it to detonate aboveground or shortly after impact.
Steps for Cooking Off
- Remove the safety clip.
- Disengage pull ring from confidence clip (if equipped).
- Remove the pull ring and safety pin.
- Release the safety lever.
- Count: “one thousand one, one thousand two” (about 2 seconds).
- Throw the grenade in a high arc.
- Seek cover until detonation.
Purpose
- Shortens time between impact and explosion.
- Useful for aboveground or near-impact detonation.
⚠️ Warnings on Cooking Off
- Do not cook off live fragmentation grenades in training.
- Use the cook-off procedure only with grenades that have a fuze setting of 4 seconds or greater in a combat environment.
- Never cook off the following grenades:
- M84 (stun grenade / flashbang)
- M18, M83, M14 (smoke or special-purpose grenades)
- These often have 1.0 to 2.3 second fuzes — extremely dangerous.
- Cooking off exploding, bursting, or burning-type grenades can cause death or serious injury.
