Sometimes you may find yourself running around your base, taking care of certain tasks, dashing through caves, or needing to get from one place to another.
As this can be a tedious thing to do, it is necessary to progress better in Ark but with just the normal speed at which you do things, it can take some time.
Luckily, you can always craft some Focal Chili, which will help you out when it comes to moving around as well as crafting.
Focal Chili Effects
When you consume Focal Chili, your Movement Speed will increase by 25%, and Crafting Speed will increase by 100%
This means that it will be easier for you to get around since it takes less time to get from point A to point B with less effort.
The addition of an increase in Crafting Speed will improve the rate at which items you craft will be complete in your inventory or when using a crafting structure.
The duration of the effects of Focal Chili will last up to 900 seconds which begins immediately after you have consumed the food item.
Focal Chili Crafting Skill
While some may be wondering if Focal Chili has an effect on Crafting Skill, it appears that it only affects the quality of Custom Recipe food.
The only way it will affect your crafting is just by increasing the rate at which your items will be crafted, speeding them up to craft more in a smaller amount of time.
How to Make Focal Chili (Recipe)
The Focal Chili can be cooked in a Cooking Pot or an Industrial Cooker, which must have a supply of water and fire to cook. Below are the Focal Chili ingredients:

Focal Chili Not Cooking
Sometimes players may notice that Focal Chili does not cook and this may be caused by a few reasons which can easily be solved.
Be sure to check that you have all the ingredients require in whatever cooking station you are using and make sure there is a supply of water.
If you are crafting more than one type of food at a time, it may be possible that one of the ingredients of Focal Chili has been consumed by another recipe.
If Focal Chili does not cook, try to remove the other ingredients to make sure there is no conflict in materials when you are cooking.
