Food

Overview

Food is a representation of how fed you currently are. You will gradually become more hungry over time, but actions that consume  Stamina will also drain your food. If your character is  Cold, they will become hungry faster. If your Food reaches 0, you will  Starve, draining your  Health and gradually increasing  Torpidity. Food can be restored by eating  Berries,  Meat,  Prime Meat,  Fish,  Prime Fish,  Jerky (from all sorts of cooked meat and fish), or  Eggs.

Stamina and Healing

When your health/Stamina is reduced from its maximum it will increase over time when the cause of the decrease stops (no longer in combat, not running/swimming, etc). This increase will cause the food stat to decrease at an accelerated rate which can easily result in your character starving if not managed properly.

Increasing

Putting a point into Food will increase your maximum Food by 10. This does not have any effect on the nutrition or food values of what you eat, but allows you have more digested food at once, which will therefore take longer to reach 0.

Notes

• When you eat food, your hunger is not immediately refilled. It instead gives you a hunger regeneration effect, the total amount of which depends on what you eat.
• Eating more Food than your Food bar can hold will not hurt you, but it will not carry over either. It will simply waste food.
• You can also eat  Raw (Food= +10 & Health= -5) or  Spoiled (Food= +3.5 & Health= -12) meat, but this will lower your health and only provide a slight Food increase.
