Food & Water: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 18:33, 3 March 2017

Food is a category of consumable items crafted from materials and caught creatures using the Fabricator. It is only available in Survival and Hardcore mode.

Nutrients, gained through food consumption, are required to maintain the player's food and water (H₂O) levels, or else the player risks dying from malnutrition or dehydration.

While some food can be eaten raw, this action dehydrates the player and yields significantly less nutrition than when it is cooked. The player can also choose to cure fish instead of cooking them, so as to make them immune to decay. Cured fish has the same food values as cooked fish, but dehydrates the player by -2 H₂O.

If too many food items are eaten at once, the AI announces "blood loss detected" and the player's food and water will decrease. No reason or explanation for this is given or known.

To consume food items the player can left-click on the item in the PDA.

Rot and Decay

Cooked food may raise the player's H₂O levels, but it also prone to rotting and decomposing. Curing fish instead of cooking them solves this problem but decreases hydration. Still, this is a preferable alternative for dealing with hunger when far from base or local fish are sparse, as cured fish are the only kind of food with any sort of long-term storage.

Cooked food slowly starts to lose its food and water value leading to Decomposition. The level will go as low as -25 H₂O and -25 food. During decomposition the food amount lowers slowly; but when it reaches a certain level the food becomes Ripe; Ripe food eventually becomes rotten when it reaches -1 food. It is recommended to eat the food while you can during the early stages of decomposition as you will still gain some hunger.

Stages of decomposition (Cooked Fish):

Starts after: ~2-3 min.
Decomposing: ~2-3 min.
Ripe: ~13-18 min.
Rotting: ~27-33 min.

It is possible to store live fish in storage containers that will not rot until the player is ready to cook them. However, stored cooked fish will still rot regardless.

Note that decomposition also applies to plant foods as well, and it is not possible to cook or cure them. While decomposed plants are similarly unhelpful for regaining nutrition, they can still be used for planting, or in the case of Creepvine, fabrication.
