Food

__NOWYSIWYG__
Food is a necessity among the survivors, just like for every living human. One must eat to stay alive and energized, or one will gradually grow weaker until they suffer a slow and painful death by starvation.
Staying nourished is getting increasingly harder in this new world, especially when you train yourself a lot by killing zombies, as that requires a lot of energy, proteins and other minerals have become quite rare since the outbreak. 
== Hunger System ==
In the beginning, everyone starts with 100% Nourishment. While staying logged in and at an outpost, 1% Nourishment is lost every 30 minutes, but if you are wandering through the Inner City, 1% Nourishment is lost every two minutes.
When you are starving for too long (hunger is at 0%), 1% Health Point (HP) is lost every hour, so food is essential to keep yourself alive in the long run. While staying logged out, 1% Hunger is lost every hour, with a maximum loss of 3%.
Your Hunger Status affects the amount of Experience Points (EXP) you earn per zombie kill. With 75% or more nourishment, 150% EXP will be earned whereas between 50-74%, only 120% EXP will be earned, 25-49% you only earn 90% EXP, and 24% or less you only earn 60%. A smart survivor always keeps his stomach full.
A large assortment of foods can be found in the Inner City, while Farmers can generate premium foods that are far more nourishing than lootable ones. Most Food types can be cooked to clean them of possible bacteria or simply make them more delicious, which ultimately increases their nourishment effectiveness. Chefs which are equal to or above the required Cooking Level of certain food items can cook it to triple its effectiveness.
Every Food type has a level of effectiveness, which means that everyone under and equal to the Nutrition Level will be able to use the food item to its full effect.
If you are 1 - 10 Levels above the Nutrition Level of an item (Example: A survivor that is between 31 to level 40 inclusive, eats Level 30 Rice) then you will be only able to restore 3% of your Hunger with it, 9% if the food is cooked. All food that is of even lower quality cannot nourish you if it's raw (example: A level 41~50 person eats Baked Beans) and only gives you 1% Nourishment if cooked.
=== Important Notes ===
* Your Hunger Status stays the same when you die and revive afterwards.
* Hunger affects EXP gain, so be sure to stay Nourished when you plan to train on zombies.
* All Level 80 Food currently works for every survivor up to Level 325.
* If you are a Service Class (Chef / Doctor / Engineer), you will lose a good deal of nourishment per hire or whenever you use your skills for yourself, so be sure to include these losses in your financial and training plans. The current Nourishment losses are 8%, 8%, 10% for the Chef, Doctor and Engineer Classes respectively.
===Hunger Indicators===
* Nourished = 75% - 100% 
* Fine = 50% - 74% 
* Hungry = 25% - 49% 
* Starving = 0% - 24%
