How to obtain food

"Bread is the staff of life". Whenever and wherever we are, we must meet our most basic physiological needs first - food needs.

In Mission EVO, Survivors live in a real apocalyptic world, where they experience both hunger and thirst. We can see these two physiological states below the character's HP in the top left corner of the screen. The yellow one represents Calories, and the blue one represents Hydration.

These two states are closely related to our physical health, and we'll focus on Calories in this guide.

When Calories are at 0, you lose HP over time. At this time, there will be flashes around your game screen, which is a reminder from the system that you need to eat food as soon as possible.

On the contrary, when Survivors have high Calories and are in “Satiated” state, the HP can be slowly recovered. At the same time, there will be a green Satiated buff under HP. Survivors can click it to see specific Survival Stats and recovery. If not in a combat state, Survivors can choose to recover HP in this way to avoid consuming medical supplies that are relatively rare.

Eating food can increase Calories, and the higher the food quality is, the more Calories it recovers. We can obtain food directly from exploring Civilization Ruins and Supply Stacks. For instance, we can obtain food such as Pumpkin Bread, Bacon and Eggs from Food Boxes or Misc Boxes.

In addition, we can cook food on our own. Before we start cooking, we need to obtain food ingredients from the wild. Currently, the available food ingredients for collection include mushrooms, honeysuckle, corn, tomatoes, etc. Some food ingredients can be eaten directly to recover Calories and Hydration. For instance, eating tomatoes can recover 5 Calories and Hydration. Of course, cooked food ingredients can recover more Calories and Hydration.

So where can we obtain food ingredients? It's easy! All collectible items can be seen through the Map Mark. We just click the map and check all the plants we want to collect in the Map Mark-Plant Mark, and we can see the specific location of plants on the map, and then all we need to do is walk to the mark to collect it.

In addition, I'll also briefly introduce the ways to obtain other food ingredients here.

## Meat:

You can obtain Meat by killing wild animals. Animals will run away when attacked, so you need to be quick, fierce, and accurate when you make your move. Don't let the prey slip away from your hands.

Different animals are distributed in different areas of the map, such as lions on Littleton and cows on the Red Pine Ranch, which are generally distributed outside the town.

## Egg:

It's also a very important food ingredient, and we can only obtain Eggs from chickens. Chickens are generally distributed in plain areas.

After gathering the food ingredients, we need to use the facilities to cook. Pay attention! We could only cook food by using a Campfire or Fireplace. One of these two facilities needs to be placed first.

For now, there is no difference between the two facilities, and we recommend Campfire for beginners. Compared with Fireplace, the materials needed to make a campfire are less, and the recipe of Campfire is Unlocked by default, and no additional consumption of Scrap is required to unlock it.

If you want to cook with Fireplace, you need to unlock the recipe in the Tech Tree first, and then obtain it by crafting at the Workbench.

Once Campfire or Fireplace is in place, we can start cooking. Note that we can only cook food that has been unlocked from the recipe. We will provide detailed explanations on how to unlock Fireplace blueprint and various recipes in another guide.

Moreover, please keep upgrading your Workbench to unlock more advanced recipes.

Well, now that you know how to obtain food, but another problem arises: the food ingredients you obtained from the wild are scarce and require you a lot of time.

These food ingredients are scattered, so we need to go to many places to collect a sufficient quantity of food ingredients. So, is there any way to help us solve this problem?

Of course, here we need to introduce you to another feature in the game: Plant.

Before Plant, we need to unlock the recipe for Planter Box and craft it, then place it in our territory.

Then we just sprinkle the Seed, and Seed is also made by Crafting. We click the Crafting button at the top right of the screen and consume plants to obtain Seed.

Seed like Corn, Mushroom, Tomatoe can all be planted. Once the Seed have been planted, we just wait a while to harvest the crops. By Plant, we can easily obtain food ingredients.

The above is all the content of this guide. Survivors, please pay attention to your physical condition. Only by having a healthy body can we survive better in the doomsday.
