Food and Drink

## Overview

Food and Drink are consumable items that reduce hunger and thirst and may also remove the negative health effects that come as a result of hunger and thirst. Most food/drink items also have restorative effects on health, stamina, and energy levels - and many also provide positive buffs on these and other stats or skills.

This article will contain a list of the food and drink items that can be found in \_\_\_\_\_.

## Gameplay

All food/drink consumable items have an "Amount left" percentage, shown in the inventory menu when viewing the item or as a small HUD element when the item is equipped to the hand. Many food/drink items that can be found or scavenged are unopened and brand new - meaning their "Amount left" percentage will be at 100%. Sometimes, already opened food items can be found, and their "Amount left" percentages can range from 1-99%. Obviously enough, consuming the food/drink item by holding down the designated button will slowly decrease the "Amount left" value, while slowly restoring the hunger/thirst level bar towards 0 (0 means no hunger/thirst?). At zero, the food/drink item is totally consumed and is removed from the player character's inventory. This gameplay mechanic allows for careful rationing of food/drinks and other strategies. However, some items - a stick of gum - are bite-sized and therefore consumed extremely fast and cannot really be rationed or saved for later.

##### **Perishables:**

Perishable food/drink items are usually fruits, vegetables, meats, and dairy products that have a limited life - they each have a "rotting timer" that determines the food/drink more and more unsafe to eat as it ticks closer to 0. This means the risk for contracting a foodborne illness or other negative health condition is slowly increasing as the rotting timer ticks closer to 0. Once it reaches 0, the food/drink item is rotten or spoiled and completely unsafe to eat. Also, the nutritional benefits slowly decrease over time as the food ages. Generally, perishable food/drink items provide much more nutrition and restore much more hunger/thirst when compared to any of the other kinds of food/drink items, due to being fresh and not processed.

## List of Food/Drink Items:

##### **Food vs Drink:**

Food and drink are under the same category of consumables. Whether something is a food item or a drink item can become confusing in some cases. The main difference between the two is that food items primarily restore hunger while drink items primarily restore thirst - however to a lesser degree many food items also restore thirst somewhat and many drink items restore hunger somewhat.

Food/Drink items can be separated into 2 categories: perishables and non-perishables. These separate categories may really only matter in survival mode, where food & drink is required for the player character to survive, and perishable items "go bad" after a certain period of time.
