食物
Food is essential for surviving and can be found in the wild, farmed or hunted. Food items fill your hunger bar to varying degrees given by "food value" in the table below.
Being closer to optimal temperature will slow your food meter consumption, described via the following equation:
FoodConsumedPerMinute = 60 / [2 + 20 * (1 - 2 * ABS{playerTemperature-0.5} )]
Some foods require special tools to harvest (e.g. Burdock, Wild Carrot), or complex recipes to craft (e.g. Pork Taco). Foods such as pies and bowl of gooseberries can be 'used' multiple times, making them an efficient portable food option when traveling.
The Psilocybe Mushroom is a special food item which, while returning only one bar of hunger, has the special quality of subjecting the player to certain visual effects.
Excluding the Psilocybe mushroom, food can be fed to other players, which can be especially useful when there are no available fertile females to feed a baby directly. However, caution is suggested, as it is possible to waste food by overfeeding another player when their hunger bar (which is invisible to other players) is close to full capacity. Feeding another player can also reset their Yum Bonus, and is ill-advised in most situations.
Yum Bonus
Eating a variety of foods will give you an additional "Yum Bonus", which stacks for every different type of food you consume without repetition. An icon in the lower left status bar will indicate if a held food is "Yum" or "Meh". Eating a "Meh" food will reset the Yum Bonus to zero.
The Yum Bonus also influences the birth algorithm - A fertile female with an ideal temperature and a high yum bonus will birth more babies.
Food Bonus
Because food variety is low in the game, there is also a "Food Bonus". All food items provide an additional flat bonus added to their Food value at time of consumption, along with the Yum bonus. As of v.173, the current Food Bonus is 2.
