How to use food
Food is divided into several types:
- Raw, edible – plants, roots, fruits and vegetables that you can find while exploring new areas or grow on your own farm. Give a small increase in parameters for a short time. Can be collected by finding bushes in the open world;
- Raw, inedible – raw meat and poisonous mushrooms, which cause negative effects when consumed;
- Cooked on fire – a dish that you can bake yourself, piece by piece. It will take some time manually, but if you get distracted and overexpose the ingredient, it will become an ingredient tar. This includes cooked raw meat and mushrooms. To start cooking, you need to put the product in the quick slot and sit near the fire. After opening the hearth at the Farmer’s Wife, you can bake such ingredients passively and in any quantity;
- Cooked in a cauldron — if you complete the Farmer’s Wife quest line, you will have a hearth for food. Place it in your home to create complex dishes while interacting with the farmer’s wife.
You can use raw food right away, dry it in a dryer, mix it according to the farmer’s recipe or cook it over a fire. The more complex the cooking process, the more parameters you will receive and the longer its duration will be.
You can use any three dishes (four if you take the Dessert perk in the Survivalist tree). You can’t eat the same type of food at the same time (for example, you can’t eat multiple vegetables even though they provide different benefits). The duration is indicated at the top left, below the mana bar, but the buffs end once your health reaches zero.
