==Nutrition and Satiation== <!--T:70-->

 

===Satiety=== <!--T:72-->

===Nutrition=== <!--T:73-->

Where satiety is the basic survival condition, nutrition is a way to gain bonuses by eating a variety of different foods instead of just relying on the same thing all day, every day. Player nutrition includes four categories, displayed in the character dialog: protein, vegetable, grain, and fruit. Gaining satiety from eating any food also increases the bar for the nutrient group that the food belonged to. Meals cooked from multiple ingredients can increase multiple nutrient levels at the same time. Like satiety, nutrient levels decrease over time. Keeping all four nutrient levels topped up requires a balanced diet.

<!--T:74-->

As the nutrient bars fill up, the player's maximum health increases. The player starts with 15 base health points at default settings, and each nutrient can add another 2.5 hp when fully satisfied, for a total of up to 10 bonus hp in total. This bonus is very useful when exploring the deepest reaches of the world, where very dangerous creatures roam.

The first opportunity for making better food comes with the [[firepit]]. A small number of foraged or hunted ingredients can be placed directly into it for processing. Additionally,  it is used for baking dough into bread.

<!--T:80-->

The following table lists all the food items that can be processed in the firepit:

===Making Bread=== <!--T:82-->

<!--T:83-->

In return, bread is one of the best ways to process grains that exists in the game, with an at least five-fold yield multiplier compared to eating the raw grain.

==Advanced Cooking== <!--T:85-->

[[File:PotInFirepit.png|300px|thumb|right|Cooking a stew in a fire pit]]

[[File:Jam.png|300px|thumb|right|Each ingredient should be placed in separate slots, and equal amounts of all ingredients must be added.]]

<!--T:86-->

Advanced cooking allows the player to make meals out of multiple ingredients, which can potentially supply multiple nutrition groups at he same time. Cooking increases the food values of all ingredients used, and provides additional benefits and convenience. A single pot can potentially contain thousands of satiety points; meals can be kept fresh for very long times in sealed crockpots; eating meals will outright halt satiety loss for a time; and the player will never waste any food from a meal when it provides more satiety than they need. Instead, they simply leave a partially-eaten serving that can be finished at a later time.

<!--T:87-->

To begin, craft at least one bowl and one claypot using the [[Clay_Forming|clay forming]] mechanic, and fire them like all ceramics in a firepit. Placing the fired claypot into the fire pit input slot (upper left) will open up an additional four-slot inventory above the input slot, in which ingredients can be combined into one of the five available meal types. The meal type players create is determined by which two "required" ingredients are placed into the claypot first.

<!--T:88-->

* '''To create one serving of any meal''': place one of each required item into two separate claypot slots (this defines the meal type). For example, a porridge requires "two grain", so a player must add two individual pieces of grain in any two input slots in the claypot. Placing two grain in one input slot of the claypot ''will not'' create a porridge. Adding "optional" ingredients in the other two input slots of the claypot will increase the nutrition value and satiation of the meal depending on which items are added. When a valid meal recipe (combining correct ingredients) is placed into the input slots, a message will appear in the claypot dialog box informing players about what type of meal will be created after cooking.

* '''To cook multiple servings of a meal''': increase the number of ingredient items added to all slots equally. The claypot allows players to cook up to 6 servings of any meal at a time.  When creating multiple servings all the items in the input slots must be increased by the same amount, or the food will not cook!

* '''To fill a bowl''': A bowl holds one meal portion and may be filled from a claypot or food storage crock. To fill a bowl, place the container of cooked food onto a solid surface. With the empty bowl in the active hand use RMB on the claypot or crock. Bowls and crocks may be filled with meals while the claypot is in the firepit. Bowls of food may be carried in player inventories, stored in stationary containers, and placed on shelves. ''Bowls cannot be filled from crocks on shelves.''

* '''To eat a meal''': Food may be consumed from a filled bowl. With the filled bowl in an active hotbar slot, eat using RMB. Players will eat until full, which may leave partial portions of food in the bowl.  

* '''To store meals''': Four portions of any cooked meal can be stored in an empty crock. Place the pot onto the ground or table and right click the pot with an empty crock to transfer meals to the storage crock. Storage crocks may be sealed for long term storage using fat or wax in the crafting grid, Crocks may also be carried in player inventories, stored in stationary containers, and placed on shelves.

===Advanced Cooking Food Values=== <!--T:92-->

The satiation received from eating meals is equal to the sum of its parts. The ingredients added to create the meal determine how much satiation and which class of nutrition a player receives. In addition, the food values of most ingredients are increased via cooking, as shown in the table below. Only pickled ingredients remain unchanged, providing the same amount of value in a meal as they would when eaten individually.

* Ingredients not listed in this table cannot be used in meals. Pickled variants of listed ingredients can be used, but are worth less.

* Currants include black currant, red currant, and white currant berries.

* Ingredients that restore player health when eaten raw, such as saguaro fruits or honey, lose this benefit when cooked.<br />However, cooking a fly agaric mushroom does not remove its harmful effects - the meal will still damage the player!
