What are your food rules early game?

[Tamalak]

When you start the game you have a big opportunity and dilemma.. an empty ravenous bar. The longer you wait to eat, the higher quality the food it'll be and thus the more use you get out of that bar.. but that means delaying stat growth and thereby sacrificing early LP.

What is your plan for food early game? When do you start eating at all? When do you start eating gratuitously if ever?

I just eat while at 100% or 200%. The percentage doesn't matter that much if you stuff your face with everything you find. Gotta have that sweet early stat growth

Avoid eating berries and fruits off trees (too much hunger filled, not enough FEPs/energy). They do make good "filler" food because they're rarely more than a small percentage of your FEP bar.

Fish rules. Find a good node and save anything that works as bait.

If you can find some salt early on, snag as much as you can and abuse it like there is no tomorrow.

Early game int and perc. See more study more.

Sucking blueberries off the floor of the woods works well, eating tonnes of Perch and other fish is also good early game.

I basically just eat everything i find, except berries and tree fruits, like the others said. With apples being an exception, half an FEP is pretty good early-on.

Apples take 4% hunger though??

TBH according to my calculations, early game the food variety bonus is more important than actual FEP. Which means the part that really matters is only eating foods that satisfy 1% hunger (as opposed to more). So down with apples and down with roasted meats. Up with berries and especially up with blueberries/larvae and the like.

Eat everything. When you got some meat and sausage mill, kill yourself and eat all the sausages.

kill yourself

Asking someone else to kill you too is also ok.
