📋 About This Mod

Food is less filling, weight and price adjustments, alcohol heals but doesn't satisfy hunger, less food from bees and animals. And other minor changes to increase immersion.

Why this mod:

To make more balance in food nutritious/weight/price (and to make Henry eat more).

It's very easy to get food in the game without spending money (honestly) and ensure a comfortable existence. I reviewed ~250 food items in the game and decided to make it a little more difficult. If you don't have enough food, buy it or go hunting.

Main changes in food:

- Overall, food is less nutritious (by about 40%, but it depends on the dish), many dishes heal slightly and have a greater impact on fatigue.

- Alcohol is not nutritious (except beer) and drains energy, but it heals well (still you can't drink much of those).

- Adjustments have been made to the storage time and weight of food items (dried food can now spoil).

- The cost of some items has been slightly adjusted (I increased the nutritional value of fruits and vegetables, so I raised their price)

- Fresh fruits and vegetables heals and give slight energy (vitamins), but don't satiate much.

- Cooked meat (and to a lesser extent, smoked meat) satisfies hunger well, provides some healing, but makes you sleepier (after a tasty meal, you want to sleep).

- Dried foods are good for storing and traveling - they spoil slowly and are light, but they satisfy hunger less well and don't heal.

- Smoked food is roughly halfway between cooked and dried.

- Water restores health and refreshes (its price has also increased)

- The Ascetic perk only reduces hunger by 10%.

Cooked Meat:  healing+ nutrition ++ energy-

Dried meat:          nutrition+

Vegetables and fruits:   healing+ nutrition+    energy+

Alcohol (except beer):   healing ++      energy-

Beer:    healing+  nutrition+     energy-

All food changes are available in Miscellaneous files

Other changes:

1. Animals yield half as much meat. Bees produce less honey (but you can still see 10 honeys because its already spawned - next spawn will be less).

2. Ascetic_digestion perk now only 10% reduce hunger (30% in vanilla)

3. art_of_preservation  perk only 20% reduce food spoil (50% in vanilla)

4. cistota_pul_zdravi perk heals 15% better (25% in vanilla) (also I wanted to reduce healing to 5 when washing in barrels (10 in vanilla), but cant find parameter to edit)

Compatibility with other mods:

Not guaranteed. I don't use other food and loot drop mods, so I don't know. Please write this in the comments.

1. 02 of this mod modifies only 3 perks, loot drop (halves) and changes next food values: HealthBenefit, RefreshBenefit, NutritionBenefit, DecayTime, Weight, Price, Id, Name.

Additional files I recommend:

1. rb_time_ratio - increa
