How does it play?
Now when you find food, you will find various tiers, usually related to the cost and rarity of the food. It's not just another piece of food, but you may need a higher tier later to get you through tougher encounters.
Playing as a Chef with Gastronomy can be quite powerful as the only reliable source of 20% health will be high tier crafted food. A few very expensive served meals out there can be found but they still won't compete with the buffs and health of good home made food.
All alcohol now provides the benefit of making you better at talking to people. And most tiers are now a slight buff from previous persuasion chances. Very high class alcohol will provide the greatest benefit if you really need to schmooze someone, dish out for the best. But if you want to have a chat with anyone difficult, at least have a beer.
Non-alcoholic drinks are now just generally more useful, I've barely touched them because proving long buffs to O2 capacity, recovery, and water specifically only doing action use, are all useful to have because they will last long enough in encounters to matter.
Compatibility
Will not be compatible with anything that touches Food and Drink records.
Compatible with any sustenance mods or the vanilla sustenance system. All the same effects for that are still there.
Installation
Gluttony is a gameplay overhaul that changes food and drink buffs to longer durations with no health restoration. Food grants 5% to 20% increased health for 30 minutes, while alcoholic drinks offer 5% to 20% persuasion chance for 15 minutes. A niche mod with 71 endorsements, last updated June 2025.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Turns food into a strategic pre-buff tool instead of a heal spam, which is a fresh take for survival players.
- The 30-minute duration means you can prep before a big fight and actually feel it.
- Alcohol now has a real use in dialogue builds with that persuasion boost.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 71 endorsements, so it's a niche pick — you're in a small club if you grab this.
- No health restore on food means you'll need other healing sources, which might break your usual loop.
- Description cuts off mid-sentence, so you're flying blind on what else is changed.
For players who want to rethink how they use consumables, turning food into a pre-buff system rather than a heal. If you're into min-maxing stats for combat or persuasion, this gives you new tools. Skip if you rely on food for emergency healing or want a complete overhaul with full documentation.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since food no longer heals, stock up on potions or other healing items before heading into dangerous areas.
- Plan your meals before big encounters — pop a food buff 30 minutes before a boss fight to get the health boost.
- If you're playing a charisma-focused character, use alcoholic drinks before dialogue checks to boost your persuasion chance.
