Nutrition
Nutrition is a mechanic, added by the Nutrition mod, to reward the player in the form of status effects for eating a variety of different nourishing foods.
Nutrients
There are five different types of nutrients:
- Dairy
- Fruit
- Grain
- Protein
- Vegetable
Each nutrient can be increased by eating foods that have the same nutrient in the tool-tip seen while hovering over it. To view the current nutrient levels the carrot icon in the players inventory can be clicked to open another panel with all the nutrients.
Foods can have as little as one nutrient type up to all five on it. But for each additional nutrient type on the food the total nourishing effect of all the nutrients is decreased up to minus 60%, so it is a good idea to eat various types of foods that focus on each of the different nutrients.
Nutritional value of the food is derived from the amount of hunger restored divided by two minus the nutrient penalty if more than one nutrient is present.
The players nutrition will decay over time if any hunger was lost, albeit at a very slow rate of 0.075% per hunger lost.
Status Effects
When the players nutrients have been increased or decreased enough certain status effects will be applied to the player.
