Well fed buff

[Rumplypigskin]

I think currently the way things are it makes for basic cook food useful beyond low levels. I hope whatever thoughts you have don’t make cook stakes less important. I go through TONs off t1 and t2 foods while running around/ building or something different but is so easy to make and my settlement has enough coils that I never leave my town for shopping.

Yes this is something I’ve been thinking about for some time. We should be able to stack more than 1 food buff at a time as long as 1 of the food buffs is the well fed buff. In the same way we can stack 2 brews as long as Rage is 1 of them.

I made a suggestion about this a month ago. Some people didn’t like the idea as they feared double stacking would result in certain combinations being too OP when used with forging tools.

Allowing for consumption of multiple brews/food

Little did I realize that we cannot consume more than one brew/food recipe in order to get the added benefits of the 2nd recipe I’m suggesting that we should be allowed to consume a 2nd (or maybe a 3rd recipe) to get the effects of said recipe. Though, I can also see where this may be too overpowering. A super strength brew and a super fast brew (40% modifier to strength and action speed) can be overpowering in certain situations especially with the use of forged items. So I also su…

You can stack potions and foods and the results are insane… However well fed is not really OP so that could work.

A max forged, perfectly rolled piece of gear may not even benefit further from being able to quad-stack food buffs. You go from 1-shotting rocks with your hammer to also 1-shotting the sand and gravel too…? Ohh lawdy slow down

+1 food buffs not stacking is painful

Yeah that’s a very real concern. What I was suggesting is that they allow us to use 2 food consumables as long as 1 of them is a full food buff consumable like meat broth or meat pie. We can already do something similar with brews. You can take any 2 brews as combination as long as 1 of them is a rage brew.

I +1 this argument and would add the sound logic that eating more food should definitely make you well fed. Bottom line: There needs to be better supplemental foods. Lastly, an energy brew would find its niche amongst warrior class players who decided health regen epic was the better choice. Brews are harder to craft in large enough numbers to be supplemental, and work better preemptively and reactively.

Edit: The recent patch definitely made it easier to stay fed while keeping your desired buff, but I still think this suggestion is more than valid. It’s actually a bad design, because we are forced to continue using super basic foods to supplement our superior foods which makes no sense.

Instead of anti-hunger food being a buff, maybe there could just be food bar that prevents the stamina bar from going down until it depletes… and only certain foods can fill this bar.

But honestly, the recent patch fixes hunger with max energy.
