What's your preferred method to keep topped up on hunger and thirst?

[BruceAllrighty]

Curious to hear what people do to make this mechanic as least annoying as possible.

I planted some stuff close to my camp to make soups (for thirst) and currently have the perk that helps hunger and HP when you eat a corpse. Seems about as easy as I can come up with, but I imagine there are more efficient ways to deal with it?

Eat anything and everything, Really.

I am super lazy when it comes to cooking and staying on top of hunger. I usually just eat anything in sight but I've recently been having a disease problem. So, to solve both problems I just bought the Vault Boy cookie jar to keep me fed.

There used to be a debuff for starvation and thirst, but they removed it for the Beth normies that came in after Wastelanders. There isnt a penalty for ignoring it.

There are perks that increase how much food and drink satisfies, and you can improve the buff for being satiated.
Plus food, drink, alcohol, and chems have their own 'buff slots' as well.

Most people are herbivores and build a farm at their camp. Turbofert grendade makes microfarm viable and preferred.
Carnivores have it a bit harder, but not really. theres a luck perk that gives you random meat every time you use a stim - combine with low health and Born Survivor you get automatic free meat. Add Good with Salt to make the food last longer, eventually invest in the fridge.

Purified Water, Birthday Cake and whatever the Mirelurk Steamer spits out at me.

I haven't had to cook food in ages.

I feel like you're the "Ooh, what does this do?" guy in most survival situations. Pick up random bottle of liquid? *sip* Pick up random herb or flower? *takes a bite* I'm putting you on my list of people I want with me when the apocalypse happens, so I have someone to find out for me what all the new stuff does before I ingest it.

I don't have the steamer, but I've got the Company Tea machine next to my birthday cake. The only other food I eat is if I grab some Brain Bombs and Cranberry Relish for XP boosting. Other than that it's cake and tea for me. Lovin' it.

Are these items from the Atoms Shop? Or can people get stuff like this in-game for caps?

The cake was a reward for challenges completed during the birthday promo and as far as I'm aware, no longer available. The steamer is uh.. hang on, let me check. *toddles away to google*

*returns shortly after* The steamer was an atomic shop purchase, cost 500 atoms. I don't know if it's still on the shop or not, you'd have to check.

Edited to add: Sometimes I list the cake slices and stuff from the steamer on my vendor for 1 cap each, just to get rid of them if I have a surplus. So it might be worth checking peoples' vendors while you're wandering about the Wasteland.

You can ignore it, having low Hunger or Thirst does not give you detriments so unless you want the optional bonuses they grant you then you lose nothing ignoring them.

To answer your question, I always go hunting for radstags and/or brahmin once a week since their cooked meat gives me additional carry weight in addition to filling up my Hunger. As for Thirst, I have five water purifiers at my base giving my endless supply; you can go with only one, I just have five since I also like to sell purified water for some quick caps.

"better" is subjective. if all you care about is not constantly hearing the growling tummy and drippy water sound, all food is created equal.

Ribeye Steak and Purified water. Sometimes beer, the many varieties and flavahs of Nuka cola, rad roaches, squirrel bits, canned dog food. lol...the rare occasional Death Claw steak. I eat everything. I cook it first though. Do not toss your spoiled veggies and meat, you can make fertilizer out of it which can further be made into unrefined gunpowder which can be further made into bullets or explosives.
