Eating pals

[KYLvie]

Noticed when pals are starting feelling hungry they will only eat a little bit, then they will go back to contiue the task and after 10 secs they going back to eat again , not goonna lie pretty annoying system.
it will be so much better once they are hungry they will eat it until they reach 100% then going back to task so they can do it longer, instead of going back to every few secs

Yeah, someone actually made a mod to fix this. Basically their threshold is 50% satiety, they eat just to get above that threshold by default.

Will be so nice to have that fixed, without mods one day !

I think they'll change this eventually, but for the time being, the answer is meals. Once you get to around 3/5 of the way through the level grind, you'll be able to plant lettuce and tomatoes. Throw down 1-2 of each and just craft salads for the feed box. They outproduce even a fully staffed base, as long as you're not letting the pals eat the lettuce or tomatoes from the feed box. Salads give I think 80 satiation from memory, so the time spent eating is a lot lower compared to just having berries in the box.

The other thing I tend to do is hunt mammorests. Their meat gives something like 200 satiation raw, and a fair bit more when cooked; I'll feed these to my base pals when I go collecting pal oil (which they drop around 8-10 of per kill) until I've got salad production up and running, at which point the steaks go to my party.

Honestly never had an issue with cooked berries. 2 berry plots and once a day just cook up a big batch. Enough for 15base pals and me and my party. Keeps them working hard without too much feeding time.
Jam filled buns is an upgrade when you add wheat to the mix.
I honestly just run with with my cooked berries everywhere still as they are so easy and simple and only now that i have Lettuce/tomato unlockede for salad(which gives good hunger/satiety and a work speed bonus)have i switched up for my ore base.

Open you server settings, increase the amount of spawn pals, kill as many Eikthyrdeers as you can, collect the meat and feed your pals with it. It should give them enough energy to keep working non stop for longer.

Or you can try to kill mamorests, this is the best option.

there is a benefit to this for some pals/jobs.

If you are running a high hunger pal (ex ignis jormuntide) that is constantly smelting for logn periods w/o break the constant eating can be beneficial as each eat will raise sanity which is better long term than eating less often (depending on your food ofc)

this here. if say they eat till 50% if you have a food that gives like 90 sat it can shoot them way up pass that 50% making them eat less. basically stop using berries when you can i suggest salads or pizza as you can grow/ranch all the stuff you need for them they have high sat and increase workspeed. also pizza says it keeps them fuller for longer in the description if i remember right so do what big companies do and throw them a pizza party. like all ya need is one tomato and wheat plantation and i think a cow in the ranch. maybe a chicken also? i dont remember all the ingredients but its not a hard thing to get infinite of. i been thinking of swappin to pizza also im at 9k salads in each of my 3 bases and i only have 2 lettuce and 2 tomato plantations in one base and i'll just move a stack to the other two bases now and then

also condense your ranch pals so they give more items
