What is the point of food?

[sno0ks]

Can I use it to craft something useful?

[titanopteryx]

Food can be used to craft more food. I took bread and cheese and made grilled cheese. The grilled cheese healed 5 health, which was less than eating both the bread and the cheese would have healed.

Heal?

[Steppenrazor]

heal and some give you buffs.

[BEEP!]

use it to craft better food and research better food some food does some crazy good things.

They should add extra stats for better cooked food...
Like instead of 5hp a item, it becomes 5% and O2 efficiency +10% for 30 seconds, stacks up to 5 minutes.

So you make better food and eat em to prep for fights by buffing yourself.

But yeah like other posts says, there are unlocks you need to research to get.

Carry weight is already a precious commodity and food barely heals anything so I'd need to carry a ♥♥♥♥-load of it.

i think food is more of an rp thing unless you run out of medpacks and need hp

Eating food heals normally between 2-5 health. Some are higher healing 15-20. Some have additional bonuses like temporary increased carry weight or reduced O2 consumption temporarily. That might be the reason for cooking, temporary buffs. And small healing.

Yeah in theory - but the healing effect of food is so small - it doesnt really make sense to even do it?

its "free" even if you don't pick up the stuff laying around.. you tend to get a lot of it from looting chests and stuff.. so why not use it? can sell what you dont eat.. or drop it if you need room.

The food mechanic is a Joke too weak food should theoretically give you at lease 15 health at the lowest.

Yeah so that you would be able to heal by stuffing you with pizzas,cheese and meat right in the middle of a fight and never touch you healing items again ^^

It's fine as it is, eating a carbonara never patched any bullet holes in a body...

And the main point of food isn't to heal with it it's the bonuses food offers.

To be fair we're only assuming that. Not that I want to test it.

Food seems to be almost useless. I was out of meds ate 10 food items and my hp stayed the same. I did not take the perk that affects food healing.
