[Spoiler] How do you track how many 'meat' you ate ?

[Haperski]

Braved myself to finally fight one of those big daddies and figured out my party of 2 is strong enough to take them on. But it takes such a long time that I started just spamming F and accidentally killed the little girl that spawned.

So I did what normal humans would do : Put down my tent, harvest three mushrooms that I planted in it, and then cook the meat to a stewed veggies and ate it.

The log says 'You Evolved' and something about my MAG, but I don't see anything new in my character sheet. I read that non chaos shape will have their stats increased up to 50, but how do I know how many I have eaten ?

Make a memo to record the number, or you just track the extra stat potential value.

The special effect of eating Little One meat isn't a direct increase to any stats, it increases your stat "Potential", which will make that stat grow faster.

I think stat potential is 80 by default, so hover over your stats and see what it says your base potential is.

It is.

Ahh, the MAG increase probably due to one of the mushroom that I cooked with it.

So the potency increase will be permanent then ? Maybe shown as 'base potential 81' or something along the lines and not wane over like potential from training and food ?

Though if it really is just +1 or at max +50 increase, I don't think its that useful to lose sleep over. Even if its permanent. I have about 300-500 potential just from eating good while casually building my bases.

Your base potential should have risen by 5 across all 8 stats for the first meal, if I remember the mechanics of eating [ADAM] flesh. Basically, stop once your base potential reaches 130 (assuming you haven't gotten extra base potential via the feats). But someone correct me if I got that wrong.

EDIT: And yeah, the change is to your base, not the additional potential granted by eating foods marked with [STAT] potency. That's separate. Also, while you're right that the bonus isn't necessarily that much when measured against the hundreds of additional (temporary) potential gotten by eating good foods, a 62.5% increase from your baseline growth potential at maximum ADAM isn't exactly chump change, either. It adds up.

Woah, you're right, my base potential is now 85 across all attributes !
Even my CHA is now 115 from being a Yerles/Pianist.

Considering the wiki says the maximum number of meat I can eat is 50, and as base potential cant grow over 130, do you reckon the next meat I eat will be 20% less effective and only give 4 potential and then the next is 3,2, then the next is 2,56 and so on ?

From my experience, it's +5, +5, +4, +3, +2, then +1 from each meat until you reach 130 base potential

Though if it really is just +1 or at max +50 increase, I don't think its that useful to lose sleep over. Even if its permanent. I have about 300-500 potential just from eating good while casually building my bases.

True, although it add with your temporary potential regardless. It's also way more usefull for a chaos shape, as the first 10 meats also increase life and speed in order to compensate the maluses for the first 10 additional body parts
