sanity gain problems for only meat char's,,??

[FIRE&ASHES]

hi i wonder what is the best food to gain sanity,, for only meat based char's.
i now wigfrid gains it from slain enemy's but lets say for "mod.char's" that dont have this bonus,,most crockpot food that give's,,even with mods a nice sanity boost, is non meat based food,or food made with meat but turn's in to a food value thats not for meat based char's,they don't eat them,,they can't eat pumpking cooki,or candy as well

i have many hours in the game and can get past the sanity easy with gear or/and jerky but i wonder if some of you feel there should be a meat based food thats give's just that little more boost to sanity then the mere 5-15 sanity jerky or crockpot ??

mods,,steam-waiter give nice food type's i love them but stil no real sanity gain for the meat based foods :((

Only being able to eat meat is supposed to be a disadvantage

its a disadvantage in your first few days but once you have that crockpot built its nothing to be concerned about. Cause you can put 1 meat in with any 3 fillers and make meatballs allowing you to gain even more hunger satisfaction.

I do play with Wigfrid so yes I gain sanity from killing enemies but other sanity gains are easy to come by, picking flowers, wearing 'dapper' clothing like feather hat, top hat, tam o shanter, or my favourite is just keeping a Glommer with me at all times, healing him if necessary. He gives off a great sanity aura as does raising a smallbird and having pigman friends.

Or just make yourself some bedrolls or a tent. The sanity aspect of this game has to be my favourite aspect, its fascinating how much it affects your play, when the noises start in your headphones rattling from one side to the other and the actually very realistic nature of the initial shadows in the corner of your eye.

I can say from experience, the first part of the sanity loss at least is pretty close to reality although ive never been attacked by a terrorbeak IRL thankfully!!!

I love the characters that have a disadvantage. Woodie is a very tricky subject if you want to learn to battle sanity loss. Poor woodie, but it is fun when he turns werebeaver!!

You can sleep witch will regain a lot of sanity.
I know sleeping isn't an food witch was what you asked for, but isn't sleeping enough if you need a lot of sanity fast?

hi all tkz for al answers or tips,,now i now how to survive ;))
i have over 900 hours i think and i do like the chalenge,,, i even make less items in the world to have a hard start as resourches are few,i also know all sanity boost items,,,, but i love to cook
and wish there was that little 1 more item that a meat based char could make,not a big deal in my gameplay as i hunt for only 1 meat and its honeyham+jerky's , and sleeping,i find it a waste of time and takin the easy way out of trouble,,but thats all :))

ah i see, misunderstood the question i think! I have found that honey based recipes seem to help, honeyed ham and honey nuggets seem to have more sanity boost than the other recipes.

It is a shame when you cant make the cookies and toffee etc but there are so many ways to regain sanity - shame its not so easy in real life lol, they never seem to get fat from eating all that toffee!!!

just thought, you could use the show me food values mod ive seen on jardev, that tells you what sanity gain you will get from various foods and recipes, alongside smarter crockpot youre on to a winner.

Wow 900 hours, ive only had the game since april i think, i thought i was doing well at 350 lol. Ive bought some new games now though, shelter is looking pretty interesting i may well take a sabbatical from DS and go on that for a while!

Make and eat jerky. Large jerky gives more sanity than small.

you may need to look for sanity recovery by other means.

there's clothing, flower picking, sleeping, and you can also give a piece of meat to some pigs and stand around them for a while. 4 - 5 pigs should give quite a lot of sanity recovery if you're able to get them all bunched up with you (keep them with you during night and start a fire).
