Zeds have a good chance to carry good as well.
You use a lot more food when sprinting. Also when shivering (blues temps, shivering sounds from char). Avoid doing such things at spawn.
Have you killed a chicken? They are everywhere. You can craft the bones into fishing hooks with a knife. You can dig bait with a knife. 6x 6 rags craft a rope and a rope x long stick make a fishing rod. One bone fishing hook will give you a lot of food.
Killing one cow will feed you for days. Listen for animal sounds and follow the sound. If you can sneak upon them and kill them then your food problems are solved. Loads of meat and loads of bones for fishing.
There are also ways to trap food. Farm animals can be killed by melee if your patient enough.
Mushrooms grow in forests. Fruit trees are everywhere on Chenarus but not on Livonia nor Sakhal. Cooking mushrooms and fruits gives X3 the nutrition of raw.
On top of all this canned food can be looted in buildings and from Z's
In short there is more food than a player can ever eat or carry. You just don't know how to find it, which is a new player problem. there are more problems to overcome. I hope you survive.
Dont worry we've all been in your shoes the first time we played, just give it some time and eventually itll click
You can start a fire multiple ways:
find Matches or a Lighter, or use a Road Flare, or craft a Hand Drill with 1 bark and 1 short stick .. If outdoors and its windy, the hand drill matches or lighter may take several tries. This consumes 1 use of the lighter, 1 match, or the entire Hand Drill (each Hand Drill has one use).
Here is what i've learned from people/from my self.
Hunting > Scavenging.
How to make the most simple fire: Rags-stick, hold a stick in your hand(Not Long Stick) and with rags on floor Scroll to Craft Fireplace.
Rags are "kindling" so is dark bark and bandages, Fuel is Short stick, firewood. You can combine any kindling with fuel to make a fire.
How to lit fire- Matches which often drop from Zombies, or combine Stick with Dark Bark to make a fire drill(can sometimes fail to start fire)
How to get Sticks- Any bush will do- dont need tools, you often get Long Stick which you can break to make short stick.
How to get Dark Bark-Need a sharp tool to get it.
How to cook Food(easiest way)-Find an animal(chickens are easiest to hunt(they often spawn near any place that has houses around))-Quarter it using any sharp tool-wash hands in water pump(90% of places have it), or in a creek-Find a long stick-sharpen it using any sharp tool-combine chicken steak with stick-over a lit fire place when you hold your stick with meat on it you will see an option to Cook steak, just hold down the left mouse button till the steak is cooked(one cycle), take down meat from stick by opening inventory, and just dragging the meat from the stick to your inventory-wait 1 min for the steak to cooldown before eating.
Notes*
For sharp tools, check sheds, kitchens, outhouses even.
For chickens, you can hear them cluck, you can kill em with your fists.
For Dark Bark-With a sharp tool in your hand, go near any tree and get Dark Bark.
For Sticks-any bushes.
Fire wood-any trees.
Matches drop from zeds-even if badly damaged they can start fire.
Usually, the apples/other fruits are already on the ground. You can "check vicinity" to see the apples/etc more easily (or you can spot them on the ground with your eyes) and I've only seen those types of trees on the Chenaraus map.
Haven't come across fruit trees in other Maps (if they are there, I haven't seen them) chickens won't fill you up, just in case you think eating one will. You'd need to kill bigger animals = more meat/better food. Chickens only give you two pieces of meat, which you will eat up in a couple secs.
Fire, as mentioned, 1 Bark + 1 short stick = Fire Drill or use a Lighter/Match, if you find more lighters/matches, you can combine them to add up the count of uses. If you have a Lighter/Match or Flare, all you'd need is a piece of paper, rag, bark or so to start a fire with, as you add some wood after it starts (for outside or inside a house)
