Raising stats

[Subtle Shake]

It's damn near impossible to raise athleticism it seems. I have done it once, then it suddenly vanished. My friends I have been doing the same exact things, and one's strength raised to about 25, then suddenly started plummeting, while mine stayed at 20. The wiki page isn't helpful with this, anyone know how to raise them?

Strength: Eat lizard, rabbit and gneric meat only. If youre short in food, eat berries and mushrooms. Eat (and drink) before you see the x in your stomach. Dont eat when youre full except you need to gain weight.

Dont know about the necessary weight, I got 156 lbs at the moment and im at 35 strength.

Athletics: You simply have to run and dive without rebreather. Got athletics 7 at day 250 now. Im not running and diving pretty much ...

Avoid infection. To gain bones and skulls for example, make a small pile of cannibal corpse and light them up with a molotov.

Dont think too much in stats - enjoy the game ;)

The whole weight thing is completely stupid imo. You're eating meat straight off the land, no additives or fattening chemicals. Plus you're running around and lugging entire trees back to your base site.....pretty sure I wouldn't be a 400 lb fat bastard in this scenario, don't think anybody would
