I would try it out. Does it not say if it's vitamin C with the rose hip?

This vitamin C is gonna be an interesting twist. I'm still trying to learn the maps and forging stuff lol.

I have 1 rose hip tea in my inventory, no notes about Vitamin-C. And I have some prepared rose hips to make the tea, also no info about Vitamin-C.

I'm wondering what the renewable Vit-C rich food is.

They surely didn't introduce scurvy without giving us something renewable that contains Vit-C.

There is a bug that older saves doesnt have Vitamin C visuals on the food, new games does. I dont know if its only a visual bug or completly break Vitamin C mechanic in older saves

From the update: NOTE: Scurvy is only enabled on new saves, to avoid the risk that players have already harvested most of the Vitamin-C rich foods in their game world.

Hmm interesting, so that sounds like there's no renewable source of Vit-C then. So in the end we'll all die of scurvy... ?

Or go beachcombing for tins of peaches lol

Eh I don't mind since i'm still trying to figure out a lot of things, which means I can go to the airport and die, then restart at the airport in a new save. Makes sense though if someone already used up a lot of their found food resources.

I hope not. That breaks long-term survival completely - I'd disable scurvy in every custom game I play if that's the case (or wait for a mod to fix that nonsense). I am hoping that there are renewable sources but it was left out as it might take some time for a player to be in a position to get those renewable sources if you are not ready for it. For example, some fish has Vitamin C but if you are not someone who fishes, it might take time to get cured guts, make hooks, get to a fishing spot etc. and if you ate all the non-renewable food already because you're in a late game save, then you're basically stuck rushing to try and prevent scurvy.

Does anyone know what food items have Vitamin C? Use spoiler tags if so. Thanks.

In interloper I imagine it's:
Rosehip tea (and rosehip pie)
Peaches (and peach pie)
Tomato soup
Carrots
Potatoes
Ketchup chips
Some or all of the stews?
Maybe burdock tea?
Maybe acorns?
Anything else...?

Google tells me that in real life birch bark contains no Vit-C :(

Fish and Birch Bark Tea gives Vitamin C

I didn't see that note, now I found it, in the video this was not mentioned. So I suppose Scurvy is like no existing in older saves. That is great, because I don't like to deal with this in an older save, now at day 188 and already looted some regions.
