how to get food easily

any good ways to get food besides farming? idk where to rlly find salt so im kind of stuck

Chopping up Anteverse II critters and frying it up is an easy way to get food. It will nuke you a little, but if you stay away from other source of radiation, that should slowly go away.

Proper soup is great, but you can live on some 'bad soup' just fine. If you get close to something viable, the game should tell you, so keep experimenting.

Be sure to carry a knife or two for chopping up critters and you'll have more than enough food.

I don’t know where you’re at so I won’t spoil directly but you’ll visit two places that periodically respawn resources and can find a decent bit of salt besides searching office file cabinets.

grow potatoes with medium flower pots and you will literally never run out of food

chop up alien with knife and cook em. you barely get rads from it as well before game begin saying u slightly rad urself

Flat hills grocery store always has canned peas and there's literally salt throughout that portal world... The nice addition of one MRE too.

It's okay to eat cooked alien meat, just know that your rad decreases slowly, so eating less filling meat will build up radiation a ton.

Drum sticks are the highest hunger filling for the minimal radiation increase so to speak.

Early-game, finding money in filing cabinets and desk drawers and then spending that on the vending machines is the real MVP.

Later on, after you cook some of the Immurement Subjects, you get access to Soups, which is an easy way to remove the radiation poisoning which would otherwise be associated with eating their meats.

Combine the right raw meats and you might even discover a very powerful soup recipe.

Failing that, salt and peas in a pot will earn you a cheap and easy soup that doubles as thirst recovery.

IMO other than latter soup recipes the endgame of renewable food will just end up being super tomatoes and baked potatoes

Pretty much, just get some soups. One bowl requires very little resources, but provides a good supply of food and water.

don`t listen to these idiots up top. The second the tutorial is over you can rush the kitchen on the second floor to the right and grab a bag of soil and tomato seeds. You can grow these bad boys and they will keep you alive. After that just ♥♥♥♥ yourself to get more soil craft materials and plant more tomatos (or a potato if you find one). Water can be gathered by boiling tainted water from the fountain in a pot. Wasting time, armor hp, weapon durability and all your bars on fighting is useless when you can literally just wait for the food to appear back at base by itself (just water it sometimes).
