Food items are the consumable objects that provide means of restoring . Aside from Food, the game also puts Water, Alcohol and Coffee under the same classification when placed in the The Bank Bank. Although only Water is indispensable for the daily survival of a Citizen Citizen, all these items are essential to the survival of every Town Town as they allow, among other things, increase the scavenging range of citizens and make expeditions possible.

Water

Everyone knows that proper hydration is vital for survival, and this is more valid in a World Beyond Desert. That's the reason why drinking from aWater Ration Water Ration (or from another source of water) is absolutely vital for every citizen to avoid dying of Dehydrated Dehydration.

Drinking water will restore to maximum (6 for a healthy person), give the Refreshed Refreshed effect, and remove the Thirsty Thirsty effect. However, if you are Dehydrated Dehydrated!, drinking water will change your status to Thirsty Thirsty and not restore any . The Refreshed Refreshed effect prevents you from restoring again from water, and stops you drinking for this purpose. If you become Thirsty Thirsty or Dehydrated Dehydrated! later on you may drink again to remove these effects.

Food

Judging by the decaying state of civilization, or what's left of it, the odds of finding good food are close to zero. You can still find the stinky, mouldy, rotten and barely inedible remains of what once was tasty food. You can't afford to be picky if it helps you to ignore the pangs of hunger for a while.

Eating food restores your to the maximum (6 for a healthy person) and gives the Fed Fed effect, which prevents you from eating again that day. Citizens cannot die from starvation even if they don't consume any food at all.

This has a truly bizarre taste, it's difficult to define. It does the job though: fills your stomach. On the other hand, it doesn't give you any extra energy...

Cannibalism!

Hunger is hunger, and food is food. This is a piece of meat that probably comes from one of your neighbors, but don't let it bother you. They won't come back to life anyway. Just focus your mind, try to think it's beef or chicken and swallow it. It'll make you feel better.

In addition to restoring your to your maximum and giving the Fed Fed effect like "normal" food, the consumption of these foods will also give you the Cannibalism Cannibalism distinction.

• Human Flesh Human Flesh - safe to eat. Is used in the temporary building Baited Trap.
• Meaty Bone Meaty Bone - 50% chance of getting you Infected Infected

Bad news, you maybe shouldn't have swallowed that... you have been infected !

Unprepared Food

Sometimes you just can't eat whatever's available. You have to process it somehow, either by opening its container or by making it edible somehow.

Unprepared food must have some action performed to make it edible. Once prepared, they will become regular food, refilling the max and giving the Fed Fed status when used.

• Can Can - must be opened with a Can Opener Can Opener, Screwdriver Screwdriver, or Hacksaw Hacksaw, or in the Workshop Workshop costing . Becomes an Open Can Open Can
• Dried Marshmallows Dried Marshmallows - needs cooking over a Torch Torch and becomes Burnt Marshmallows Burnt Marshmallows. Heroes can also cook this in a kitchen without a Torch Torch to make it edible.
• Suspicious looking plum juice Suspicious looking plum juice - can be eaten for no effect or cooked by a hero in a Kitchen Kitchen.

Containers

You happened to find the lunch of someone, either yours or one of your unlucky neighbors. What are you waiting for? There must be some tasty food in there!

Containers, as their name implies, hold a random food item and must be opened in some manner. Once opened, the container is gone and the food will be in your inventory.

• Doggy Bag Doggy Bag - can be opened without cost or tools to give 1 normal (6) food. Cannot be opened if you have a hand injury!
• Armageddon Lunch Box Armageddon Lunch Box - can be opened without cost or tools to give 1 premium (7) food. Cannot be opened if you have a hand injury!
• Food Parcel Food Parcel - requires tools to open and gives 1 item.

Alcohol

In every period of mankind's history, people have always found a way of intoxicating themselves. Obviously, the Post-Apocalyptic desert is no exception. You can swallow a whole bottle of homemade liquor to forget your tiredness. Your body, and especially your head, won't appreciate it much the next morning, though.

Alcohol does not count as food nor water, and therefore will not grant the Fed Fed or Refreshed Refreshed status. However, it will restore your to maximum and give you the status Drunk Drunk. The next day, just after The Attack The Attack you will receive the status Hangover Hungover. Both Drunk and Hungover prevent you from drinking further alcohol for the rest of the day.

Your head is spinning, you almost want to be sick, but at least it woke you up. Now you just need to run...

Coffee

Nothing lifts the spirit more than a good cup of coffee in the morning. This isn't your typical coffee, though. It looks bad and tastes worst, but at least it's hot enough to keep you up for another while.

Coffee may be drunk an unlimited number of times for no negative effect and each cup restores 4 toward your maximum. However brewing coffee requires a Cafetière Cafetière which is expensive to repair, and each cup (Which requires a Rotting Log Rotting Log, a flask of Pharmaceutical Products Pharmaceutical Products and a Battery Battery) is expensive to brew.
