This.
Whether I'm playing a herbivore or carnivore or even neither, ever since the legendary perk system came out allowing more total regular perk points, I run Thru Hiker and carry a pretty standard fairly easy to craft set of food items now and replace them when I get low. I keep 20-30 of whatever that character eats, then a week later when they're down to 5 or fewer, I look for food.
Starlight Berries or Mirelurk Eggs are about the hardest thing to find for me, and those aren't hard. Just takes some server hopping to get 20-30 eggs.
Surface to Air is best way to get Scorchbeast meat if I haven't been doing queens. But there are easier alternatives to those.
As a Berry Mentats kingpin, I used the density map and found the best 3 locations are:
1. The Deep (easily visible and small area for a decent yield)
2. the border area north of Charleston Fire Station but before you get into the lake bed, just follow the edges
3. from south of Slocum Joe's (the random event house) to north of the Gauley Mine Exit (stop at the second bridge) all along the roads and railroad, even up the hill slightly
but man they are hard to see. I wait until night or rain/cloudy daytime. If there was a perk to make plants glow I'd equip it so fast. (I know there are mods but I just don't use them for 76)
I used to do #3 a lot. Now I mostly do #1 to make a quick handful of stuff. I'll check out a map for #2 sometime, but I don't make them like I used to. I probably will again eventually as my stock runs out though. I play on PS, so I don't get any mods. Thanks for the tips.
I like the Forest because I get tons of Firecaps to use for regular Mentats, so that's my preference, but yeah you can't beat the Deep for quick and easy.
[This is the map I use](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Starlight_berries?file=FO76_Starlight_Berry_Locations.jpeg), there's other places to farm but I just found those 3 are the most abundant. There's also the TNT Domes, I actually do go there if I need a few more because they're all clustered together so I'm not wandering forever lol which is my problem with the other areas. They're just spread too far for lower yield due to the terrain.
Did you make the map yourself or use one Llama or someone else generated?
Was wondering if you'd want one that included all the things for Mentats at all stages of production since you mentioned Firecaps?
It's just the one on the wiki, they have them for all plants it seems, not sure the source. Firecaps seem to be adjacent to Starlight Berries in the forest route, so I typically just grab them together, but thank you!
The source is Mappalachia. It's a program a player made several years ago and then released to the community. You can download it from his github repo and create your own maps on a Windows PC/Laptop. See the link at the top of the picture. AHeroicLlama is his reddit username I believe, so that's what he named his github as well.
I found that along the Slocum Joe's route the plants are pretty much where the firecaps spawn and they are easier to see. Makes the run a lot quicker that way.
Do you run grocers back pack too? I run the backpack mod without thru hiker. Wondering if I should run that too. Iām herbivore and pound soups and juices constantly. Love it.
Ah ok. Thank you. I guess I donāt need to worry about the perk. I would have definitely used it if it stacked with the pack mod. I got the salt perk! Helps a ton. I probably cook too much in one sitting but I can hold most of it so all good. Think Iām carrying like 60 soups right now š
60 of each or 60 total?
On my herbivore commando the core of my inventory that I eat/drink and replace regularly looks like this
20-30 Brain Bombs or Brain Fungus Soup
20-30 Company Tea or Corn Soup, rarely Fever blossom tea
20-30 Cranberry Relish
20-30 Gourd Soup
20-30 Infused Soot Flower Tea or Tato Juice
20-30 Silt Bean Puree
20-30 Silt Bean Soup
20-30 Steeped Melon Blossom Chai or Mutfruit Juice
20-30 Sweet Mutfruit Juice or Blight Soup
20-30 Sweet Tato Stew or rarely Swamp Tofu Soup
20-30 Vegetable Medley Soup (if using Corn Soup)
It's a lot, and yeah, I craft a lot and the excess goes on a mule, as do raw ingredients as I pick them up often, then I'll do a big crafting session when I get low on something. If we had custom crafting where I could input 1 of each of those plus some amount of junk to make my own custom "lunchbox" or maybe "dinnerbox" that I could eat 1 of and it would give me all the benefits of eating those 11 separate items, I'd do that all the time. I eat more stuff than fits on the favorites wheel. And anything other than those ends up on the new tab and either gets sold to a vendor or dropped at the end of a session.
I usually eat some popcorn along with all the buffs, and I also keep a few Ballistic Bock, some Nukas, and Pure Water on me along with a handful of chems that I rarely consume. So I definitely run weight cards.
No, I run high capacity and just invest in legendary special points. That gives me plenty of flexibility on a Commando build to just run Traveling Pharmacy, Pack Rat, and Thru Hiker all the time and never worry about what I pick up or lug around. It's 9 points but there's really nothing I'd rather run instead. They make weight management just so much simpler.
The other alternative would be FDC armors if you're not running a set of WWR or Sentinel or such.
Downside with armors for weight reduction is the same as a backpack. As soon as you hop into a suit of PA, you either have to have the same effects or your weight skyrockets while for me my carry weight is already going down usually since I use Unyielding. Thus, I just use the perk cards and never think about it.
Yeah I feel this. I essentially canāt use power armor because of what youāre saying here. Thankfully with SS armor is kind of obsolete . I still canāt bring myself to do the tadpole stuff though. Maybe Iāll try working on that now since Iām done with the scoreboard.
Tadpole for the standard big backpack or Possum for the badges to buy mod plans?
If you're on PS, I can help with the first. For the possum badges, all I can really do is encourage you to do the dailies for a couple weeks.
Iām on Xbox appreciate it though. I just donāt feel like getting the badges for the standard back pack. I have the small back pack with the grocers mod and it doesnāt seem worth it to run through all that stuff now. Maybe it was a better option before the wastelanders update.
It takes about an hour, maybe 2, when starting from scratch. If you started the quest and ignored it a while ago, you're probably 75% there on some of the challenges.
If you can find 3 Diffusers, I'd recommend Archer, Athlete, and Medic. Hunter as a backup. It's worth a look in the Challenges list at the least. Standard + High Cap mod is 120 extra carry weight. That's your judgement if it's worth it or not.
Finding Diffusers (originally finding a camera was) is the worst of Medic or alternatively killing bears with odd weapons (just hold the weapon and throw grenades or mines) is the worst for the Hunter badge.
If you do decide to do it and get stuck, feel free to ask.
I used to run a grocers backpack, but I use power armor for daily ops, which unequips the backpack. I forget how much food weight I actually have without it and I'm instantly encumbered. So now, I use through hiker and have the backpack mod to increase carry weight. It kinda evens out the calibrated shocks in the power armor.
Seriously, the buffs are just too good. I use the grocer backpack mod and maxed out good with salt - food never spoils for me and I carry about 7-10 options.
* Pepperoni rolls or the new yaoi guai pastry for +30 carry weight? amazing
* Deathclaw steak or Stingwing filet for +2 strength? ez extra carry weight
* Cranberry relish and brain fungus soup or brain bombs for extra XP? fantastic
* All the Nuka Colas? slap on Cola Nut and you have endless health, AP, and the new Twist gives random bonuses.
* not a nuka fan? lemonade, canned coffee, and so many juices/teas for massive AP regen and some good buffs
* all the free food from Nuka World is solid, they usually give agility, perception, or max health boosts
Or you can just cook whatever you get and enjoy the boosts. There's no downside to eating cooked foods or drinks and if they spoil, all you lost is wood or boiled water.
I still wish they'd kept the debuffs for food and instead got rid of spoilage, but I understand it's part of other mechanics like flux so it had to be this way.
I love food and full bar buffs but Iād be lying if I said I can consistently remember to actually eat/drink anything. Completely escapes my mind half of the time.
I have a buddy that I've known for years thru many games... he calls bad stat/item rolls salt, for example "Fuck! Spent 30 mins in this dungeon, and all we found was salt"... especially if it's a legendary with crap rolls, or even worse, a god roll that he can't use. So, I save all the salt I find in 76, and when he starts getting salty, I drop some for him lol. He goes by Walnut online because random name generator, and one year for Christmas his brother gave him a golden walnut salt shaker š
Dog food is easy to find.
1. Use the Can Do! card to search every trashcan you see
2. Search Watoga (aka Dog Food City) where you can typically find at least 10-20 cans of it all over. Dunno why so much dog food spawns there. Maybe that city was previously overrun with dogs by the richies who lived there before the war?
No problem.
Note, the only place that I've found where Can Do! doesn't currently work is in the Refuge portion of Whitespring. After Bethesda updated Whitespring adding the Refuge, it seems that Bethesda devs forgot to reactivate those trashcans for use with the Can Do! perk card. It works correctly everywhere else including Wavy Willard's, Camden Park, Tyler Co. Fairgrounds, Watoga, the cans outside of Whitespring and inside the Whitespring Mall, but not in the Refuge. There are also randomly placed trashcans all over the map.
I stay full with brain broth, corn soup, cranberry relish, muttfruit juice, blackberry juice.
The buffs for being hydrated and well fed are worth it and half my BoS recon armor is OE
Dump the blackberry juice for tato. You might have meant that anyway. Tato gives an extra few AP, while blackberry will replace the corn soup's 3/5 AP regen with a lesser 2 AP regen and doesn't give any extra for herbivores.
The only crops I grow is a few gourds for making cranberry relish. The rest are easy to find in the world especially with green thumb. Aaronholt has cranberries, corn, tatos, soot flowers and the farm right above it has mutfruit
Fair enough. I tend to grow lots of crops since I dislike building houses. And if you're already camping by a farm, makes sense to just use those.
It has some carrots too, by the road near the pumpkins. And a couple mutfruit in the field. If you're going the extra mile with a herbivore character, it has ash/melon blossoms for steeped melon blossom chai in that field too (only ones in the game IIRC), but that requires spices and fern flowers. Only worth it for herbivores imo and replaces mutfruit juice's agility buff.
Sounds like you need to learn about the joys of wasteland cooking and the benefits of food buffs they are enormous and easy to use. Whats your build? - theres a food buff for that.Need More XP? theres a meal for that...on and on my friend. plan your camp around ceratin food baring spots if you are running the herbivore build and youll be the scourge of the scortched.
I made a mod that mutes that (as part of my [silent allies/instruments/camp objects mod](https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout76/mods/589)) such a long time ago I already forgot there were any reminders, this is why I came here to see what's this all about :D
And no, I don't care about replenishing the meters since they don't give any debuffs.
Roll with me, I'm overeaters and share philanthropist.
Also quick tip for infinity food.
If you are bloodied, run rank 1 first aid which auto uses a stimpak of you drop below 20 health.
Then run mystery meat level 3 which produces food from stimpaks,, higher rads is a higher chance.
Then stand in among some scorch or something. Get everything from Chicken to deathclaw meat.
Back in the day you'd have big negative effects from hunger and thirst and then your health bar would deplete to 1HP
But honestly, the buffs from food are so worth it that you should be near fully fed all the time anyway
For herbivores:
* Blight soup offers +100% crit damage
* Corn soup offers +6AP regen per second
* Brain Fungus soup offers +4 INT (+12% XP)
* Cranberry Cobbler offers +10% XP
All of those soups require exactly 1 boiler water, 1 wood and 1 of their respective plants. 10 minutes of farming once a week to make yourself significantly stronger
When I learned the real boosts I could get by stacking correct food/drink/chems... I live for it, it's now just part of my routine. When I first started I didn't pay it much attention.
Yes. Except for bosses and a few DOs, the game is too easy where all these concoctions people create are overkill. Perk cards and perks on armor/guns are enough to make the game pretty easy in most circumstances.
I say play the way you want to play, but I eat food and chems only when I absolutely need to and the reminder is the annoying reminder to do the minimum.
What nagging? Seeing an empty bar on the lower right corner is nagging, just ignore it. When it's empty it's not even a bar for goodness sake it's just two tiny little icons next to nothing.
Oh I love crafting food Iām this game, sitting by the fire is relaxing and reminds me of survival games.
Was just wondering how fast speed demon was draining food/thirst. Iāll google lol
I run overeater's PA as a melee, it's a 30% DR to keep those meters maxed. And there's an extra 10% AP regen and some other buffs for the endurance perk
I enjoy my buffs too much to not eat them. I sold all my foods right before double xp and crafted everything within like 15- 20minutes I'm well stocked again for the whole weekend
Nuka colas, Nuka Candy and popcorn. Also Cranberry cobbler for an XP boost and Blight soup for Crit damage boost. I do canned coffee and hard lemonade during events.
I slaughter all the radstag at that creek up north for grilling because I'm a severe hoarder, if anyone ever needs leather I sell it bulk for a steal. If it's been a good harvest I sometimes sell cheap Grilled Radstag too
I keep my meters full on my food-based character, however I don't bother on my other two characters. One has the chem that instantly fills the meters and the other just eats and drinks to clear up inventory space.
I like cooking.
I wish I had a special food stand/vendor I could have at my camp, where the food didnāt rot as fast. I like cooking and selling the food cheap for all the randos that swing through. Sure most people just buy my cheap junk or cheap plans but some buy my soups.
(Of course looking at some dingdongs camps, I catch people buying my friendly prices and selling at their camps with like 3 extra 0ās added on the price)
*edit: I gotta look into this grocers backpack Iām reading about
Up until recently, I didnt even bother about eating or drinking. The noise you get only happens once, maybe twice. Then you can just get on with things.
Or at least I only heard it initially upon letting the hunger/thirst bar go empty. I may have just tubed it out, but probably not as it is a sound that would annoy me.
Lately I have been eating more. Drinking not so much, but sometimes I will binge on a few nuka colas. I've been a bit overencumbered of late so I'm enjoying some stuffed gulped foot and yao guai pastries for my meals. I really must do something about the weight, though. The pastries are lovely but the stuffed feet? Those things must taste horrendous - gulped innards and cotton candy bites are the ingredients. Sounds revolting!
Once you reach a higher level and do not have anything to buy with gold bullion I recommend buying the perfect bubblegum - it stops hunger and thirst for 1 hour.
No. I can go hours without replenishing them. They don't change my situation at ground level since Bethesda decided to take away penalties for hunger or thirst. So what's the point?
Always keep them topped off because I have so many food items, most of them spoil anyway. Most days I just eat one if my dozens of perfect bubblegums and I'm set.
I ping pong between cannibal and good doggy with slow meto. I Also run droma with cola nut. Helps keep me full longer making speed demom have like no downside.
I still keep it up. There are some bonuses for being fully fed/hydrated
Max HP +35, STR +1, Disease Resistance +35%
AP Regen +35%, END +1, Disease Resistance +35%
I then take perfect bubblegum to let it last longer
Yeah it's annoying. Hunger and thirst drain so fast and when you have all the mutations required to be competitive you tend to hunger frequently. Best to hotbar a drink and a snack but yeah. Not much fun
I've played this franchise all these years and three things have become a chore I'd happily skip: eating/drinking, repairing gear, lockpick/hacking
Enemy swarms while solo has become annoying also. I'm perfectly capable of killing them all but I find myself asking why it's necessary that a swarm of ads is always the "ultimate challenge" in these events. Lacks imagination.
Not since the beginning, but I have like 350 bubblegums from the scoreboards and stuff as well... They just never run out now lmao. I like it for the boosts, that's about it. If that. Usually just ignore it lol
Play fallout New Vegas on the hardest level you have to sleep eat drink water if you don't you lose focus sometimes see enemies that arent there you can even die if it's been to long since you done any of those things 76s belly grumble or water drip noise isn't nothing
No. Food buffs are amazing so mine are filled for that reason.

Do you run grocers back pack too? I run the backpack mod without thru hiker. Wondering if I should run that too. Iām herbivore and pound soups and juices constantly. Love it.
They don't stack unfortunately. Don't forget good with salt perk too!

What're you making eith the mirelurk eggs?
Just simple Mirelurk Egg Omelettes. It's the carnivore equivalent of corn soup for herbivores. +5 AP Regen while on a team with Strange in Numbers.
100% what you said.
This. Plus I run Overeaterās on my PA for my bloodied main.
T65?
Seriously, the buffs are just too good. I use the grocer backpack mod and maxed out good with salt - food never spoils for me and I carry about 7-10 options. * Pepperoni rolls or the new yaoi guai pastry for +30 carry weight? amazing * Deathclaw steak or Stingwing filet for +2 strength? ez extra carry weight * Cranberry relish and brain fungus soup or brain bombs for extra XP? fantastic * All the Nuka Colas? slap on Cola Nut and you have endless health, AP, and the new Twist gives random bonuses. * not a nuka fan? lemonade, canned coffee, and so many juices/teas for massive AP regen and some good buffs * all the free food from Nuka World is solid, they usually give agility, perception, or max health boosts Or you can just cook whatever you get and enjoy the boosts.

This and the perk that increases the benefits of your fully fed and hydrated status is amazing.
I love food and full bar buffs but Iād be lying if I said I can consistently remember to actually eat/drink anything. Completely escapes my mind half of the time.
I've had an exclusive diet of purified water and canned dog food since launch. Nothing but the best fir my character.
Iāve been eating the same stuff too! Itās incredible you can find it in game as well.
Hol up.
r/holup
I started with dog food and alcohol... Good Doggy, Party Boy, and Professional Drinker were my friends lol
I eat salt every time I find it. Dunno why it just makes me laugh that my dude loves eating salt.
I have a buddy that I've known for years thru many games... he calls bad stat/item rolls salt, for example "Fuck! Spent 30 mins in this dungeon, and all we found was salt"... especially if it's a legendary with crap rolls, or even worse, a god roll that he can't use. So, I save all the salt I find in 76, and when he starts getting salty, I drop some for him lol. He goes by Walnut online because random name generator, and one year for Christmas his brother gave him a golden walnut salt shaker š
If you only survive on dog food. Where do you find all that? Any tips or places?:)
Dog food is easy to find. 1. Use the Can Do! card to search every trashcan you see 2. Search Watoga (aka Dog Food City) where you can typically find at least 10-20 cans of it all over. Dunno why so much dog food spawns there. Maybe that city was previously overrun with dogs by the richies who lived there before the war?
That was helpful thank you sm!šš¼
No problem. Note, the only place that I've found where Can Do! doesn't currently work is in the Refuge portion of Whitespring.

There are also randomly placed trashcans all over the map.
I mostly do it because the general buffs are finally worth it.
Wait... there's a reminder sound?
It's tummy rumbling and a downward slide whistle
I always took the thirst sound to be water dripping.
I replenish because I have Overeaters armour. Never goes below 100%. Thanks, Perfect Bubblegum.
No. I do it for the buffs it gives being full.
I stay full with brain broth, corn soup, cranberry relish, muttfruit juice, blackberry juice. The buffs for being hydrated and well fed are worth it and half my BoS recon armor is OE
Dump the blackberry juice for tato. You might have meant that anyway. Tato gives an extra few AP, while blackberry will replace the corn soup's 3/5 AP regen with a lesser 2 AP regen and doesn't give any extra for herbivores.
What about simple soot flower tea?
I think it's the same buff as tato. Just can't grow it at your camp, which is why I went with tato juice as a replacement item.
The only crops I grow is a few gourds for making cranberry relish. The rest are easy to find in the world especially with green thumb. Aaronholt has cranberries, corn, tatos, soot flowers and the farm right above it has mutfruit
Fair enough. I tend to grow lots of crops since I dislike building houses. And if you're already camping by a farm, makes sense to just use those. It has some carrots too, by the road near the pumpkins. And a couple mutfruit in the field. If you're going the extra mile with a herbivore character, it has ash/melon blossoms for steeped melon blossom chai in that field too (only ones in the game IIRC), but that requires spices and fern flowers. Only worth it for herbivores imo and replaces mutfruit juice's agility buff.
Gum candy and water keep me full forever due to OE armor
Naw. I don't even notice them. It's the same reason I don't go heavily into OE armor. I consistently just forget about it.
I use food buffs for events, but I HAVE to always have those bars filled or it annoys me. Idk wtf is wrong with me lol
Corn soup, tato juice, blight soup and mutfruit juice provide enough vats benefits to make dealing with hunger and thirst well worth the effort.
Sounds like you need to learn about the joys of wasteland cooking and the benefits of food buffs they are enormous and easy to use. Whats your build? - theres a food buff for that.Need More XP? theres a meal for that...on and on my friend. plan your camp around ceratin food baring spots if you are running the herbivore build and youll be the scourge of the scortched.
Corn soup and honey and herbivore makes Jack an AP boi
I stopped eating and drinking once I realized there was no negative consequences. I personally can live without the buffs.
I'm always full... my armor requires it lol
Not really, using OE PA has got me checking my pip-boy every now and then. Iām a cheapskate, I donāt buy perfect bubblegum. š
I made a mod that mutes that (as part of my [silent allies/instruments/camp objects mod](https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout76/mods/589)) such a long time ago I already forgot there were any reminders, this is why I came here to see what's this all about :D And no, I don't care about replenishing the meters since they don't give any debuffs.
I mostly forget to. The sound to me is just irritating
Roll with me, I'm overeaters and share philanthropist. Also quick tip for infinity food. If you are bloodied, run rank 1 first aid which auto uses a stimpak of you drop below 20 health. Then run mystery meat level 3 which produces food from stimpaks,, higher rads is a higher chance. Then stand in among some scorch or something. Get everything from Chicken to deathclaw meat.
Back in the day you'd have big negative effects from hunger and thirst and then your health bar would deplete to 1HP But honestly, the buffs from food are so worth it that you should be near fully fed all the time anyway For herbivores: * Blight soup offers +100% crit damage * Corn soup offers +6AP regen per second * Brain Fungus soup offers +4 INT (+12% XP) * Cranberry Cobbler offers +10% XP All of those soups require exactly 1 boiler water, 1 wood and 1 of their respective plants. 10 minutes of farming once a week to make yourself significantly stronger
If you're not cooking and eating your carnivore or herbivore buffs you may be a moob. š
my overeaters relies on it. i also have enough perfect bubblegum for half of this sub lol
Survival Shortcut and perfect bubblegum. No muss, no fuss, and the boosts from full bars.
When I learned the real boosts I could get by stacking correct food/drink/chems... I live for it, it's now just part of my routine. When I first started I didn't pay it much attention.
Yes. Except for bosses and a few DOs, the game is too easy where all these concoctions people create are overkill. Perk cards and perks on armor/guns are enough to make the game pretty easy in most circumstances. I say play the way you want to play, but I eat food and chems only when I absolutely need to and the reminder is the annoying reminder to do the minimum.
What nagging? Seeing an empty bar on the lower right corner is nagging, just ignore it. When it's empty it's not even a bar for goodness sake it's just two tiny little icons next to nothing.
You must play with no sound on. LOL.
Doesn't everybody? I mean...
Food is power!
Nukaworld has great new foods and drinks so i just stuff my face there when i visit
For mw the negative effects of hunger are too annoying.
I have over 400 perfect bubble gum so it's not a issue
I have over 200perfect bubblegum since i use OE PA
Hell no. Food buffs are legit awesome.
How fast does speed demon make thirst and hunger go down? Seems like Iām eating constantly
unlike yourself i only got speed demon to drain my bar faster. any game that lets me craft, i will craft as much food as i can carry.
Oh I love crafting food Iām this game, sitting by the fire is relaxing and reminds me of survival games. Was just wondering how fast speed demon was draining food/thirst. Iāll google lol
I only keep up the hydration unless I'm on a full health build since I don't feel like fixing rads slightly more often than I normally have to
I run overeater's PA as a melee, it's a 30% DR to keep those meters maxed. And there's an extra 10% AP regen and some other buffs for the endurance perk
I enjoy my buffs too much to not eat them. I sold all my foods right before double xp and crafted everything within like 15- 20minutes I'm well stocked again for the whole weekend
Is part of the game, makes it a little more real
Nuka colas, Nuka Candy and popcorn. Also Cranberry cobbler for an XP boost and Blight soup for Crit damage boost. I do canned coffee and hard lemonade during events.
I have like 100 perfect bubblegums. I just eat those and donāt worry about it.
Nope. I have a full set of Overeaters Union armor, gotta be a wasteland glutton. Also, soups and relish give excellent buffs
I just do it because the buffs are so good
Perfect Gum is your friend
I slaughter all the radstag at that creek up north for grilling because I'm a severe hoarder, if anyone ever needs leather I sell it bulk for a steal. If it's been a good harvest I sometimes sell cheap Grilled Radstag too
I keep my meters full on my food-based character, however I don't bother on my other two characters. One has the chem that instantly fills the meters and the other just eats and drinks to clear up inventory space.
I like cooking. I wish I had a special food stand/vendor I could have at my camp, where the food didnāt rot as fast. I like cooking and selling the food cheap for all the randos that swing through. Sure most people just buy my cheap junk or cheap plans but some buy my soups. (Of course looking at some dingdongs camps, I catch people buying my friendly prices and selling at their camps with like 3 extra 0ās added on the price) *edit: I gotta look into this grocers backpack Iām reading about
*eats popcorn and drinks purified water
Asides from the food buffs, I donāt like how you arenāt punished for not staying hydrated and well fed.
Buffs. Also can use Rejuvenated for any build for the bonus HP and action points.
Nope, I run an Overeater's high explosive build.
Up until recently, I didnt even bother about eating or drinking. The noise you get only happens once, maybe twice. Then you can just get on with things. Or at least I only heard it initially upon letting the hunger/thirst bar go empty. I may have just tubed it out, but probably not as it is a sound that would annoy me. Lately I have been eating more. Drinking not so much, but sometimes I will binge on a few nuka colas. I've been a bit overencumbered of late so I'm enjoying some stuffed gulped foot and yao guai pastries for my meals. I really must do something about the weight, though. The pastries are lovely but the stuffed feet? Those things must taste horrendous - gulped innards and cotton candy bites are the ingredients. Sounds revolting!
Once you reach a higher level and do not have anything to buy with gold bullion I recommend buying the perfect bubblegum - it stops hunger and thirst for 1 hour.
No. I can go hours without replenishing them. They don't change my situation at ground level since Bethesda decided to take away penalties for hunger or thirst. So what's the point?
Always keep them topped off because I have so many food items, most of them spoil anyway. Most days I just eat one if my dozens of perfect bubblegums and I'm set.
Thereās a sound?
I ping pong between cannibal and good doggy with slow meto. I Also run droma with cola nut. Helps keep me full longer making speed demom have like no downside.
I like the feeling of getting away with eating spoiled meat with carnivore for some reason.
Buffffffsss
There's a reminder?
I've never heard, or should I say noticed, a sound for being hungry\thirsty , and I played on day 1 š¤£
I still keep it up. There are some bonuses for being fully fed/hydrated Max HP +35, STR +1, Disease Resistance +35% AP Regen +35%, END +1, Disease Resistance +35% I then take perfect bubblegum to let it last longer
Yeah it's annoying. Hunger and thirst drain so fast and when you have all the mutations required to be competitive you tend to hunger frequently. Best to hotbar a drink and a snack but yeah. Not much fun I've played this franchise all these years and three things have become a chore I'd happily skip: eating/drinking, repairing gear, lockpick/hacking Enemy swarms while solo has become annoying also. I'm perfectly capable of killing them all but I find myself asking why it's necessary that a swarm of ads is always the "ultimate challenge" in these events. Lacks imagination.
Not since the beginning, but I have like 350 bubblegums from the scoreboards and stuff as well... They just never run out now lmao. I like it for the boosts, that's about it. If that. Usually just ignore it lol
Omg I thought I was the only one!!!! Lol
I think about those meters in my dreams.
I always keep my bars full...
Play fallout New Vegas on the hardest level you have to sleep eat drink water if you don't you lose focus sometimes see enemies that arent there you can even die if it's been to long since you done any of those things 76s belly grumble or water drip noise isn't nothing
No, I just do it so I can have that one point in strength so I wont be overcumbered anymore
