Diet

Eating the same food over and over stops working. Variety is survival.

Short term

If you eat the same food within your last 5 meals, its hunger recovery drops each time: 100% the first time, then 90%, 75%, 50%, and just 5% by the fifth. Spamming bread does not work here.

Long term

Every time you eat a specific food, its recovery permanently drops by 1%, tracked over a history of 100 meals. The more your nation lives off one crop, the weaker that crop gets for you.

What to do about it

Farm and cook variety. This is why the pack ships a full cooking suite. The mod also adds a basket that can carry multiple food items for expeditions.
