Hunger

[Spider]

Just noticed somebody posted incorrect ratios (or at least for when I played)

You gain 2 hunger for not eating, lose 1 hunger for eating.

Hence, you starve yourself one day, go to 2% hunger, and then eat 2 days in a row to get back to 0.

Repeat as necessary.

This rule is KEY when sailing. Difference between your ship having food for 20 years, or for 30.

Irony is right, from what I know...the only place I could think of you getting those number is from waaay back, whne there was just strength.

Just to throw a monkey wrench into things - I've found that you don't have to eat the *entire* portion either. This is probably due to round-off error. For example, eat just 120 potatoes instead of 125.

(a minor difference compared to outright starvation, I know).
