Common misconceptions and question:
Q: I have to drink every 5 seconds, WTF?! Recap: You start at 1800/4000 water. Thirsty messages appear at below 2000 water. A can of soda restores 330 water.
Conclusions: Drinking a can of soda shortly after geting thirsty message takes you barely above the limit of 2000/4000 and you will drop below it soon after. An extra capacity of 2000 water when thirsty means you can drink about 6 cans of soda (6*330=1980) or two full canteens wihtout your bladder exploding. Use water pumps frequently to easily fill up your water storage.
Q: I don't have enough inventory space to carry all the food and drinks that I need! Recap: A can of beans takes up 1 inventory slot and contains 462 energy. You are considered hungry at 600 energy. Your body can store 20,000 energy (in muscles, fatty tissue).
Conclusions: You internal energy inventory is enor,ous. You can store the equivalent of more than 43 cans of beans in your love handles. You don't need to carry food in your inventory (unless you want to give it to somebody else). Eat everything you find right away, no point in staying close to hungry.
Q: My vision is gray but I'm not regenerating even though I'm not hungry or thirsty? Recap: Hungry messages appear below 600 energy. Slow regeneration requires 3500 energy. Getting from "Barely not hungry" to "sufficiently fed" takes 2900 energy. The equivalent of more than 6 cans of beans + compensation for activity! Full regeneration requires 5000 energy. Getting from "barely not hungry" to "well fed" takes 4400 energy. The equivelant of more than a whole pack of rice + compensation for activity!
Q: "I feel well fed" and "my stomach is growling" at the same time?! Recap: "I feel well fed" is a message related tot he fullness of your stomach. "My stomach is growling" is a message related to your energy level.
Conclusions: Your stomach is filled with very low energy content, most likely water. You haven't eaten enough revently. Wait for your stomach to digest the water and eat.
