| − | '''Malnutrition''' | + | '''Malnutrition''' (or ''starvation'') is a health condition that occurs once any pawn hasn't eaten to the point that they starve. Unless forbidden to do so, a malnourished pawn will eat literally whatever they can get their hands on (whether it be a [[lavish meal]], some raw [[food]], or even a human corpse) in order to prevent themselves from further starving to [[Death|death]]. Once the pawn has eaten something, the malnutrition will gradually decrease, and until it is gone the pawn will have increased [[Saturation|hunger]]. |
| − | + | Malnutrition increases by 2% per hour, with initial symptoms including a faster hunger rate, slight loss of consciousness, and an increased chance of social fighting. Advanced symptoms include loss of consciousness, and eventually, death. Malnutrition will begin decrease by 2% per hour after the pawn is fed, during which time they continue to suffer from the different stages of the condition. | |
| + | |||
| + | Malnutrition will affect [[Consciousness]] which affects most actions a pawn can take, including [[trade]], [[movement speed]], and [[shooting accuracy]]. | ||

| − | + | Because malnutrition decreases Consciousness, it can be very dangerous to wounded prisoners, recent surgery patients, or others who may already have a Consciousness at 10% or lower and are unable to feed themselves. Dropping -5 or 10% more can kill just that quick. | |

Don't take on more prisoners or colonists than your food supplies can handle. Remember that intensive [[Animals#Taming|taming]] will demand a lot of food.
