− | + | # '''Maximum nutrition''', or how much nutrition a pawn can store at any one time. Adult [[human]]s can hold 1.0 nutrition. For them, 1.0 nutrition is 100% saturation. This property is almost entirely controlled by [[body size]], via function <code> 1.0 * body_size</code>.<br>Human teenagers (ages 13 - 17) are a special exception; they are smaller than adults, but have a special multiplier to max nutrition so that they are equal to adults. | |
− | + | # '''Hunger Rate''', or how much nutrition a pawn loses per day. Adult baseline humans hunger at a rate of 1.6 nutrition per day. This is determined by species and the [[Hunger Rate Factor]] explaines below. | |

In general, humans hunger more than similar animals. An [[alpaca]] has the same [[body size]] as a human, but only hungers at a rate of 0.44 nutrition per day. A [[megasloth]] is four times larger than a human, but hungers at the same rate. Generally, predators hunger slowly - a [[cougar]] eats less than half as much as a [[husky]], for instance. | In general, humans hunger more than similar animals.

When malnourished, pawns gain severity in "[[malnutrition]]". Malnutrition is an [[ailment]], with an entirely separate progression to hunger or saturation. When malnourished, ''malnutrition'' severity rises by 2% every hour, and once it reaches 100%, the pawn will die. When a pawn is fed, their malnutrition does not immediately go away, though a pawn will no longer gain malnutrition (as Saturation is no longer at 0%). | When malnourished, pawns gain severity in "[[malnutrition]]".

Cooking food effectively "creates" nutrition. A [[simple meal]] is worth 0.9 nutrition, but only costs 0.5 nutrition of food to make.

For example, a female [[cow]] produces {{Icon Small|milk}} {{Q|Cow|Daily Milk Average}} per day, or {{#vardefineecho:milk_nutr_per_day|{{#expr:{{Q|Cow|Daily Milk Average}}*0.05}}}} [[nutrition]] in milk per day. A cow consumes {{Q|Cow|Real Hunger Rate}} nutrition per day. While cows cannot consume milk, almost all animals can consume meals, no matter what the meal is made out of. So when a cow's milk is turned into [[nutrient paste meal]]s or even [[simple meal]]s, it can feed itself with plenty of food to spare. This gets even sillier with [[chicken]]s, which produce more nutrition in [[egg]]s than it consumes per day, even before the eggs are cooked. (Note that chickens cannot eat their own eggs, and that they are very prone to overeating.) |
