An essential part to surviving in the wastes is what you choose to eat.
Obviously, different food grades will come at different prices but one must keep in mind that healthier food constitutes to a healthier person. Thus sickness would be less likely to encounter when travelling with a belly full of nourishing foods.
OOC Footnote: One must write the Food grade he's eating in the equipment section of his CS. The base cost of the food will be deducted from your account by us staffers on a monthly basis.
Food may also be obtainable for free through adventures, in that case it should be noted down in the Possessions section of the CS as:
[Food grade] (Obtained through )
Price: 0 Uriles/Month's supply of food
Description: This food is obtained through foraging through the wild. It's not healthy and people eating this type of food are somewhat prone to fall victims to diseases. But hey, it's free.
It consists of-
*Dirty Water: Collected from a water source, without being purified. May contain heavy metals such as lead or traces of radiation.
*Fruits/Berries from Mutated plants: Plentiful in the wastes, however some tend to contain toxins or be generally unpleasant to eat.
*Sea Cucumbers: Spiny and very tough and elastic to chew on. However it's the only source of protein in this food grade thus it's essential. Sea Cucumbers are actually Marine Polychaete worms which have been exposed to radiation. They are fished for in several port towns. (Click here for more info)
NOTE: Tribals are immune to disease from low-grade food; they're just used to it.
Price: 10 Uriles/Month's supply of food
Description: This food is obtainable through buying from ordinary traders and hunters. It gives an all around diet that should keep the average waste-lander going and which sufficiently keeps one well nourished and healthy.
It consists of-
*Decently purified water: Water that has been processed through a food purifier. Tastes metallic and earthy but the heavy metals have been filtered out and the radiation nullified.
*Rough stringy meat: It's not the best of all meats and it probably came from something with six eyes, two heads and eight legs. But who's complaining? At least it's not slimy!
*Pasta: A relatively tasteless and pleasant carbohydrate source. It's often mixed with other foods to enhance it's flavor or dull the taste of those foods.
*Plant sap: A sticky substance saturated with sucrose. Added to various foods as a flavor enhancer and a sweetener.
Mystery Kebabs: You never know what to expect with these. Every bite can either have you vomiting or smiling at the pleasant taste. They're made up from different scraps of meat, plant components and organic matter found in the wastes. Totally unidentifiable when roasted. (No, you can't buy they're not sold raw.)
Price: 35 Uriles/Month's supply of food
