Food Value (spoilers, I guess)

[xolotl]

So once I make my way through Farrock Caverns, I tend to spend most of the rest of the game lugging around Meaty Spider Legs becaue they pack so much food value into one container. For characters who don't have a lot of strength, though, they can be pretty heavy, and I got to wondering how "good" they actually were, on a per-pound basis.

Long story short, it turns out that they're actually not very good at all. On a nutrition-per-pound basis, the ranking goes like this (from best to worst)

• Salted Fish
• Dried Meat
• Bread
• Biscuit Ration
• Apple
• Yambi Berries
• Steak
• Rat Meat
• Bittercup Seeds
• Meat Scraps
• Wild Potato
• Cabbage
• Meaty Spider Legs

That's right: dead last, at least in terms of nutrition-per-pound. Cabbage is more worth your while.

And since I was at it, I ran the numbers on nutrition-per-dollar as well, in case you're buying food. Again, from best to worst:

• Salted Fish
• Yambi Berries
• Wild Potato
• Bread
• Rat Meat
• Cabbage
• Apple
• Biscuit Ration
• Steak
• Bittercup Seeds
• Dried Meat
• Meaty Spider Legs
• Meat Scraps

Anyway, I guess there's a reason spider legs haven't found their way into more regional diets.

A major reason why I usually sell them. I've never had a food problem in the game, so I usually sell off the heavy/valuable stuff and stick with dried fish, apples, and rat meat most of the game.
