As someone who's been playing on android (means no stat editing for me)I can't get over food. I always seem to be on the verge of starving. I don't even play Orcblood, and I frequently end up with scenes I don't want (like passing out and losing anal virginity to some unknown beast) because I run out of food. Specifically, this becomes a problem for me in the mossy expanse, where there really aren't any towns, and finding food comes down to the luck of your cache and "humanoid" trader node spawns...
Even with a Hunger Charm, how do you either gain a lot of food, or slow food loss to a crawl?
I found food problem best solved with cheat option. Even in Ironman.
How? You enable the cheat until you are about to enter a scene which results in progress or unlocking a achievement, go to menu, disable the cheat and play the scene. The game only cares what your cheat status is the moment you trigger that scene (dont let Maj find out or he'll fix it!)
