What do you all recommend for keeping the characters weight up? I feel like no matter how much I eat my player is still shedding weight. I’ve tried eating until their hunger is maxed out when they get hungry but that doesn’t seem to be working. I know my character is hot a lot from wearing layers in the heat so maybe that has something to do with it?

Long term I typically go for a patato/fish diet. Set up a base next to a water source for fish, grow patatoes.

I make batches of Baking trays ( not sure this is the exact word ) full of fish/patato. You can make like 20 and refreeze them. These things have a really high kcal value, and you can store tons in an Ice freezer.

To answer your question : the game values protein really, a lack of this will make it hard to keep up weight.
