Manage Nutrition and Avoid Malnutrition Penalties

What Malnutrition Does

If you don't eat fruits and vegetables regularly, you enter a malnutrition state. This causes faster hunger loss and dramatically slows your natural health regeneration—making survival much harder.

Eat the Right Foods

1. Prioritize fruits and vegetables: apples, carrots, potatoes, onions, and other crops

2. Onions are unique to this mod—find them in loot chests and farm them in open sky

3. Meat alone is not enough to prevent malnutrition; you must balance your diet

4. Eat regularly to keep hunger high and avoid the malnutrition debuff

Farm Efficiently

Crop growth is boosted during Yellow Moons and Blue Moons, so plan your farming around moon phases. Onions require open sky access to grow, so plant them in exposed fields, not under roofs.

Early game: forage for apples and hunt animals for meat. Mid game: establish a farm with mixed crops. Always keep a stockpile of vegetables in your base. Health regenerates slowly naturally, but malnutrition nearly stops it—maintaining good nutrition is critical for long-term survival.
