Food dictates your survival in 7 Days to Die. Without it you die, with too little of it, life can be tedious and slow but with a lot of it, many new options and styles of play are available to the character.

== Early Game ==
+
== Early Game Tips ==
  +
*Canned food and bottled water (found as loot or purchased from traders) are essential for early survival.
*In the early game, you will want to mainly use the canned food and bottled water ('''that you can find''') to survive.
 
  +
*All other food even cooked has a 4% chance of [[Food Poisoning]]. [[Vitamins]] can negate that chance for 12 minutes.
*The [[Empty Can]]s you get can be scrapped into [[Scrap Iron]] or used to get and boil water.
 
*Keep your empty jars and fill them up when you find water. Make sure to boil the water at a campfire before consuming it.
+
*Save [[Glass Jar|Glass Jars]] and fill them at bodies of water.
  +
*[[Campfire]] and a [[Cooking Pot]] are needed to boil [[Bottled Murky Water]].
*You will find yourself needing a campfire for warmth no matter what, as bottles of murky water can be purified later and you can purify cans of murky water without a [[Cooking Pot]].
 
*The harvesting system in place now (Alpha 13.6) allows you to harvest animals for meat. You need either a [[Bone Shiv]], [[Machete]], or a [[Hunting Knife]] to harvest an animal. Axes also work, but not as well.
+
*Hunt and harvest animals for meat. Obtain a [[Bone Shiv|Bone Knife]], [[Machete]], or a [[Hunting Knife]] to harvest maximum loot ([[Axe|axes]] yield less).
  +
*Its recommended you do not eat [[Moldy Bread]], [[Old Sham Sandwich]], or [[Rotting Flesh]] as it has a very high chance of [[Food Poisoning]] and rather save them for future crafting recipes.
*Collect seeds while looting as they are very important to establishing a farm.
 
  +
*Save looted [[seeds]] to easily establish a [[Farming|farm]] later on.
==Mid to Late Game==
 
  +
*Spend skill points on [[Living Off The Land (Perk)|Living off the Land]], [[Master Chef (Perk)|Master Chef]], and other related [[perks]] for unlocked recipes and farming abilities.
*As you start to establish yourself you can stop worrying about the canned food and save it for when you desperately need food.
 
  +
*Start a garden near your base or at a spot that's convenient for you and plant seeds on tilled dirt and wait for your plants to grow.
 
  +
==Mid to Late Game Tips==
*When you use water for boiling/cooking, it uses the jar as well so you will need to craft or find jars every now and then.
 
  +
*Some [[Canned Food]] can be used in cooking recipes but most cannot. [[Canned Food]]s offer 0% [[Food Poisoning]] so consume them before raw foods.
  +
*Establish a garden near bases to [[Farming|farm]] many vegetables and other plants needed for cooking recipes.
  +
*Crops need sunlight to grow. Placing [[Farm Plot]]s indoors will not allow them to grow.
  +
*Advanced recipes give the most amount of food too so favor them over basic foods.

Early Game Tips[ | ]

Mid to Late Game Tips[ | ]

  • Some Canned Food can be used in cooking recipes but most cannot. Canned Foods offer 0% Food Poisoning so consume them before raw foods.
  • Establish a garden near bases to farm many vegetables and other plants needed for cooking recipes.
  • Crops need sunlight to grow. Placing Farm Plots indoors will not allow them to grow.
  • Advanced recipes give the most amount of food too so favor them over basic foods.


Notes[ | ]

  • You are unable to drink any more if your Water Fullness is at the maximum.
  • You are unable to eat any more if your Food Fullness is at the maximum.

Eating/drinking more is now possible. Doing so will keep your food/water level full for longer.
