Eating

For the mechanics surrounding the need to eat, see Saturation.

Eating is a pawn capacity: A character's ability to eat. Eating is a function of a human's or animal's health, affected by Consciousness, the jaw, tongue, and neck.

Eating and Manipulation are the two determining factors of the Eating Speed stat.

Eating is not affected by stomach efficiency or Digestion; these factors independently affect the ability to use Nutrition to satisfy Hunger. Legs and Movement can severely restrict a creature's ability to move to nearby Nutrition but are also independent from Eating. Sight does not affect Eating nor a creature's ability to find available nutrition.

At the time of writing, the maximum possible Eating capacity is 150% with a healthy pawn high on go-juice, luciferium and wake-up, and having used a neural supercharger to buff Consciousness.
