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 Body Part 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.
