Food is a constant necessity for players in Eco. Lack of food will eventually halt the accumulation of [[Skill Points]] and prevent the player from doing any work that requires calories. However, players can not die from starvation.

Food is eaten by right-clicking on it. It does not need to be assigned to the toolbar. Food can be eaten from the toolbar, the inventory, or directly from a container. Right-clicking a stack of food will only consume one portion.

{{Main|Skill Points}}
A player's daily skill point gain is calculated based on the average nutrients of all foods in a player's stomach, along with housing quality. The average (weighted based on food calories) of each nutrient is added, then multiplied by a balance modifier (between x0.5 and x2). Foods that are completely lacking in one or more nutrients are considered to have a value of 0 in the missing nutrient(s).


Foods stay in the stomach for 24 hours after eating. After that time, they will cease to be part of the skill point gain calculation and history of eaten foods.

Every player has their own taste profile - they may love or hate any food item, even if it is unusual to eat (see [[Amanita Mushroom|Amanita]]). Depending on the average appreciation % of foods eaten within the past 24 hours, a player may gain or lose up to a 20% addition/removal to their food-related skill point multiplier. Additionally, the usual [[Bread]] icon may occasionally change into a loved food item, indicating a Craving of that item. Cravings do not create any debuff, but satisfying them grants a 10% bonus per craving. Only 1 Craving can exist at once, but 3 Cravings can be satisfied at once to provide a substantial 30% food bonus. These Cravings both satisfied and unmet disappear over time.

<big>Consumption of an item under the food category will provide the player with the following values:</big>
 
Each piece of food has multiple values associated with it:
 
=== Calories ===
=== Calories ===
When a food item is consumed, its caloric value is added to the player's calorie value (shown as a pie chart on the bottom left of the screen). These calories are needed to do any type of manual labor in ECO such as using [[tools]] or running.


Time will slowly convert the calories into skill points. Once the player's calories reach 0, the player's daily skill point gain will also drop to 0 and they will be unable to complete any work that requires calories.
When a food is consumed, its caloric value is added to the player's calorie value, shown in the bottom left of the screen. Calories are needed to do manual labor in ECO, and are required to use most [[tools]].
 
Time slowly converts calories into skill points. Once calories reach 0, the player's daily skill point gain drops to 0, and they can not do any work that requires calories.
 
If the calorie count of a food would raise that player's calories above the player's max, the player can not eat that food and will be given a "My stomach is full" message. Doing work to lower calories will eventually allow the player to eat the food.  By default, the calorie maximum is 3,000, but that can be increased by the skill [[Big Stomach]].


If the player's calories are above maximum, the player will be unable to eat any additional food and will be shown the "My stomach is full" message. The player will need to complete some manual labor in order to be able to eat additional food items. The calorie maximum defaults to 3,000, but that can be increased by investing in the skill [[Big Stomach]].
=== Nutrients ===
=== Nutrients ===
The four nutrients do not have any specific effects on the body individually, however the player can maximize their skill gain when maintaining a balanced diet. A balanced diet contains an even amount of the four categories below:
 
The four nutrients do not have any different effects on the body. They just need to be kept balanced to maximize skill gain.
 
==== Carbs ====
==== Carbs ====
Carbs (short for carbohydrates) are mainly found in starchy products like [[Bread]] and other baked goods. In early-game, [[Wheat]] should be used to produce items that are high in Carbs.

==== Protein ====
==== Protein ====
Protein is mainly found in meat-focused foods, but small amounts can also be found in [[Bean|Beans]] and other vegetarian items. [[Charred Meat]] is a good source of protein in early-game, but dominant in fat.
 
Protein is mainly found in meat, but there are small amounts of protein in [[Bean|Beans]] and some other food. [[Charred Meat]] and other animal products are good sources of protein.
 
==== Fat ====
==== Fat ====
Fat is found by cooking other ingredients in [[Tallow]] (a byproduct of cooking 3 [[Raw Meat]]) or [[Oil]] (a byproduct of milling 12 [[Cereal Germ]] or by cooking 18 Tallow over a stove). [[Camas]] [[Camas Bulb|Bulbs]] and its' recipes are noticeably fatty.  
 
Fat is most easily obtainable from meat. [[Tallow]], a byproduct of cooking meat, is pure fat.
 
==== Vitamins ====
==== Vitamins ====
Vitamins are found in foods rich in vegetables or fruits. [[Huckleberries]] are the best way to supplement vitamin intake early on.

The following crafting stations are used for crafting food:
The following crafting stations are used for crafting food:
* [[Campfire]] - The most basic of cooking stations, anyone can use it, but only skilled [[Campfire Cooking|Campfire Cooks]] can create dishes.
 
* [[Butchery Table]] - Used throughout the entire game, using Carcasses to create [[Raw Meat]] and leathers, as well as refining meat into primordial products such as [[Raw Roast|Raw Roasts]] and [[Raw Sausage|Raw Sausages]].
* [[Campfire]]
* [[Bakery Oven]] - An alternative to [[Cooking]], [[Baking]] involves baking produce to make acceptable meals, or meat and [[Milling]] products to create very nutritious meals such as [[Bread]], desired by all.
* [[Butchery Table]]
* [[Mill]] - Almost exclusively mills ingredients, all edible and a few useless, like [[Acorn Powder]].
* [[Bakery Oven]]
* [[Kitchen]] - [[Advanced Cooking]] allows the creation of the very best food items in the game, but often has unaffordable prices for its' recipes.
* [[Mill]]
* [[Cast Iron Stove]] - [[Cooking]], as a direct upgrade from simple meals at a [[Campfire]], yields a great variety of higher quality dishes.
* [[Kitchen]]
* [[Stove]] - [[Advanced Cooking]], used alongside the Kitchen.

Food-bearing plants are a food resource harvested from the world. Most can be harvesting simply by highlighting the plant and pressing {{key|E}}.
Food-bearing plants are a food resource harvested from the world. Most can be harvesting simply by highlighting the plant and pressing E.  


Currently, some are very plentiful, so [[Farming|growing]] plants such as [[Papaya|Papayas]] is not recommended as any player can simply harvest a few hundred within minutes.
The following plants require a certain tool to harvest:


Here are a few examples of plants that require a certain tool to harvest:
* [[Wheat]], Agave and [[Fireweed Shoots]] require a [[scythe]].
* [[Wheat]], Agave and [[Fireweed Shoots]] require a [[scythe]].
* [[Camas Bulb]] and [[Taro Root]] require a [[shovel]].
* [[Camas Bulb]] requires a [[shovel]] to harvest.
* [[Acorn]] is harvested from the debris of an [[Oak|Oak Tree]], which requires an [[Axe]] to chop down. It is only used in the cooking of [[Phad Thai]].
* [[Acorn]] is harvested from the debris of an [[Oak|Oak Tree]]  
 
The [[Clam]] and [[Urchin]] requires the player to harvest it then get it prepared at a [[Fishery]].
