Which Food Method Should I Use?
corroborated
Short answer
Match the food method to urgency: loot for immediate need, fish/hunt for repeatability, farm for a stable position.
Also: need food · best food method · where to get food
What to do
If starving now, take the fastest safe food. If near water with basic tools, consider fishing. If animals are nearby and you can safely kill/process them, hunt. If staying in one area, consider farming.
