Food, Nutrition & Housing

Progression is shaped by both food and housing. The useful question is not “what gives the most calories?” but “what improves the character’s total experience gain at a sustainable cost?”

Food principles

• Maintain variety across nutrient profiles.
• Compare nutrition, calories, shelf life and price together.
• Keep perishable food in appropriate storage.
• Buy from specialists instead of duplicating an entire cooking chain.

Housing principles

Rooms need to be valid, enclosed spaces using recognised building materials. Furnish different room categories rather than stacking one item type indefinitely, and check diminishing returns before buying expensive furniture.
