Food Supply

The Food Supply DEV rating determines how hard it is to find something to eat in the Ark.

• 0–9: The struggle to find grub is desperate. The People only have a meagre stockpile of food left in the Ark, and whatever edible plants and animals individual mutants manage to grow or kill. One ration of grub is typically traded for one bullet.
• 10–19: Starvation still isn’t far away, but the People have enough grub to cover their day to day needs – as long as the harvest or the hunt isn’t threatened. Typically, you can get two rations of grub in return for one bullet. Decrease the Session Body Count (page 115) by one.
• 20–29: Almost everyone in the Ark can fill their stomach every day, and there is even enough to put some aside for hard times. A bullet will typically buy you three rations of grub. Decrease the Session Body Count by two (to a minimum of zero).
• 30+: No one in the Ark needs to go hungry. The People have the luxury to care about the taste of what they eat and drink, and they have refined their skills of cooking and brewing. A bullet will normally buy you four rations of grub. Decrease the Session Body Count by three (to a minimum of zero).
