Definitely lower the consumption rate of water and food. It gets really ridiculous having to eat it r drink every five minutes or less. Especially when you’re trying to out run something trying to eat you

it sure needs a rebalance..

We have these Biomods available… a slow metabolism Biomod would work perfectly here.
I think it opens food and drink to have a clever system. The biomod solution is a great idea. As well as efficiency in fabrication if there was an upgrade there (i.e. fabricator makes low GI foods, sustaining you for longer, if it’s upgraded)
