Food is a necessity in survival games, and The Survivalists is no exception. The game begins with the player on a beach with no tools and limited supplies. Hunger can be satisfied in the early stages with berries and coconuts. More options for filling with other perks become available as the player progresses through the game.
Finding food is a challenge at the very beginning. Raft berries only last a very long time. Hunger decreases rapidly. You may lose all your items if you are not lucky enough to succumb to starvation while foraging for food.
There are several types of food in Survivalists: berries, coconuts, fruits, fish, meat, and animal parts. Berries, coconuts, and fruit are a little hunger pangs. Meat is more difficult to find and must be cooked over a fire.
berries
Berries are easy to find. The raft on the beach has a handful of berries to get you started. There are also berry bushes on the same grassy part of the beach. Berries are found on berry bushes. These bushes are easily identified by the purple berries on them instead of flowers. Berries are sometimes found on the forest floor. You get a decent amount of berries per bush, but they don't offer much in terms of hunger.
The berries can be combined with coconuts or petals to make smoothies or campfire monkey food. Smoothies will satisfy your hunger and health more than berries and are easy to prepare.
Coconut
Coconuts are easier to find than berries but are less abundant. The palm trees on the beach sometimes have coconuts. Those with visible coconuts will fall off several when cut. Like berries, they don't satisfy hunger much, but will help in a pinch.
Coconuts are also used in making smoothies and other meals to help restore hunger and health.
Fish
Fish meat is difficult to obtain. It may take a long time for you to get fish if you are just relying on the plans. Fish can be hunted with a spear, which can be found on fallen enemies, purchased from the Mysterious Shop, found in Skeletons, or crafted. If you are lucky enough to find a spear, you can hunt the fish right away. If you're not lucky enough, you'll need to craft it, which requires metal. The metal is found in volcanic regions and is dangerous to obtain.
Fruit
Fruit is a rarer food that can be purchased from the Mystery Shop. Enemies can drop fruit when defeated. We found them in Orcling's hideouts and barrels, and in the Mystery Shop for a small amount of money. Fruits can be found on trees in Swamp Biomes. Chop down the trees to pick the fruit as it is in the swamp biome that requires an elixir to last, it is not worth pursuing it early in the game.
Fruits are also used to make other foods, but are better at satisfying hunger than berries and coconuts.
Meat and animal parts
Meat is a more difficult substance to obtain. You have to either repel an aggressive animal or trap small animals to get meat. There are leftover meat and hearty pieces of meat. Small animals leave scraps, larger animals leave scraps and pieces, dangerous predators can drop the steak. All three types must be cooked over a campfire or pot before they can be eaten. Alone, the leftovers and the pieces make skewers that fill a good deal of hunger and health. Pieces of meat can be combined in other recipes for added health or stamina. Steaks offer the best stat boost.
You will need the help of a monkey to deal with the larger animals that will retaliate. Place traps for small animals, move away a bit, and check regularly. Meat and fur will appear in the trap the next day.
Some animal parts can be cooked. For example, bats drop bat wings after defeat, which can be cooked over a campfire and made into a small meal.
