Food & Water are categories of consumable items crafted from materials and caught creatures using the Fabricator. They are only available in Survival and Hardcore mode. Nutrients, gained through food & water consumption, are required to maintain the players food & water (H2O) levels or else the player risks dying from malnutrition. If too many food items of the same type are eaten at once, the PDA will announce "Blood loss detected" and the player's food and H2O levels will decrease. To consume food & water items the player can left-click on the item in the PDA.
