Hearty Appetite negative

Hearty Appetite is fine while the cans last and a real cost once they do not.

It grants 4 points for needing more food. With looted food piled up, the early downside is barely visible.

Low. Houses are full of food and your hunger system is not yet under pressure.

Noticeable. As looted food depletes, eating more means farming, fishing and hunting harder to keep pace.

Real, but solvable with a strong renewable food base. Winter is when the trait stings most.

It quietly raises the bar for how productive your farm and food systems must be — a self-sufficiency tax, not a survival sentence.

Situational. Fine for players who build serious food production; risky for those who do not.

Lumberjack Unemployed

Considered acceptable points for self-sufficient players, with the standard warning that it punishes weak food planning.
