dpnt yum like this, yumming with raw foods has been proven wasteful many times.
carrots, the best raw food, are only worth it at 17 yum, costs considered. use meat pies, milk, stew and berries tp yum. avoid carrots, beans and corn at all costs.
You're absolutely right - but you have to consider availability and accessibility to new players. It's more meant to introduce the idea of yum bonus, perfection and conservation can be refined once the base idea has taken root.
This is more for beginners, I just wanted to share how I'm able to kick off a game with a decent yum bonus. If you're an advanced player feel free to discuss some further strats in the replies. I'm sure there are plenty of ways to get the maximum bonus, I just focused on the easiest route i found to consistently obtain x10.
Prerequisite: You are born into a larger camp/small town. As long as you have a kitchen and crops you're in a great position to start a yum chain.
1. Berry
As soon as you can pick things up, get to the berry patch and stuff one of those sweet suckers into your face
2. Berry (the sequel)
Find a bowl, put a berry into it, pick up the bowl and eat it as soon as you're down a pib
3. Carrot
Hit up the crops and grab a carrot. You may not be hungry yet, so carry it around and find resources for a fire
4. Corn
While gathering supplies for fire, shuck a corn and eat it whole like an animal
5. Egg
Every camp I've seen has at least a couple eggs laying around the outskirts by the farm. You just need a fire, flat stone, a plate and an egg. You should have enough food and some supplies ready now. Throw the rock on hot coals, Cook that egg and eat it, and start another fire.
6. Rabbit
Those rabbits that are littering the fur farm? Skewer one and roast it over the second (now dead) fire you made.
7. 8. 9. 10. Foraging
Grab a pie (just in case) and head to the wilderness. Our goals are burdock (green grass), wild carrot (yellow grass), cactus fruit (brown dry lands) and banana (jungle)
Congrats, you now have a good start and ideally haven't even taken a bite of pie. Head back to camp and do whatever you want. When you get hungry, hit up the bakery for bread, pies, meat and all other goodies or grab a bowl of stew. Cook up unusual pies (most only bake mutton and rabbit but forget you can make so many types) and you shouldn't have to worry about hunger again.
Some bonus food ideas:
Turkey broth (bones+crock+water)
The Holy Trinity pie (rabbit+carrot+berries)
Dairy (milk/skim/butter)
I like to call this series "Signs"...
Oh sweet, I made that one for my mom when I spent my whole life learning to make letters.
