Protein sources

As your survivor progresses, the need of protein is vital. Therefore, hunting small play at first, then bigger predators is one of the basic activities in the daily routine.

Side note: Protein Bar
The Protein bar is a ration that is randomly available in Containers. Values goes: 16/0/8/-2

Small play
Every small animal wandering around is at Lvl 0, with HP between 25 or 30. An arrow is usually enough to cripple or kill any rabbit or chicken you encounter. Using any gun ammo to hunt it is kind of a waste.

The meat of these preys can be eaten raw, but cooking them on a campfire or a furnace increases the quality of their apports (Protein;Fruit/Veg.;Hunger;Hydration) Note: Raising rabbits and chicken unlocks better quality meat. Chicken, in particular, can lay eggs as side source of protein as well.

Bigger animals
Wolves, bears and cougars are also living protein sources, although they will also consider you as quite the healthy meal.

The two eatable sorts of meat are the Steak and the Liver (which can be also used to craft Antidotes). Their values are goig so: (Protein;Fruit/veg;Hunger;Hydration)
