What it does
Nutrient Bars are the food you keep for the layer you did not plan for. Each of the three bites gives 12.5 satiation and adds 0.136 kg of body mass. Because the bar never decays, it can sit in a bag for an entire run without becoming a liability.
It is craftable at INT 9 from a heat source, flour, produce and fat. That makes it a strong mid-run target once your campfire and food supply are stable. Early on, eat perishables first and save the bar for an emergency.
Effects and usage
- Three bites per bar.
- Each bite: +12.5 satiation and +0.136 kg body mass.

How to get it

The recipe requires INT 9. If you are below that level, the craft can fail or disappear from the menu. See the crafting guide for the exact failure thresholds, or open the crafting calculator to check the ingredients.
Field notes
- Save it for the Descent after your perishable food spoils.
- Eating past 125 satiation adds sickness; do not force the last bite.
- One bar is enough to stop starvation long enough to find a food box.
- Craft bars before a long layer, not during a crisis.
