Quality description

"All of us must eat."

Obtaining

Hunger is represented by a red bar on a meter located at the top left of the screen, and increases by half your current crew (.5 rounds to the nearest even integer) every 10 seconds whenever the game is not paused. Note that staying docked with the Gazetteer closed counts as "not paused".

When the Hunger meter reaches or exceeds 50, the crew will be automatically fed by consuming one unit of supplies. This is recorded in the Log book as "Fed the crew" and resets Hunger to 0. This results in the following supplies consumption based on crew:

Crew	1	2	3-5	6	7-9	10	11-13	14	15-17	18	19-25	26-33	34-49	50-98*	99-∞*
Seconds per supplies	-	500	250	170	130	100	90	80	70	60	50	40	30	20	10
Supplies per minute	0	0.12	0.24	0.35	0.46	0.6	0.67	0.75	0.86	1	1.2	1.5	2	3	6

*No ship has sufficient quarters for this crew size

If Hunger exceeds 50 without being able to automatically feed the crew, the Mouths to Feed event will be triggered.
