Hi, i have noticed that food items in Fallout NV seem to be scaling when i advance in levels. The amount of reduced dehydration or hunger is getting bigger over time. Does this come from player levels or another variable and is it possible to deactivate it and how?

I'd guess you're raising your Survival skill, I'm pretty sure your level doesn't affect this.

The effect of the survival skill on food is hardcoded? Or is it possible to change/deactivate this effect?

Why not search through the settings to see if any look like they might affect it?

It's set by the type of consumable, for instance setting type to "medicine" makes it scale with medicine skill, setting type to "food" makes it scale with survival. Setting type "chem" makes it scale with neither if I recall.

Have some news for this. It seems that food items aren't generally scaling with survival. I made a few food items and they don't scale. They are labeled as food in the GECK. I compared brahmin steak and brahmin meat to find a LIST or anything else which is listing scaling food but i found nothing, so where is the information stored if a food item is scaling or not?

Odd. The ingestibles (food items) I created scale with Survival. Is the Equip Type set as food and the Food Item checkbox checked on the ingestible's form?

The items are set as Food and the Food Item checkbox is also checked, so its pretty strange that they are not scaling.

*Edit:* some of my items were missing flags, have them set now correct and the items are scaling. Thanks for the suggestion. I have also seen that some of the vanilla items are missing the flags, for example some nuka cola types.

*Edit 2:* The scaling seems to be quite big, items giving 3 times their base values is too much i think or is this logical/balanced?
