Colonel Martyr it's not that much of a pain to get the ingredients. Btw, there's a shack near the Boomers, that's where I put all my ingredients because right outside that shack there is a campfire.

I guess I've been playing a survivalist for so long that I have every single recipe memorized. Yeah your gonna have to do a few runs every once in a while for ingredients, but after awhile if you know what your doing you'll
end up with like 20 cook cook's fiend stews, 150 bighorner steaks, 100 gecko kebabs, 30 Desert salads, etc. etc.

(stimpaks are weightless on hardcoe mode)

Well I play very hard with increased wasteland spawn (high) and a world of pain mods and I still think food is more reliable.

On the occassion that I do play hardcoe, all the more reason to use food since stimpacks heal over time

I use Stimpaks solely for the convenience. No prep needed, and instant health

Pretty much this, next run though im thinking about doing a survivalist though just for a change of pace.

There is no doubt that survival does offer a lot more healing but from an rp standpoint it just doesn't make sense

Am I more likely to use medical devices (ie stimpack, buffout, med-x, etc.) when I'm shot or injured or am I more likely to eat a steak?
