There are a lot of ingredients to cook from in Westland Survival. And lots of dishes to make to keep your cowboy well-fed! But sometimes even the best of us can get hungry, and that can lead to some unpleasant consequences. Today we will share a few tips regarding hunger and thirst. Hope you will find them useful!

• Raw food helps a little but delicious food satisfies hunger much better and also restores health.
• Caves are very poor with food and water. You can find neither berries nor cactuses there. So grab some provisions if you’re going to have a trip to the caves. 
• Your Ranch is a safe place (most of the time) but your character still needs to eat and drink. Don’t forget to visit your kitchen from time to time while thinking about what to upgrade next. Please note that hunger and thirst parameters are on hold while you are in the Building mode or Craft mode (to enter it, just tap on any of the workbenches). 
• You’d better move to the Global Map (or Building mode/Workshop List as described previously) if you’re going to have some breakfast. This way, you can prevent hunger and thirst parameters from decreasing. What a deadly irony it will be if your cowboy kicks the bucket because of hunger while you are enjoying your coffee break!
