Servings

Food and drink items can be configured to contain more than one serving.

Whenever such an item is used, at most one serving will be consumed by the player character. The weight, calories and other contents of the item will be reduced by one serving and the remaining servings can be consumed later or immediately.

The servings are not tracked as a number of uses, but rather as a maximum number of calories, that can be consumed during one "use". This means that the player can still interrupt the process and consume less than one serving. This will also lead to more uses than the item has servings, without generating or losing calories, fluid, weight, etc.

The main intention for this feature is to allow rationing and controlled consumption of substances with negative side effects, like alcohol or very dry food items, that drain a lot of thirst.

This effect can be used for any new food or drink item, but cannot be applied to the pre-existing food items.
