Staying well-fed and hydrated in the Wild West is just as important as fighting bandits or taming a horse. In Westland Survival, you’ll find tons of ingredients and dishes to keep your cowboy strong and full of energy. Here's what you need to know:

  • Cooked food gives useful buffs.

  • Raw crops and berries can be eaten but don’t provide any bonuses.

  • All food heals a bit — even raw meat.

  • Pets can be healed with raw meat.

  • You won’t die from hunger or thirst, but after 25 hours without food or drink, you’ll get debuffs. Eat and drink to remove them!

Raw Ingredients

Meat
There are many kinds — from basic Tough Meat to Juicy Haunch and Exotic Meat. The better the meat, the better the cooked dish.
