About this converter

Do Not Starve Crock Pot dishes restore fixed hunger points, and the span runs from 12.5 to 150. Trail Mix and Taffy restore 12.5, Fist Full of Jam, Fishsticks, Pierogi, Butter Muffin and Monster Lasagna restore 37.5, Meatballs restores 62.5, Bacon and Eggs, Honey Ham, Turkey Dinner and Dragonpie restore 75 and Meaty Stew restores 150. That makes one Meaty Stew equal twelve Trail Mixes. Meatballs is the flexible staple because almost any filler works. Monster Lasagna matches Pierogi on hunger but costs 20 health and 20 sanity. Every value here is the Klei dish table figure.

How to use it

Pick two dishes and the unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the total in hunger points. Try 1 Meaty Stew against Trail Mix to see the 12 to 1 gap.

Hunger values are base gains before character multipliers like Wolfgang or Warly. Stale food pays a third of hunger and spoiled food a sixth, noted but not rowed. Two monster foods force Monster Lasagna unless twigs redirect the recipe. Webber skips monster penalties, which the notes record per dish.
