Ok so i have been looking at some let's plays and one thing about this game that bugs me is i see no way to see what buffs do like say you eat some corn cob you get a + for health it clearly heals you over time but by how much? now say you make some other food that heals over time there is no way to tell if it heals more or less then the other food unless its a big boost. So maybe i'm wrong but if so can some tell me?
They are eventually putting in tooltips where you'll be able to see exactly what it is doing. Until then you can just look here for consumable items and here for status effects.
I guess you can just count, get your health down to a low level and then see how much it heals you, also food is tiered, so base foods, such as Corn, Rice, Pearlpeas, etc. Give you a smaller amount of regen, however higher tier foods will give more, so i guess you can go by the rarity, aswell.
