What it does
Geofruit is the most accessible food in the Gravel Lands. Geotrees drop it regularly, and each bite provides 3.5 satiation, 5 hydration, 0.5 mood and 0.03 kg of body mass. It is not a meal, but it stretches your water and keeps mood moving in the right direction.
The 12-minute decay timer means it is not a travel food. Eat a bite when you pass a tree, or turn the fruit into a recipe before it rots. Do not carry a stack of them into the next layer expecting a pantry.

- Each bite: +3.5 satiation, +5 hydration, +0.5 mood, +0.03 kg body mass.

- Do not spend intelligence on recognizing it unless you have spare points; the tree is obvious.
- It is a Produce-quality ingredient for early cooking recipes.
