Initial creation of Sustenance page covering Food/Water mechanics, depletion rates, and comprehensive lists of prepared, cooked, and raw consumables.

+![Sustenance UI](wiki-images/0a/0a0456edcfd9103480aac2dfba750381.png)+ +**Food** and **Water** are essential survival mechanics in *Subnautica 2*. These stats steadily deplete while playing on **Survival Mode**. Players must maintain their hunger and thirst levels by consuming food and water items. If either stat reaches zero, the player will lose **Health** continuously until they die.+ +**Sustenance** refers to the category of consumable items crafted from certain **Raw Materials** and **Fauna** using the **Fabricator**. While fish can be eaten raw, using the Fabricator to cook them increases their nutritional value and removes any dehydration penalties associated with raw consumption.+ +To consume an item, press the "Use" keybind while the item is selected in the **PDA**. Some foods also provide health regeneration when consumed.+ +## Mechanics+ +The player's current Food and Water levels are displayed as gauges alongside their **Health** and **Oxygen** meters in the bottom-left corner of the **HUD**. Each gauge represents a value ranging from 0 to 100 points.+ +### Depletion Rates+ +In Survival Mode, stats deplete at the following rates:+ +*   **Water**: Loses 1 unit every 15 seconds.+*   **Food**: Loses 1 unit every 21 seconds.+ +These rates can be improved by using the **Slow Metabolism** biomod, which doubles the time between depletion ticks (e.g., food depletes every 42 seconds instead of 21).+ +## List of Items+ +### Prepared Meals+ +Prepared meals are crafted items that often provide significant benefits, including health restoration.+ +| Icon | Item | Food | Water | Health |+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |+| ![Sugar of Saturn](wiki-images/fd/fd9707f3b520f09e0fb5f49d6c6ab3a0.png) | [Sugar of Saturn](Sugar_of_Saturn) | +10 | -
