Hunger

A: Sausages: Most efficient form of eating, causes only a bit of thirst.
B: Moose Meat: Find a dead moose, chop it up with the axe, and grill it.
C: Pizza/Macarons: Not bad, not great, just another option. More thirst than sausages.
D: Chips: Causes insane amounts of thirst, and for their cost, are not very effective.
E: Milk: Also affects thirst.
F: Cigarettes reduce hunger.
G: Beer reduces hunger very slightly.

Stress

A: Sauna: You can use one at home or on the island. Heat it up well, then add water with the ladle. This can be tricky because the game doesn’t always detect it properly.
B: Cigarettes: These quickly reduce stress but make you get stressed faster over time. You can become dependent on them, which causes problems.
C: Chopping Wood: You can do this at home, on the island, and in the shack if you win it from the card game dealer.
D: Drinking alcohol: This can make your character drunk.

Fatigue

A: Sleeping: Passes time relative to how tired you are, and you have to be at least 1/8 fatigue.
B: Coffee
