Slice of Apple Pie

Slice of Apple Pie is a consumable food item that represents a single serving taken from a whole baked apple pie. It appears in the game as a portable, ready-to-eat portion that restores both hunger and a small amount of thirst. The item is described in-game simply as a delicious piece of apple pie and is identical in flavor purpose to other prepared food slices used for sustenance.

Slices are not crafted directly; they are produced by first baking a whole Baked Apple Pie and placing that pie on a surface. Once placed, the pie functions like a multi-serving container: the player can remove one slice at a time until the pie is exhausted, similar to how servings are taken from a pot of soup. This makes baked pies useful for sharing or for stocking multiple meals from a single prepared dish.

Nutrition and effects vary with the player’s Cooking skill. The hunger and thirst restoration values for a single Slice of Apple Pie are:

• Cooking skill 0–4: restores 26 hunger and 8 thirst.
• Cooking skill 5–9: restores 34 hunger and 11 thirst.
• Cooking skill 10–14: restores 38 hunger and 12 thirst.
• Cooking skill 15–19: restores 42 hunger and 14 thirst.
• Cooking skill 20: restores 45 hunger and 15 thirst.

Practical notes and usage considerations:

• Because slices are taken from a placed Baked Apple Pie, a pie can serve multiple people or multiple meals for one character without repeated baking actions. This is efficient for group play or for saving fuel/resources used in baking.
• Higher Cooking skill improves the nutritional yield per slice, so investing in Cooking increases the long-term efficiency of baked dishes.
• Slices restore a modest amount of thirst in addition to hunger, making them a better single-item meal option than many purely solid foods.
• Treat placed pies as shared supplies: if left in unprotected areas, other players or NPCs may access slices in the same way as the owner can.
• The item’s short description emphasizes taste rather than special effects; there are no unique status changes or buffs listed for eating a slice beyond hunger/thirst restoration.
