These crafted items serve as a dietary supplement for the various fauna encountered across planetary surfaces. They are consumed by creatures to replenish their hunger and, in some instances, influence their behavior. Offering these food items can foster positive interactions with wildlife, leading to potential rewards.
Providing sustenance to the indigenous lifeforms can unlock benefits such as the acquisition of resources, guidance towards points of interest, and even temporary companionship. Prior to the introduction of this system, interaction with creatures was often limited. This encourages players to explore the ecosystem and develop beneficial relationships with the alien inhabitants of the planets they visit.
