That one colonist in that math problem

a adult colonist needs 1.6 nutrition per day to avoid starving, berries only give 0.05 nutrition per berry . . so, the total nutrition per berry? well lets do the math

9548 x 0.5 = 447.4

thats 447.4 nutrition, from all those gosh darn berries.

main question is, how many days will this dang colonist last? well, quite simple

just divide 447.4 with 1.6.

the total? 298.4.

so thats 298.4 ( half a day ) days until the colonist starves and runs out.

No "What_year_is_it?", mayonnaise is not an instrument.

about half a day, cause hes naked im on a ice sheet and its -70 outside

About three days since the colonist would wake up without a table, eat berries without a table for three days, and then go apeshit insane over eating berries without a table for three days.

amazing scenario
Takk 8 Oct, 2022 @ 9:05am 
@Breen it takes more than an hour to get hungry dumbass, humans only eat 1.6 nutrition a day meaning they eat 32 (1.6/0.05) berries a day (32b/d). Dividing 9548b by 32b/d gives us 298.375d-round to 298 1/3 days. The colonist will begin to starve after almost 300 days. To put that in simpler terms that would be (298/15) 19.87 quadrums or (19.87/4) 4.96 years. Provided the berries are frozen (say he spawned on an ice cap) he will begin to starve around 14th decembary 5505.

so, a berry provides 0.05 nutrition. In order to fill the bar from the base limit at which pawns automcatically eat food, that would be 20 berries, now it is possible for a pawn to eat one more or less depending their speed to reach the food but this is a controlled environment so we will ignore that, that is 20 berries every 1.5 hours, so if we divide 9548 with 20, we should get how many 1.5 hours the pawn can survive with the current amount of berries. that makes 477.4 1.5 hours, which makes 716.1 hours. if we divide that by 24 we can find the amount of days (29.8) which means the pawn will make it to mid septober before starting to starve

I agree entirely
