What Does Cabin Fever Bonus do in Recipes?

[Pencil]

Has anyone figured out what the cabin fever bonus for the higher level cooking recipes? (TFTFT) Does this prevent cabin fever risk from showing up for a bit, decrease the duration of cabin fever, or cure it all together? Or something else?

I do think it takes off a few % from the cabin fewer risk. Idk by how much tho, so far ate recipe items only when it wasnt visible in aflictions ":D

Cabin Fever is a hidden player statistic that TLD watches whenever the player is at an indoor location (inside cabins, buildings, mines and caves with a transition/loading screen, including "outside indoors locations" which are a structure without a loading screen like Mountaineer's Hut in Timberwolf Mountain). Cabin Fever occurs when you spent more than 18.83 hours per day indoors (averaged over the last 6 days). "Cabin Fever Risk" appears on your Status page (and "!" yellow indicator warning by your Condition) when a survivor has has spent 75%+ of the time indoors to progress towards Cabin Fever. This is similar to how Vitamin-C is constantly tracked, but "Scurvy Risk" only appears on the Status page when you have less than 25% Vitamin-C remaining.

• Eating TFTFT foods with "Cabin Fever Reduction" gives the player credit (based on % of the foodstuff eaten) towards time spent outdoors
• Cabin Fever Reduction Foods will always have an effect, even if you do not have "Cabin Fever Risk"
• They do not reduce the time "Cabin Fever" remains on your character if it has already manifest: however it can still be beneficial to eat these foods while afflicted with Cabin Fever, since Cabin Fever/Risk is constantly checked and will re-apply indefinitely if a survivor stays above that 18.83 hours per day amount, so by staying indoors 100% of the time it could still be possible to not treat existing Cabin Fever, but allow it to pass for a time

I've been wondering the same thing, thanks for clearing it up @Veskaida!

I just kind of have Cabin Fever deducing food lying around, not knowing when to use it, so thanks!
