Damn I just read in the FAQ that food is not supported yet, this is the version I have downloaded (SCI_AIMNAS_XMAS_Release_on_r5744_d1578) and I thought it would be fun to check the food system in my new game... thing is now my mercs are almost dying of hunger after almost a week of combat and I can't find food anywhere.

So, is there a chance to edit the savegame or do I just have to restart the game?

Thanks in advance!

• Set 1 on the canteen item in Items.xml.
• In Food.xml, set this:
  

  
    1
    Canteen
    0
    200000
    1
    1
    0
  

  This will give all canteens an obscene amount of water (as far as consuming it goes). Give your mercs to drink, but be cautious not to over-water them. After no merc is thirsty anymore, save the game and exit.
• Edit the xml again:
  

  
    1
    Canteen
    200000
    0
    1
    1
    0
  

  Same as before, this time canteens will feed your mercs. Feed them until nobody is hungry anymore, save, exit.
• Last edit to make sure you don't accidentally feed them in your campaign:
  

  
    1
    Canteen
    0
    0
    20
    1
    0
  

  With this, assuming there are no more food items around, you should feel no effects of it at all.
