Q:

I have a question regarding this item.
If I start the Metabolic Primer with one food item, then use a different food item sometime during it’s effect, what happens?

I can think of three possibilities.

  • A: It swaps out the effect of the current food item to the new food item with the remaining duration of the Metabolic Primer.
  • B: Same as above, but resets the timer to 12 hours or addes the new foods duration to Metabolic Primer’s duration. (unlikely)
  • C: The new food item cancels Metabolic primer and the food item it was extending, only using the duration of the new food item. (hopefully not)

So does anyone know which one it is? Preferably from experience.

A:

“A” is not always accurate due to the Primer frequently bugging.

If you hop over to the bugs forum you will see that it is frequently reported that any food consumed after the initial food will have its standard duration and that only the initial consumed food after activating the Primer will have the duration of the Primer.

So if you consume a different food after the initial food that adopts the Primer duration, don’t be surprised to encounter the bug where:

  • The new food has its standard duration
  • The Primer remains active, but any remaining time on it is wasted

Stinvec is correct, I do not reccomend purchasing this product until it is fixed, though from experience, it is consuming a feast off the floor (dirty habit XD) that seems to bug it.

Thanks for the reply.
I just happened to get one in a chest once and I didn’t want it to go to waste.
