Forage gives food 3x more than water
 

Is this on purpose and/or classic?

I bound my movement keys to include a forage/autoinventory and after several days, I consistently have to destroy stacks of food (rabbit meat, fruit, roots, vegetables), but Pod of Water pretty much stays there at 10 stack items.

From my memory, this is classic. From what I recall of live in the distant past, it was not until a fairly high foraging skill that I kept up with water. (It wasn't until the higher levels that I found it safe to use the good quality stat food & water while remaining full on forage.)

I'm a 22 Ranger with 115 skill on P99 now and only kinda keeping up with it: I do have a few stacks of water in reserve, and sometimes see my foraged water amount steadily decreasing or increasing depending on luck of the forage; I'm almost always full with food.

I believe the foraging chances were fairly evenly split between the basic roots/fruit/berries/rabbit/veggies/water (/grubs?) such that you would always receive significantly more food than water on success.

Classic, but should be fixed by this point. The foraging the correct item when you're hungry or thirsty was attempted to be added, but is not actually working on P1999.
