Great Guide turtle, one thing you missed is the whitespring restaurant near the french cooking lady where all you gotta do is sit down in a chair and a robot comes that also sells tasty stews , deathclaw wellingtons and cranberry meatball grinder just like yasmin, worth the free fasttravel it also sells the herbivore stuff, so a good farming route is to have a camp down with yasmin, swap to grandma, then visit nuka world (free to fast travel, buy bettys food, like gulper stuffed foot (strenght 1 hour) rad roach / scorpion on a stick (agi 1 hour) radscorpion kebabs energy resist 1 hour , yao guai pastry (carry weight) 1 hour, then whitespring (free fast travel) and shop there, hop servers > repeat

you can still have tea as carnivore too, including company tea and sweet mutfruit tea at normal effect

Hard Lemonade stacks with Company Tea for an additional 10% ap refresh. It lasts 10 minutes and doesn't spoil.

[@PhaserRave]

You can place the ally camp item on a trap, then activate it so you can remove the camp item and ally. This makes it so you don't have to wait for them if they're using the camp item.

[@Jules-77]

Thank you Turtle. My melee girl uses some buffs. One thing I noticed the somewhat useless Mystery candy that weighs so much and can’t be vendored I had started to use. It gives a varied short (6-8 mins) buff as you know. I had used mole rat chunks for the +2 strength and after taking a candy providing strength it wiped the mole rat buff out. So I thought you’d like to know in case it happened to a higher value strength buff. I dumped the candy.

[@elfpimp1]

My staple go to's, where I don't have to go searching for the ingredients is More Rat chunks (+str) and Grilled Radstag(+CW)

[@Jules-77]

You convinced me to dust off my melee character. Used to be such a monster, maybe he will be again.

[@sebwiers1]

My full health melee build is pretty lazy / badly optimized, and I'm still smacking the SBQ for ~950 damage on my best hits, at level 100. More important, I stay in the fight and dish that out over and over and over.

[@iamdarkbloom_]

For any melee build, heck yeah, carnivore all the way! Any of my vats critical builds I'm still sticking with herbivore for those oh so sweet critical damage buffs 😊 Edit: farming blight (for me anyway) is quite a bit easier than farming large amounts of meat/starlight berries etc.

[@madcapsules010]

Great video, Turtle. I'm kind of tempted to try ... wait for it ... a tanky carnivore junkies commando build. The tankiness, agility and ap buffs here look fun to play around with.

[@Moshe_Dayan44]

Yes, I'm now tempted to configure one of my two highest level characters as a Melee/Heavy Guns build now that you've shown me these buffs. Thanks for the awesome content as usual, Turtle!

[@matthewstaples9741]

I actually found 6 peppers at the Whitesprings clubhouse a few times. Just check every table.

[@greenhornet3671]

Hey AT you mentioned about your not losing your buffs when server hopping, I lose my buffs everytime I move from fallout 1st to adventure and back as well as losing any bobblehead I may have equipped, this has been happening for a long time now. I will correct myself I dont always lose the buffs but the time to use them drops rapidly for example I may have a meat buff just consumed with a time limit of 60 mins but when I swap servers it drops down to 10 mins so I have to constantly keep eating, still lose my bobbleheads though

[@Poke-ladd]

I hope Alcohol is next for a buff, at least with duration- like Nukadark should be 60 minutes will all the perks

[@sebwiers1]

60 minutes of +18 luck from a consumable would be a whole new meta.

[@MrJoshuaAM]

I recently changed my full health to herbivore for the extra critical damage. I've been using a vampire+crit damage combat shotgun paired with the overkill. For bosses I switch to the endangerol syringer and cold shoulder.

[@ItAlwaysEnds]

I always make my Ally’s item face a wall so they just stare at it and can’t use it

[@Lordoftheapes79]

I've always been a carnivore. The carryweight advantages are too good to pass up.

[@glupshitto1977]

How much carry weight do you need

[@Lordoftheapes79]

@@glupshitto1977 as Turtle said in the video, I find about 400-500lbs is the sweet spot. The thing is, with the 75 carry weight and 8 str from meat you don't really need any other sources of carry weight buffs to get there. No deep pockets and no high capacity mod for your backpack, drugs are still an option, but not necessary, opening the window to use your mentats strategically, rather than by necessity. Don't misunderstand, what's best totally depends on your preferred playstyle. Getting my carry weight from food fits mine.

[@jvazacas]

Meh, herbivore gives you that fantastic xp buffs and some carry weight buffs. Herbivore is actually easier to get the ingredients you need for the great buffs.

[@Lordoftheapes79]

@@jvazacas there's truth to that, but if you know how to build a character and put together a half decent set of gear, xp is meaningless.

[@madanthonywane]

I’m carnivore because the ladies dig the melee

[@beastabuelos6421]

I've been using carnivore even when herbivore probably would've been better overall. Herbivore just doesn't have the carry weight buffs i need. My main carnivore buffs are radroach or scorpion on a stick, yao guai pastry and deathclaw wellington when i can get the ingredients, or gulper stuffed foot when i can't. I also use seared venison with berries for my bow build to crit every other shot. Maybe i will experiment with other food buffs, but i don't like to spend a lot of time cooking and ingredient gathering lol

[@rickybaird8826]

Great video Turtle! It’s convinced me to give Carnivore a try. Thank you for all you do!

[@Mindcrow]

Save a brahmin, eat a super mutant. Cannibal gang rise up.

[@elkuko8686]

What buffs does eating a super mutant give you? It sounds hilarious and awesome already.

[@_T-dogg_]

The only issue i have with carnivore buff is Broiled Scorchbeast Brain. It only last 30 mins. The brain bombs for herbivore lasts 90 mins.

[@lordhowithurtz]

and what are the ingredients for each recipe? that's why. THREE SUGAR BOMBS?!?! that needs to be changed. one maybe two sugar bombs per recipe.

[@sebwiers1]

When I ran carnivore I was using a lot more 30 minute buffs than that, and yeah, it gets real tiresome. That's one of the hidden features of the new "Tasty X" melee buffs - they last an honest hour, without needing to re-up 4 of the buffs halfway through.

[@-db4rf]

​@@lordhowithurtzThere is this sugar bombs run on youtube check it out and you wil never run out on sugar nombs thank me later..👍🏽

[@netphestsociety3614]

Just since you're talking about food, I was curious if they removed the black blood leaf from the camp flower generator. I still have 4 of them in my camp freezer from that generator but it hasn't produced any more of them in probably about a month or so.

[@Lordoftheapes79]

I'll wager on them coming with the map expansion along with recipes that actually use them.

[@teipkep]

When I play games, I always look for simplest solution. I really don't want to keep up 10 different foodbuffs or go into build mode and respawn vendors etc. It's just not my playstyle. I think 1 foodbuff in game you have to refresh every hour or something, is already a burden.

[@sebwiers1]

I was running a Carnivore build for most of this year, and recently went vegetarian. This obviously was influenced by moving away from melee, but the final incentive was the Company Tea generator - it is so much stronger for herbivores. I do think the video goes a bit far (afaik you can sustain using Backwoodsman) but people do tend to sleep on Carnivore for the benefits to tanking, carry weight, and the stat buffs. Luck is an interesting one - it was a stretch, but I was able to make 33 luck without using Unyielding Armor, or to drop two unyielding pieces from a typical "crit spam" build. Is it worth it? No, I'm pretty happy with Vegetarianism. I'm using fewer buffs at longer intervals and still just about as effective.

[@tt128556]

They may have the highest theoretical dps but if can't hit anything, it rounds down to 0.

[@Turtlenamedbert]

Almost convinced me, but at the end of the day I like just being able to go pick my plants when I need them knowing they will be there every time. And I don’t want to lose my critical damage. Maybe on day though

[@burntdice2810]

I tried listening to this while working and had to restart it like 5 times because I kept getting lost. Very useful info!

[@sadmanpranto9026]

Pepperoni roll is much better carry cap buffer than any other options. You can buy it for dirt cheap price from NPC vendor and hop server to buy more. When I used to play 76, I used to pile up 1 week worth of pepperoni rolls once a week by grinding for 10 minute.

[@subsurface6778]

This video came in at the perfect time for the double xp weekend. Thanks again AT.

[@rick_oshea]

I'm full health herbivore melee, & 1 punching muties in West Tek is enough for me, anything past that is overkill, plus I don't need to run around searching for meat.

[@raizu4349]

Does the melee damage buff work with throwing knives?

[@Boo7ism1]

I really appreciate your thumbnail actually being the real values you get, not some 99999% nonsense that's saturating videos currently.

[@Dreez76]

I don't know if i am doing something wrong, but i have carnivore, no buffs and when i eat a Deathclaw wellington, it doesn't give any health at all. All i see it +7.5 str and some rad resist, but my health (alltho bloodied) doesn't increase at all. I'm starting to believe that some of these foods were nerfed. Also... that food that increases melee damage by 350% ... GL making it.. it requires SO much sheepsquatch meat it's not even funny. And applying these buffs requires a very specific order or they will cancel eachother out , or so i've been told. Currently i'm stuck with Glowing meat with +100% melee dmg and +90 health.

[@fifteen8]

Thanks, Turtle. So for XP farming Westek - without the team tagging method - is carnivore a significant advantage now? And would Backwoodsman 6 be better than Live and Love for XP farming as an herbivore?

[@sebwiers1]

They are functionally identical. Carnivore was lagging without Backwoods boosting meat dishes, but is now on equal footing XP wise.

[@elfpimp1]

This makes sense.

[@khansciousrobinson4834]

Wow it really is buffed up if you use the right mutations & buffs

[@Allegedly_Monkey]

I'll never understand why everyone thinks that The Deep is good for getting starlight berries. The only places anyone every talks about for farming them are The Deep and the area between Gauley Mine Exit and the unnamed house just past Slocum's Joe. The Deep is just plain trash for farming starlight berries with only 18 plants in total, plus the enemies and extra load screen. The run from Slocum's Joe to Gauley Mine Exit is decent, but it's a huge area to cover, and I think the best I've ever gotten is around 100. Down around Charleston Station you can grab about 120 and it's a pretty small area to run comparatively. And if you venture over around Poseidon Power Plant, between there and the Nuka Cola Factory, there are a bunch as well. Also, the last area I mentioned, they grow as vines at the base of trees, and each vine can be picked 3 times, instead of just one time like with the single plants.

[@OldmanSerious]

Cranberry Meatball Grinder goes away after death. I made my melee alt into a Carnivore and after doing a Scorched Earth I had a bunch of SB meat so I grabbed some cranberries and made the Grinder. While I was eating a bunch of other things (including the Grinder) I just died for no reason (I've seen this before, you just drop dead after eating something). All my other buffs appeared to be fine, but the Grinder was gone. Ate the other Grinder and a bit later died again. Grinder not in effects list again.

[@AngryTurtle]

It didn't disapear when I died as I tried that, what platform?

I'm sorry Turtle I don't feel the love Your whole post is based upon having Backwoodsman 6 running, which is a rare drop and only lasts for an hour And the TWELVE food buffs you show are not easy pickups but something you will have to grind for (for the most part) And, can we all agree that melee is not effective at most fights, the ranged weapons kill the mobs before you can run to them. I'm staying herbivore, based upon your earlier posts ( I do wuv you for everything you've done for the game) The 10 food buffs I run are easy to accumulate with about 20 minutes a day of foraging, the chems take some time but only once a month (like berry mentats, psycotats, and Overdrive and the alcohol of your choice, ballistic bach or high energy whatchamcallit are easy to make. I know most of the people I play with are carnivores, because they are challenged by carry weight issues, and I hope they gain some insight into getting more out of their builds, but when push comes to shove, my Herbivore build is doing more damage, and my carry weight is 485 P.S. Great job!
