Trophic levels being a thing mean that raising cattle, which get eaten by wolves, and you eating wolf meat causes you to kill 100 times the biomass of vegetables of what you eat in wolf biomass–which would be much more focused on killing plants.
on every step you lose about 90%. That's the reason why being vegetarian by default uses less land for agriculture than eating meat.
Raise cattle and still be vegetarian for maximum efficiency!
well if you want to cherish the fact that every bite you take equals onehundred bites of veggies then eating wolf is better - you eating vegetables would then only increase the amount by 1%.
But isn't minmaxing the fun out of your game to chase the 1% damage increase exactly what RPGs are about?
