My Notes

HungerChange = -40, is filling our hunger bar up by 40%, adding a prefix to the item name prevents mod collisions HS_DriedSteak

Animations fot the player actions are the in folder /media/AnimSets/player/actions/

icons need to have the item_ prefix and be a .png

make a procedural dist file to spawn items arounf the pz world
