A C-ration is a kind of comestible that appears in Nethack. Similar to a K-ration, it can be eaten in one move, and is suitable for vegans.
Generation
Yendorian Army fighters have a 1⁄2 chance of being generated with a C-ration.[1]
Strategy
C-rations can be eaten in one move, making them valuable for quick nutrition in desperate situations, and are plentiful if you can clear out barracks, such as those found in Fort Ludios and the Castle. However, K-rations and C-rations are almost effectively identical, except that K-rations have a higher nutrition value - this makes them the preferred food to stock for the Astral Plane.
History
The C-ration first appears in NetHack 2.3e.
Origin
C-rations are a real-world ration type issued to U.S. military soldiers from 1938–1958 (the current issue is the MRE ration), most notably during World War II. They were very simple fare that quickly gained a reputation for being monotonous.[2]
Each meal consisted of two cans, a "B" or bread unit and an "M" or meat unit, with a day's rations consisting of three such meals. As the name suggests, the "M" units contained meat, and even the contents of the "B" units were generally not vegan.
Messages
- This C-ration is bland.
- You ate a non-cursed C-ration.
