Starfield is an open-world role-playing game in which players assume the role of a miner tasked with finding Artifacts across the galaxy. From first-/third-person perspectives, players interact with various characters, complete quests, and search for supplies while battling enemies (e.g., humans, robots, alien creatures).

400g (nearly 1 pound) = 200 kcal, that is very low nutrition value. They are made of substance that human body can not digest and flavorings. 😂😂😂 Definitely not other humans because 1 pound of meat would have 600+ kcal
Good point, it's freeze dried too, so 400g is ALOT of food. That said, it's still more calories then diet food like konjac jelly haha
Chunks are made from humans. DILUTED HUMAN PASTE transformed into cubed version with different flavors to meet everyone's expectations.
My guess is Celulose fiber and artificial protein suplimemt. Regularity in low-G and zero-G environments is just as important as it is on earthlike and near-earthlike gravity. 200cal per chunk is pretty low for 400g. Low-cal diet is important in transport/travel hravy jobs where the driver/pilot/crew is largely sedentary. The end result is a substantial food that fills but doesn't digest and process to fat.
Of course, that doesn't explain the option to make a lardass in the character creator.
Wine chunks flavors are probably just gelatin and flavored alcohol.
My personal favorite thing to say is "Cabernet Chunkingnon" because it's the only one that worked the word "chunk" into the existing word.
How do you know that a pound of human has 600 cal ??
human a lot fater than most animals that we know about, our body fat radio are larger than some pigs, I'm damn serious 😂since we takes in chemicals on daily bases and use a lot of plastic, and some of us use aluminum pan and woks to cook, and not to mention there are people take tobacco and even narcotics, it is not hard to understand human meat must be super fat and taste wiredly bad🤣@@angelikac6767
Also in the game you can also find out that all chunks have the same nutritional value hinting at the fact that they're all the exact same composition it's just different flavours
God that is so gross...
Hmm, maybe a good thing... burger chunks having the same nutrition as... uh, the eggs is a pretty good deal, assuming it tastes as advertised
Soylent Blue is my favorite.
NOIZE ? It’s chaotic
@@stoneywiggins9942 lmfao
I now want a DLC all about the secrets of chunks.
It really won't be surprising to have Chunks corporate HQ be the setting of at least 1 questline in the first DLC.
Wouldn't surprise me in the least, it's a mystery carrot dangling just out of reach, maybe a Nuka World type construct.
Or possibly in the same vein as the 1985 movie The Stuff, a sentient white thick sugary liquid that desires to be eaten by other lifeforms as some form of mind control.
There needs to be a chunks faction quest line.
For Bethesda that’s not to far out their either
@@Apoc5kor Soylent Green
Another important thing as to why Chunks are chunks, brand identity. It's impossible to mistake a Chunk for any other kind of food and you instantly know what you're getting when you see that cube of comprssed food
I figure part of the "love" for chunks is more so indicating a food desert situation for many humans in the settled systems. They love chunks because access to actual meals is unfortunately very scarce since earth became Arakkis
Also im convinced they are made of a weird gray paste like that one spongbob episode where a corporation bought out the krusty krab
They'd probably have less of a food desert problem if they had settled together on one planet instead of everyone going off to found one city on a dozen different worlds.
Pink slime baby!
@@42crazyguy yeah why don’t they populate an entire planet instead of one city
I get the vibe that they're made from tofu or something similar, not meat at all, purely plant protein. I think it'd be funny to have a quest that talks up the horror of chunks, have several characters give you hints that they're made from Soylent green or something, only to find out at the end that it's totally innocent and actually really clean and the founder is losing his mind because everyone thinks it's a horrible secret.
That would be a hillarious twist of fate that would subvert the classic Solyent green trope by simply playing it straight and having Chunks just be plain tofu chunks mixed with protein additives like eggs, whey, and other common proteins (Possibly mushrooms for a meat texture). But everyone in the settled systems are so used to expecting the worst that some nut hires the player to investigate the company's main hidden HQ and the end result has either destroys the company or has them lose their secret recipes due to a bunch of idiots.
Extremely processed plant protein lol I agree
Maybe it could also be an pioneered method of 3d printed prepared food since right now, we're researching methods of printing organs and growing meat in the lab and there seems to be 3d printers around in game.
that would be quite funny, but then their calorie value would be so much higher.
They have a great take on this in The Outer worlds woth Saltuna. That dark humor was done so well in that game.
You ever see those generic 'Nutrient' items? That's probably what chunks are made from, sourced from all over the Settled Systems, like that employee said. They don't know what's in them because they're made of all kinds of stuff. Tissue, Stalks, Seeds, Saps, Roots, Leaves, Flowers, Carapaces, Glands, Bones, Hides and Vital Fluids. Add artificial flavor, texture, etc. and you've got a chunk.
Tbh not as bad as I was thinking.
@@Yorkington Bad enough . I don't know where you are from, but the US has more artificial food additions than the rest of the world and many people report that they loose weight when living for example in Europe without changing their eating habits and on the other side many report that they have health problems when coming from anywhere else in the world and then living in the US for a longer time. For example many US chocolate companies adds a chemical (Butyric acid) to their chocolate that US chocolate taste for the rest of the world like vomit. And other chemicals used in the US are forbidden anywhere else in the world like yellow 5.
@@seanthiar I don't care about your soapboxing about muh America. Take it elsewhere, this isn't the video you should do it on as it's focused on Starfield.
@@Yorkington looks like I hit a sore spot....
@@seanthiar Dude, your ramblings are not related to the video topic at all, lol.
Chunks being the only fast food gives me vibes from the Stalone movie Demolition Man. He wakes up in a sham utopia and gets invited to the city's premiere restaurant; Taco Bell. This is because they won the fast food wars after the city's collapse trough its restoration. The Neon location may as well be a nod to it lol.
Chunks is the only fast food *franchise*. There's plenty of fast food options in the settled systems, but due to how kinda...spread out and sparsely populated humanity is in Starfield it's mostly small independent businesses using locally sourced foods.
More diner-style. You can get a patty-melt with fries, kebabs, tacos, wraps, hoagies etc
This guy is asking the real questions.
Go to the lodge. Go downstairs, make your way to an odd offbranched underground tunnel, make your way up a small flight of stairs, and you will find a door to the well, before the door, to the left in the central room there is a bloody table with butchers knife and chunks sauce
I came to the comments just to see if anyone else saw this weird area.
I saw that but i saw there bucket of fish or smth simmilar so i thought about it
@@loomzoom yes, I went back and saw that was a bucket of fish. My first playthrough I thought it was arms lol.
I saw that place too.
in my opinion, the special sauce for chunks may be
composed by something that extracted from fishes. as like a AURORA.
if you irritated by poor englishes from my reply, then i'm sorry just ignore my reply. and thx.
I personally think that Chunks signature chunks are really just highly processed food products combined with a lot of preservatives has oils, fats, spices, sugars and salts added (for taste), and covered with a proprietary “secret sauce” which in reality is just made of cheap and abundant spices and common sauces. So basically run of the mill fast food!!
if so, their calorie content per weight would be a lot higher. They would contain those minerals that they state they don't... Whatever they are made from, its mostly indigestible.
@@RecuringWolfeI think it’s the Starfield equivalent to Fallout 4’s pink slime!! A reference to real life questionable food industry practices!!
"Don't ask, Don't tell" by Chunks. 😂😂😂
you've got a way of telling a story that is both enticing and entertaining at the same time
Given everything we know about Chunks, my guess is that there isn't anything necessarily nefarious about them, it's just that they are completely artificial. And not in the sense like synthmeat, which seems to try to mimic real meat to the celular level, I mean like flavoured plastic. Some sort of polymer that though edible, is actually indegestible, and the calories in the label are just enough nutrient supplements they put in the cubes before pumping them full of artificial flavoring. That would explain their indefinite shelf life, the fact that all of them have the same nutritional content, and their desire for secrecy
I always thought it was made from those fat grub worm things you find around the game, I even found a worm "Farm" with a Chunks Employee Handbook near by.
Mmm... nutritious xenogrubs.
those critters have a secret 😳 keep playing...
You're thinking of the Heatleaches, as far as I can tell xenogrubs just make disgusting noises as they grub around@@Randomonium66
Eating bugs is the future
That isn't even a crazy theory, as they're seemingly abundant and contain nutrients once you kill them.
Ground them up like Neon does with chasmbass, and paint it up all pretty with artificial flavoring to go alongside it and voilá
Imagine if the shattered space dlc is going to be finding out exactly whats in chunks.
Pretty sure i'd buy it lol
Passing ship Freestar Autobahn I mentioned that Chunks don't taste the same as they used to and must have changed the formula.
(Update: I was just wandering around the Well and realized that the blood spatter/Chunks special sauce I was remembering (along with a whole bunch of unrefrigerated seafood-of-unknown-origin and "organic waste") is behind Jake's. So probably don't eat there. Also, I'd really like to know what's in that sauce.) I'm late to this conversation, but there is that one place where you find a case of Chunk's special sauce next to what looks like blood spatter. As I recall, I ran across it by entering the Well via the Lodge escape tunnel thing. It was a "what the hell happened here?" moment. It was a fleeting moment, because there were more pressing matters to deal with, but I have been suspicious of Chunks ever since 😂The square Chunks "egg" pretty much clinches it as a no-go for me. You find those all over, sans wrapper, and it just look like the egg was crammed in there against its will.
I listened to the description (from the worker in Neon) of what happens to the rest of the Chasmbass that they don't use for Aurora... They grind it up into a paste - bones and all. I think maybe Chunks is Chasmbass offal.
They use this paste in Xenofresh to make cheap food, you can check it by talking with the employee of Xenofresh stall in Underbelly
some sort of xeno animal or plant but highly unlikely to be chasmbass or any animal's offal, since Chunks weight 400 gram (that's about half kilogram or a pound), but only has like 200Kcal of energy, I mean this thing is a diet food, it can make you full but you don't really get much from it (an adult human, in average would burn 2000 Kcal per day on basic needs, like you don't need to do exercise and gym, you just wake up, do some desk job and take a dump and play vedio game, this one day will cost you 2000Kcal, so you know 400 gram food gives you only 200Kcal that is like, just sad.....), it must be really cheap to make, could be entirely factory chemical synthesis, like it is not even from real xeno animal, just some chemicals combined..... this thing should be the last result to eat I think, it doesn't sounds right from any angle.... @@lostsoulltd
Ah sorta.. both are made from people tho!
Also makes sense why the gov of Neon could have such a respectable position despite being a mass level pusher: he has supply deals with other gov’s. It just business, man.
@@1nsytegames42 idk, all of neon was bought and sold for about 37 credits on my run and 3 pieces of napkin with ketchup
Soybean cubes are being sold in some places right now, I believe. Add in some artificial flavor and color, and you could have your own Chunks.
The same with beyond meat. Some soy lots of chemicals with artificial flavours and even fake hemoglobin
Tofu, which is made from Soybeans, can be retexturized to nearly any consistency. Tofu has almost no flavor of its own and there are entire restraunts that specialize in making Tofu taste like meat and other foods. Something tells me that Chunks isn't made from soybeans (mainly the burger and cheesesteak is some sort of gel) but the technique to flavor Tofu and potato chips is likely the same. Not sure Chunks would bother retexturizing the product for a better mouth feel.
I really hope that in the NG+ universes, there is one where you get Spheres or something, and an actual location or ship for more background. Equally though, I suspect because of their promotional stuff all involving chunks, they've held back the end of the questline so they can do new flavours for the promo of the expansion too. It feels like this is just prep for something later anyway. Alongside maybe starbases and mechs. And almost certainly the House Va'ruun home-world.
Beth games are too easily data-mined too. If anything content-wise is going to drop as a free update, it'll be when the creation kit launches and it would be something of a promotional nature like this.
That will never happen since chunks have two possible outcomes in the game so far from what I found. Unpacked chunks are what is leftover of people when Sam is done with them. Package chunks are combined with the special sauce and can be either sent to reliant medical or the production facility. Either credits or “genetic samples”
"these chunks look innocent enough". Cube food is not innocent! 😂
Chunks, it’s got electrolytes!😊
Don't know if this is too off topic but I really like how most of the books in Starfield are just like excerpts. It lets me feel like I'm actually encountering and carrying around full on books in the game without anyone actually needing to write or read 120 pages of autobiography.
I have a theory it's like Slurm from futurama. Where you have this huge alien worm queen squeezing out green goo that they put in soda cans. Maybe it's something similar and then they just add artificial flavoring and food dye. :p
You never know, you could be eating terrormorph giblets
@@redacted2458hmmmmmmm tasty
Thank you for the subtitles
I could go for a good Chunk of beer right now.
I remember someone saying that Chunks was some form of printed/freeze dried food product. It could be a remnant idea during the NASA era that could have taken off. That being said, there's no telling what's in that stuff and, if the Ryujin quest line is indicative of anything, it's that corporations are supremely involved in some shady dealings.
There are some Chunks vending machines that look very much like 3D printers, so I feel like that's not to far off. Plus they all have that embossed logo. I don't honestly think there is any kind of deep dark secret here. Just that it's a corporation doing what corporations do and producing a sort of cheap, edible paste slurry that's flavored and colored to look like various foods, then printed or pressed into branded cube shapes. Since it's available to be eaten right out of the package I don't think it's freeze dried. Those foods are normally reconstituted with hot water. Just shelf stable food cubes.
Then again, this is Bethesda writing, and if there's anything they love doing it's having companies like this go too far in the pursuit of profit.
“corporations are supremely involved in some shady dealings.”
Nothing new.
I'm pretty sure that the existence of Chunks sauce implies the survival of Earth's miracle berry, as that's the only thing I can imagine that could produce a sauce that would be interesting with *all* Chunks.
I like how its basically garbage fast food at best and they give you folded napkins at the tables.
it the 1st line in the autobiography My life Chunk by Chunk " Humans are animals smart animals sure, but still animals. " that line alone make me not pick up chunks when getting loot I highly think it made with human. just a side note but have you seen a grave yard or cemetery. and knowing that Bethesda likes to put cannibalisms in there games. this makes prefect sense to me.
I saw a video of someone growing a apple cube and it reminded me of Chunks 😂
I've met a worker on some planet doing some really shitty work and his comment when I passed was - 'work isn't great, but better than working in the chunks kitchen. I have still nightmares about that.' I don't think anyone wants to know what chunks really are.
I don't know how popular the movie is, but chunks reminded me about a movie with the French comedian Louis de Funes called 'The Wing or the Thigh' from 1976
In my playthrough, I went to the basement of the lodge and into the well entrance that’s down there. Followed all the way to where the door that’s locked right before the commercial area is in the well is located and to the left of the hallway where the bloody table and whatever buckets of worms or heartaches or whatever they are with the cutting board with utility knife is there was a box of chunks special sauce labeled “steal” idk if that was a random item load for my game or if others also get this item there but seems weird lol
Chunks are one of, if not the most abundant item group in the game. We know that they must be being produced in significant quantities somewhere, so where in the Starfield is the factory?
Could it be located on a rogue, extrasolar planetoid or space station? We can travel to every star within range, and they themselves would have to be in a relatively central location for product distribution reasons.
To be fair, Chunks Cake and Cheesesteak does look good.
But how does one eat a Chunk? Knife and fork? Bite it like an apple? All at once? Reconstitute with hot water? Those are real questions.
It feels like a bouillon cube situation…
I'm thinking two bites, no water needed. After all, Chunks Cola is a drink...
I was always sceptical of Chunks and never touched them. Whenever my character was hungry I boarded a Crimson Fleet Wright as these have a huge galley with real grapes, peaches and at least one boxed meal made from fresh ingredients.
Yessss quality Nefas ASMR ❤️
one of the best lore videos on youtube great job!!!!
Have you noticed that there are no old folks homes anywhere in the settled systems?
Pensions exist, which we see from our parents. I'm assuming that medical science is good enough to prevent the worst elements of dementia.
I love how the bottom of every chunk is an engraving of the logo
Chunks is my favorite food, I love the square design, they should make these irl out of real food
honestly, if they made this a brand irl, i think it would sell.
Prepare for the volleys of opinionated opposition once such a characterless and dystopian product actually hits the market
I found it kind of funny that such a highly compressed food would have such wasteful packaging, reminds me of how a lot of products are packaged to increase shelf visibility but just having a tiny object inside like a USB drive
The way chunks are presented makes me think of Slurm from Futurama.
I have been under the impression that Chunks is a fancy 3D printed food that uses some sort of biomass filament that gets that appropriate flavoring to get it close to what it represents.
Astronauts have to take supplements for lack of Vit D in our current day and age, with my military background sometimes just a matter of getting something in my belly till later. I do enjoy an MRE or some freeze-dried but needless to say I would probably be into eating a Chunk. With how far into time this is... how we know those foods may be vastly different due to genetics to improve crops.
Great Video !
I think chunks are the remnants of the xenowarfare projects. Maybe it’s terrormorphs, or heat leeches since they are everywhere until you wipe them mostly out via the vanguard quest line.
Maybe the collector is the founder of chunks? His ship looks like it produced something at one time.
Really enjoy the lore series.
I found a wall with a scrawled comment saying something like "does anyone else think chunks taste like plants?" The follow up is a yes. It's just some sort of plant protein with artificial flavors, and fancy texture methods. But the reason we can't find a Chunks factory is because there is no factory. There are a load of unusable vending machines which look kind of like 3D printers, and they have some text on them. I think they were meant to be Chunks printers, even though there are working Chunks vending machines. Though, the Chunks vending machines might be making Chunks on the spot anyway, which would explain why they're everywhere.
You can find an in game box of chunks special sauce on the bloodied table when you are being chased by the Hunter in the sewers leading to the Well.
boy when they "blow Chunks" in Starfield they really blow Chuncks.
been thinking the same thing, something really shady about Chunks and how addicting it can be to some people
This is honestly my favorite thing in starfield 😂😂😂
I hope they incldue a questline in future DLCs where you get a golden ticket and the equivalent of Willy Wonka gives you a tour of a Chunks factory and you actually get to see what they're really made of.
I like how Bethesda always make so many of their own brands in their games, maybe they’ll be a Chunks DLC 😆
Soylent Green !!!
Chunks packaging is made to be displayed on a wall hook. Chunks packaging is made to have a uniform appearance. It is made to have shelf appeal and a high level of brand recognition. It is made specifically not to show off the product. That is a shame, because Chunks actually have a good appearance.
Chunks packaging is actually bad for shipping. The Chunks themselves are wonderful tiny cubes that could be super efficiently packaged. The packaging they come in has this huge backing that ruins the wonderful compactness of the product. That huge backing makes it easy to hang from a hook, or put on a store shelf, and easy to recognize from a long distance away. But with that backing the tightest you can pack Chunks is by having 2 of them facing each other and rotated 180 degrees in the case they come in. Without the packaging you'd be able to squeeze about 8 in the same space 2 take up now. And like hell you'd ship these out of a factory without the packaging. All sorts of people would make strange accusations if they knew the finished product was being shipped around outside of the packaging. Marketing nightmare.
Iirc isn't Tau Ceti facilities were originally made for Aceles butchering? Especially with some posters in the place, some lore blurbs about using em for cattle during the war with Freestar, some notes across that quest and the sheer size of some buildings
I like to think chunks as the dark side of humanity - like how food is done in Dredd. People live, eat, go to Resyc by the law or natural death; rinse and repeat.
thank you!
Chunks.... sound like a long lost vault experiment...... kinda a lasting homage to the VaultTec Corp.
Seeing as there are "bug" food items, if Chunks were made of bugs I don't think they would need to hide the fact.
Or that it would be considered nefarious.
I really never interpreted Chunks as anything sinister, it's just Space Food (as in, not meant to substitute real food, it's just meant for consumption in a Zero-G environment), but it's so cheap that many poor or impoverished people can only afford to eat Chunks.
Also, it's based around old food that NASA was working on, where food would be dehydrated and pressed into cube form, and then packaged in vacuum sealed bags. The Meal Tray Kits you can find are also based around old NASA food solutions.
Honestly i just assumed it was something for space travel and with space travel being so common place it basically just became space fast food
Earned a subscriber.
"IT'S PEOPLE! IT'S MADE OUT OF PEOPLE!"
The shepards pie looks about right.
Chunks ofdly enough remind me of White castles its a burger chain, puts its sliders and everything else in dmall boxes
I always thought they were based on that astronaut ice cream you can buy at science museums and the like.
It always bothered me that the packaging design for Chunks was so bad. Think about it: the food itself is a well-designed cube for easy storage, but the foil packaging is twice the size it needs to be and makes impossible to stack them efficiently.
The name "Chunks" hints at junk food. It's just the generic Starfield version of our modern fast food. Bethesda did something similar in Fallout with Nuka Cola. It was the Fallout version of unhealthy synthetic soft drinks that nobody knows what they are made of. Keeping the ingredients secret is essential for low value, unhealthy, synthetic junk food.
This dude reminds me on that apple guy who did fallout lore forget his name
Thenthapple
I really just want some chunks to eat, they look so gooooodd
Shattered Chucks DLC confirmed
Chunks! Chunks! Chunks!
Its people. Soylent Chunks is people. 🤣
Chunks DLC? On a new Chunks shaped moon? Chunks land? :P
If you go to the Well from the Lodge entrance, there is a box of Chunks special sauce on a table covered in what looks like blood. I just assumed that Chunks was made from "bologna-sed" people.
Chunks probably are just a tofu equivalent turned into fast food/space travel convenient food with indefinite shelf life. Soybeans wouldnt be that hard to grow comparatively, especially with more widespread hydroponics. Given the commercial arena of starfield, you could probably buy large amounts of land on mulitple planets with suitable enough conditions without too many hiccups outside of random alien creatures, or pirates as a worst case. Of the settled systems its also the only fast food joint i can think of, so easy monopoly.
Chunks give off that iguana bits or squirrel on a stick vibe from fallout games. Im sure its just supposed to be a flavored "nutrient" cube so it might not be anything sketchy at all but who knows since the factories and corporate buildings seem to be non-existent in the game. It also could be a hidden subsidiary of another corp like xenofresh.
Look in the basement under the lodge by the back door to the well you will find a table with a special chunks product this may answer some questions
@@Dino2GunZ I think I've seen the place your talking about but I didn't notice anything chunks related. I just started ng+ so I'll have to check it out.
@@sleepingwolf2890 you can't miss it it looks like it's on a butcher's table table is covered in blood
CHUNKS IS MADE OF PEOPLE!
I been collecting all Chuck's lol pack not pack and there is alot of them haha I really love finding new ones when exploring 😮. I know there is a machine that has Chunka but I prefer to find them.
Chunks is Mc Donald's right or taco bell! I never read the books in the game, I have all you good folks on TH-cam for that! I always wondered about this- thanks for the intel now i know-, Peace
Idk if it would give any further hints towards a possible dark secret for the Chunks corporation, but under the Lodge in New Atlantis there's an entrance to The Well that leads through a small sewer area into a room with either blood or Chunks Sauce splattered across a table, with the door leading beyond that inaccessible.
It's entirely possible that this area is for a story mission I've just not done yet, but I figured I'd mention it anyways.
I think it's a special set up from Bethesda you remember the squirrel bits in Fallout do you ever remember seeing a squirrel they were human meat I think Bethesda was doing the same thing with chunks
@@Dino2GunZ considering there are squirrel on a stick food items in Fallout 3, I'd say squirrel bits also came from squitrels.
Strange Meat on the otherhand? That comes from humans. It's often found in the inventories of Leather Armored Hunters(there are two types of Hunter npcs, ones that wear leather armor, and ones that wear wasteland settler outfits). In the town of Andale there's a shack out behined one house and a basement beneath another. In both locations, you can not only find Strange Meat, you'll also find human remains.
@GBRyker61 it's the same thing I think fudge Muppet or maybe oxhorn did a vid explaining the lore it's all human meat
I had a question back then, how to eat those? Looking at the block, it is quite big. I would say it is comparatively as big as a BLT sandwich made from two loaves. They're not bite sized. And when I'm looking the customers at the new homestead branch, none of them eating any Chunks. One person eating a literal sandwich, in a Chunks restaurant.
Also, you said square for packaging efficiency. But the package cannot be said to be easily stacked on top of each other. Even when i think it maybe L shape like in tetris, it still has some gap at the center if you try to stack two Ls by rotating the other one.
So what if they packaged when arrives at the branch restaurant.
If it is the case, i also do not think those cubes are able to withstand a lot of weight on top of it without the package. Just imagine that one with the egg.
Unless,
A. They transported as liquids. Heated to remove the water content, then add toppings, packaged.
B. Or bulk solids. Add water, toppings, packaged when arrives.
If they still consider packaging ergonomics.
We need a expanded DLC dedicated to a Chunks backstory !!
Reminds me of those "Food cubes" in Star Trek the Original Series.
Imo it’s probably similar to what Warhammer 40k calls “Soylens Varidian”, a tasteless texture less nutrient/food paste that is made from all imaginable sources of organic matter. Given that food is likely pretty scarce (given the high prices of fresh foods), that is the most reasonable option
but then again its not called corpse starch for a reason
@@insert_name_here6487 Those are dangerous thoughts, Citizen. Return at once, forthwith, to thy backbreaking labour and cease your heresy before I summon the Arbites. :^)
Soylent Green is people
As a person who inhales food food sustenance, i bet chunks are delicious
I’m honestly shocked the video was a lead up to…. nothing. I fully expected you to say it was a soylent green situation at any given moment.
Chunks is what that is leftover of people when sam is finish with them
Maybe Chunks is a reference to Square Eats, the cubic meal in real life. Yes, you can buy these different flavored food just like chunks in real life right now for $10 per meal. The real life cubic meals works exactly the same as in game Chunks. You receive shipment of these cubes in vacuum packaging and heat them up with whatever means available to you and enjoy them.
I never tried it myself but its taste seems decent according to online reviews.
Damn thanks for the info, it literally is RL chunks-
How do we know its not a version of Soylent Green😂
I wonder what would happen if you drop an opened chunk on a radioactive planet 🤔
You know there is one inspiration that people are kinda missing in the comments. See back in the original star trek run with spock, kirk, and the rest of the original enterprise crew, they didn't eat normal food. What they consumed on the ship that was created by their replicators were large square cubes that had varying colors of red, blue, and yellow. Seems to me that Starfield simply took that idea and took the next step by making the cubes look like actual food and if that is the case, the chunks could be created from a very primitive form of the replicator. That being a protein sequencer that breaks down waste, table scraps, and literal garbage to their base proteins and resequences them into something new. Which could fit with the idea that the chunks are unhealthy because they are made from literal garbage.
Don't think they are made by replicators. Met a worker that said he had worked in the chunks kitchens and had still nightmares from it.
True, but again I'm not saying they have a replicator. I'm saying that they have some massive processing machine that breaks trash down into base proteins to turn into chunks. Which actually might a nice reference to snowblind where roaches (and worse In the books( I wont tell you why off the bat but there is a reason why their brown)) were turned into protein blocks for the poorer sections of the train.@@seanthiar
I should point out that you dont actually ever see chickens in starfield. So where do they get it for the chicken chunks?

You see that food in starfield. They have Squared foods. Squared. Foods.
Look under the lodge by the door to the well you will find a table covered in blood and a special chunks product on the table
You should be glad Chunks hasnt found a way to make gummy shotgun shells with each pellet containing hard liquor that gets injected into your veins.
Chunks is ur ultra healthy and super recommended source of nutrients… they just happen to have a massive lobby groups and politicians in their pocket, and r basically made of things equivalent to aspartame, atrazine, microplastics, corn syrup, soybean oil and other oils getting in food in the real world… but it’s totally fine “don’t ask, don’t tell”
