I heard that criticism a few times. But I don't really know what to say about it because you actually don't need to collect any food at all in the cave. the passive food from robins little makeshift garden is enough.

huh… that would solve it, yeah. Not sure if I have any saves in that part to go back and check. My impression was that if I didn’t intersperse regular gameplay with foraging (so it was: main quest, foraging, main quest, foraging) so that the food from Robin was not enough actually, it was getting consumed still quicker than it was produced. I was hoping to at least get, say, two days in a row of advancing plot.
If you have double-checked and know for a fact it IS enough food maybe the issue is more conveyance regarding food mechanics? As in “it IS fine but because of how the game presents this information to the player, some people are not understanding that it’s fine”.
