• Adds encumbrance in the following locations: left foot : 10, right foot : 10, if the location is covered by clothing lacking the OVERSIZE flag.
• This can keep a character at "Full" and "Slaked" constantly. Soil is also perfectly healthy, so your health measure (the one represented by your wakeup messages like "Alertness comes easy, and your body stretches with ease", etc) will improve to maximum reasonably quickly.
• The description sounds quite similar to Roots. Rooter yields nutrition much more quickly than Roots, and Rooter gives nutrition while crafting, while working on vehicles, etc.
• Eating soil means you can only eat with shoes off. In winter, it can be difficult to get nutrition without also getting frostbite.
• You can still drink clean water the old-fashioned way, by mouth.
• V8 is still extremely nutritious and gives no negative effects.
