Uses
Coffee is useful for Rope Climbing by restoring fatigue, since fatigue affects climbing speed and climbing at low fatigue is dangerous. However, climbing is the only action which coffee does not reduce the rate of fatigue drain through Fatigue Reduced.
Another application of coffee is to restore carry capacity, which is diminished below 50% Fatigue (slowing movement). One cup of coffee restores 10% of Fatigue. At 0% Fatigue Condition is drained, so drinking coffee would temporarily avoid this damage.
Other items which restore fatigue, such as the Emergency Stim and Go! Energy Drink, are rare. Additionally, these items have other uses, side effects, or may not be obtainable on all difficulty settings. It is advisable to save coffee for more specialized uses and use other hot beverages, such as Birch Bark Tea or canned food, to obtain Warming Up.
