GourmandBalance is a Vintage Story mod by SiiMeR. GourmandBalance reworks Gourmand's health scaling, limiting food-variety bonuses to 15 extra health at 1500 points.
Why this mod is worth installing
Use it if expanded food options make Gourmand grant excessive health. It is intended for servers that want a firm upper limit on the reward.
What GourmandBalance adds
GourmandBalance is a balance tweak and requires the Gourmand mod to work. It changes the relationship between accumulated food points and the extra health awarded by that system.
The adjustment prevents the bonus from continuing to grow without a meaningful ceiling when foods from other mods are added. Progression now tops out at 15 bonus health once the character reaches 1500 Gourmand points.
This keeps food variety useful while avoiding an inflated maximum health pool. The change is especially relevant to multiplayer servers where custom food content can otherwise push Gourmand far beyond its intended vanilla scale.
Capped Gourmand health progression
The screenshot explains why the adjustment is needed: without a cap, the extra health from Gourmand can keep rising. GourmandBalance sets the progression limit at 15 bonus health for 1500 points.
