Something I think might improve the gameplay, give the player something else to manage.
Food
Like your slimes, you need food as well. Raw fruits and vegetables can be eaten, but chickens and some plorts need to be cooked at your Ranch house before consumption. Cooked food confers a greater increase to the food stat, but requires you to return home.
To eat food in the field, simply elect one in your vacpac slots, and hit E
Having a full Food bar allows you to regenerate health quicker.
Water
Your need for water can be satisfied by sucking up water from ponds and oceans with the vacpac and consuming it the same way as food, or by going home and making fruit/vegetable smoothies. Eating Fruits also restores a bit of water as well.
Sleep
Sleep is required to stay healthy and alert on the Far Far Range. At least 6 hours of sleep is optimal. Missing out on sleep could make you run slower, or have to frequently stop to Yawn, or even make you hallucinate.
Cooking
When entering your home, you can now access your inventory in order to prepare delicious food and beverages. Foods like Chickens and Plorts must be cooked at home before being consumed. You can also make vegetables and fruits into salads and smoothies. Cooked/prepared foods restore a great deal more of the Food bar than eating raw fruit and vegetables.
