I mentioned in an earlier thread on stomach clearing on death that I knew synthsteak's effects are lasting through death (where brandy doesn't) and I wanted to try a few other non-ham buff/non-stackable foods and see what they currently do. This isn't a scientific test, nor comprehensivs - just grabbed a bunch of things i could get in "sample" size and performed the following test:
1) ate food
2) asked friend to kill me
3) cloned
4) tried to eat another dose
results (lasts through death [Yes/No]):
Known Before Testing:
Synthsteak - Yes
Vasarian Brandy - No
Tested Today:
Pyollian Cake - Yes
Travel Biscuits - Yes
Veghash - Yes
Air Cake - Yes
Any other data on other foods is more then welcome. I've gone on the assumption that if I can't take more then the effect is still working. This IS the case with synthsteak and it seems the case with ttravel biscuits, but I can't really reliably test the others inside the time frame I'm working with. In ALL cases the icons related to the food buff cleared on death even though there were 6-10mins left over on their usage effects.

Hmm, interesting. I'm thinking there are two options:
1) The food's effects are still active after cloning until you hit their original end point (x attacks for synthsteak, timer for veghash & travel biscuits).
2) The food's effects are not active, but the "flag" on your character indicating you are already under the effect of a food doesn't get cleared at the same time as the bonus.
Next step would be to see if you get the effects of the food after cloning. Damage reduction with synthsteak, harv increase with veghash, xp bonus with ormachek should be straightforward to check. Things like Pyllian Cake and Air Cake would be harder, since there's nowhere to check the bonus.
I think my character is going to be feeling a bit suicidal tonight...

I do see the workings of synthsteak after death
I did this in anchorhead with hills and I *think* the thrave biscuits worked although I didn't bust out a stopwatch or anything.
Not sure really how to test the other foods.
One thing I forgot to do is look on my skills sheet to see if any of the modifiers were listed there and when.

Jawa beer lasts after death and the mod shows on the skill sheet.
