I am playing SS, RotC, and Horizon, and was curious how the food value system interacted with the donation system. I'm not sure how this works in vanilla survival, but in horizon the hunger restored by food is tied to its caps value. In RotC and SS it seems like each food item donated counts as a single point towards the settlements food needs. Is it therefore more efficient to save high value food items for yourself, and throw low value food (like pre-war food) at your settlements? Or does the game balance for the kind of food given?

Even in vanilla the value of food seems related to how much hunger it will satisfy. A deathclaw steak can get you from even starving to full. it would take many muttchops to do the same. As far as donating food: one of any food item counts as just one unit of food. More expensive/rare items don't get you any additional benefit. It's an easy choice if you've worked up a vast surplus. If, however, a new settlement is starving, and all you happen to have is cram, I wouldn't worry about spoiling them on the good stuff. They'll be just as happy when you switch them to back to an all gum drop diet.
