Candy Cane

Candy Cane is a Fine Food item that can be consumed by the player or given to NPCs. When eaten by the player, it grants +15% Movement Speed for 5 minutes. When consumed by NPCs, it provides 20% Happiness, making it useful for improving settlement satisfaction as well as for personal mobility.

Like other food items, Candy Cane has a spoilage time of 18 hours. It is also a limited-time item, so its availability is tied to a seasonal or event-based source rather than being part of the permanent food pool.

In practice, Candy Cane is a straightforward buff item with two distinct uses:

• Use it on yourself when extra speed is helpful for traveling, escaping danger, or moving between tasks more efficiently.
• Give it to NPCs if you want to raise happiness without using a stronger or more valuable food item.
• Because it is limited-time and spoils normally, it is best used before it expires rather than stored indefinitely.

Its combination of movement speed and NPC happiness makes it a flexible seasonal food item, especially useful in the early or mid game when any temporary boost can make a noticeable difference.
