Hunger and Fence extensions

[Akhilleus]

Can someone explain Hunger in World 8 for me please?

I don't know how to see my hunger (or if it's energy) and I don't want to take starvation damage, but I also don't want to eat random junk.

Oh, also, I've been trying everything to extend this wall. I see the walls appear, I can drag them to see more, but I can't build them for some reason, what do?

Open your character sheet ( ctrl + t ) and you'll see the Hunger Bar in the first tab. There are multiple states and technically have names like Ravenous, Hungry, Full, etc. I only know them by their FEP %s. I hope you know what FEPs are, if you don't just ask. The hardest stage to get to, which takes over a week to return to, gives you 300% FEP gains. After that is 200%, then 100%, then 90%, then 50%, then 25%, etc. Raising out of 25% back up to 100% really only takes like an hour or two.

The only thing that effects hunger is time. Drinking water, burning energy, and burning stamina don't effect it.

You also have satiations. Satiations are based on the types of food that you've been eating and go down if you keep eating only one type of food then its effectiveness will drop and drop and drop. By eating a varied diet (such as meats, mushrooms, foragables, fish) you reset your satiations. Satiations do not appear to be tied to time.

So tl;dr eat food, lots of food, large varieties of food! The more varieties the better. Eat yourself down to 50% FEP gains and then let yourself go back to 100% FEP gains and eat some more.

Thank you, that completely answered my hunger question. As for fences... I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

Fences are super simple. They should be built on leveled land, so use the Survey Tool in Adventure -> Landscape -> Survey. Drag that to select the area and then select the height and click make level. It'll tell you how much dirt it'll dig up or how much dirt you need to fill in. After that build the initial cornerpost then right click it to get some options. Extending lets you build rows of simple, cheap walls that can also be used to extend or to build a new cornerpost. Otherwise you can prepare for a gate, which skips 2 tiles and then builds another cornerpost. You can then build a gate there. And that's it, that's all there is to fence building whether it's roundpoles, palisades, or brick.

Ah alright thank you, that was my issue. The ground wasn't levelled properly (though it looked like it was ) Thanks for the help!
