Problem with FEP (stopped getting any)

The worst monsters in the Hearthlands warp the fabric of space and time...

Stickied thread because literally zero in-game explanation

Maybe this should be obvious, but when you play this game for years you start taking certain pieces of knowledge as granted.

To "eat at a table"
1) Sit in a chair that is facing the table.
2) Right-click the table.
3) Click the "feast" button on the table UI (if it does not appear, your chair and table are not aligned.)
4) Your cursor should turn into a "fork" and you can now left-click the food pieces in the table inventory to consume them, granting you:
-Energy (same amount if you would right click -eat)
-FEPs (increased by the "Food event bonus" -percentage)
-Hunger (decreased to the "hunger modifier" -percentage)

Hunger is very misleading term as the whole has nothing to do with starvation, you gain it in response to eating food, and it's a bad thing because it reduces your FEP efficiency. This is the whole reason for this convoluted mess, it used to be mandatory to have labor alts to not ruin your FEPs. Now you can just slave away and eat any crap as long as you are under 8000%. (Gaining neither FEPs or Hunger.)

I've been pressing the feast button since 2011 :|

That's not true - something changed this week. This problem didn't exist a couple of days ago

Was your energy over 8000% a couple days ago?

It could be a client issue not updating the UI correctly, please try other client.

if it still doesn't work correctly, you may aswell quit the game until the next world when devs will be active for a month or 2

I noticed this is the Steam client? Can you try the vanilla standalone? Maybe Steam has some hand in passing data indirectly and it's getting crossed-up?

The wound should be pretty visible in any client in the wounds tab
