Cravings

[linkfanpc]

Every day, you get a new craving for a certain food, like satiations. What they do is set it at 100% (Maybe even 125%) for the day, and cannot go up or down. Eventually it goes away and returns to the satiation it was at before.

For instance, you have a 80% satiation for meat, then one day you have a craving for meat, and the meat satiation is set to 100-125% for the day. The next day, the meat goes back to 80% and vegetables get set to 100-125%.

Maybe the effect goes away after eating enough of that food, and you need to wait until the next day for a new craving.

Just an idea i had a while ago and never got around to making a topic about. You tell me how it sounds and any ideas you have for it.

cool for casual nabs, but the upper echelon of haven society have no need for bonuses; their bonii are already at 125% constantly.

Its a great idea, but i think the implementation you're suggesting wouldnt be effective. perhaps if cravings effected some other aspect of feasting, such as hunger reduction

Yeah, you're right. Maybe that particular food is immune to any change from hunger? Or, at least, aren't as de-buffed by it.

that's a good idea. all craved foods receive the 300% ravenous bonus. that would really help out the common nab. again, the upper echelon wont benefit from this as much, but fuck em'.

I remember jorb/loftar actually considering this in the past, and I think this wouldn't be too bad to implement.

While it's a neat idea, I feel like we're also approaching territory where what determines FEP bonuses consists of so many systems it's almost as overwhelming as the combat system to a new player. I mean, variety bonus, satiations, hunger, (not quality anymore). I like the idea in concept, though, having it change every in-game day would make sense. We need more interaction between food types in general, as well, though.

I agree that there is a distinct risk of overcomplexity, where a fair bit of that complexity doesn't really pull its weight in terms of added variance and differentiation.
