what hunger level should I try to stay at?

Postby Leadpainter » Sun Dec 29, 2024 9:42 am

what is the optimal level of hunger to try to play around (as a hermit)? I'm at 150% food efficiency at this point and I'm not sure if I should let it deplete or just eat and try to maintain 100% (i'm aware that the higher levels deplete faster but it seems like there is an equilibrium to be struck)

Most of my feps are consumed at 150% as you need to go lower to receive hunger quest rewards and its about where i'd end up after a day between feasts

If you're an autistic tryhard you quest for hunger at around 130% or 140% and eat infinitely. Very cringe system/behavior, but luckily nearly nobody is doing that.

For everybody else just ignore your hunger bar. In previous systems you were hurting yourself if your hunger got too low, and I think a lot of people feel apprehensive about eating because of that memory, but in this system if anything it's a sign you're doing the right thing.

I'd add that because of the way hunger/satiations work, it's better to feast in smaller amounts more often. EX: eating 100 pieces of food once per week is A LOT less efficient than eating the same amount of food over the week every few hours. It's kindof just personal preference, but I'd suggest making about a week's worth of food (decide how much a week's worth of food is based on how much fun you're having), and then try to take and even portion of it to eat real quick every time you login. Remember to eat for your lower stats first so they benefit from the higher hunger at the beginning of the feast.

Hi,

Should I smoke before eating? Also,

Is it better to eat 5 small foods to gain 1 level, foods that give 9 FEP/Hunger
OR
to eat 1 big food to give you a level where the FEP/Hunger was 7?
