Hunger Modifier on tables incorrect

[DeadlyPencil]

i think i came across a really bad problem that people could exploit if they know how to do the opposite of what iam doing.

this is hard to describe but i will try

i lit a bonfire with a high charisma character, i then sat that character down and had another character also sit down.
we have a really good hq table, it has a hunger modifier of 14%
we have a trash table, it has a hunger modifier of 11%.

k so thats with 2 people. it doesn't matter who sits where, same % for both tables no mater who sits down. It is very odd that the good table has 14% while the crappy table is less.


i then sit a 3rd person down.

good table is now at 12% (+2%)
trash table #1 is now at 13% (-2%)
trash table #2 is at 12%

then sit a 3th person down
good table is now at 12% (same)
trash table #1 is at 13% (same)
trash table #2 is at 12% (same)
trash table #3 is at 12% (new)

then sit a 4th person down
good table is now at 12% (same)
trash table #1 is at 15% (-2%)
trash table #2 is at 15% (-3%)
trash table #3 is at 15% (-3%)
trash table #4 is at 15% (new)

then it gets weird

5th person LEAVES
good table is now at 12%
trash table #1 is at 17% (-2%)
trash table #2 is at 16% (-1%)
trash table #4 is at 17% (-2%)


ya... something is F'd up how did my trash table go from 11% no matter who sits in it with 2 people, go from 11% all the way up to 17% with more people sitting down?

i have heard of people with super low tables, i worry that they actually know why the trash table has a lower % then the good table and can exploit it.

Each person near bonfire gives % of his symbel to every other table. The more people you sit the more cha each of them needs to give the same % of the table. So when you sit only 2 chars with high cha, they give more than 100% of their symbel to other table. Bad table receives more hunger effeciency. When you sit 3rd person down with low cha(I assume that's the case) the hunger will go up since 2 first characters have the same cha as before but there are 3 people feasting now so they each give less % of their tables. I'm not sure what you consider a bug here...

well read the last situation. the tables didn't go back to what they were before prior to the guy sitting down. they got even worse.

if your trying to tell me thats working as intended.....

thanks though for explaining the first part, that does match what i saw happening. i actually didn't realize bonfires worked like that.

Not sure. Will try to look at the math, but am also considering food values more generally.
