Remove hunger

Post by Potjeh »

Now that satiations decay with time we basically have two mechanics doing the exact same thing - timegating stat gain. Why complicate things, let's just cut out hunger altogether. Satiations are better because you can just gobble all the roasted crickets you want for your energy needs and you'll just ruin your Creepies & Crawlies and your real food will be unaffected. No more need for ground leveling alts.

Maybe slow down satiations decay to balance hunger removal. Though there's the problem that this would be a huge buff to alcohol, so there'd need to be more limits on how much you can drink.

So replace hunger with thirst?

What will symbel do in new system? Reduce satiation?

Yes. The big difference is you don't need to drink to regain energy. And symbel can reduce chances for satiation debuff to proc. Questgivers can give random satiation buffs. And I guess if you don't like thirst timegates drinks can give wounds ¦]

Having reached 50% food efficiency from building stuff... yes, doesn't seem to be a good mechanic currently.

I guess without no lifing it would work somewhat reasonable though.

Agreed current system just encourages alts for doing dirty work.

I agree, hunger level is stupid and useleess. Reason #1 for alts.

I think we've all be railing against hunger due to the penalty to hard workers for a while now. I remember this issue when I was last playing, and that was a long time ago.
