Energy and Hunger should be linked

Postby DaewenWinter » Sun Oct 11, 2015 7:17 pm

When I eat, naturally, my hunger meter fills. And when I regain stamina or health, it reduces my energy. That also makes sense. However, when I work hard (mining, digging, plowing) and refill my stamina by drinking water my hunger stays way up, so I can end up starving and being stuffed or worse at the same time. This does NOT make sense, and it is very gamebreaking as it seemingly has no ingame solution, apart from sitting on a chair for hours on end, letting hunger go down.

As far as I've been able to tell, the food efficacy decrease from being in high hunger states (It should also be renamed somehow, as it sounds odd for hunger to go up when you're full) also reduce the amount of energy regained from eating, which of course does nothing to help the problem, when you then have to eat more food to refill the same amount of energy, further worsening the hunger issue.

I've only once gone up into the "Full" stage of the hunger bar. Stop eating filling foods like berries and forageables, or only eat when your energy is low, and don't run all the time. You're better off eating half as often at 100% efficacy than eating twice as much at 50%. Don't waste food, there are starving alts in Noobistan.

The system exists to stop people from power leveling alts by force-feeding them any and all food and then doing high stamina drain activites, like hand plowing one tile over and over and then drinking q10 water until starving.

The best thing about it is that I've never gotten overstuffed and forced to crawl speed because I misjudged how much that last food item would fill my bar.

The hunger bar only effects FEP gain.

I've bugged jorb to rename it to "gluttony bar" or something similar in the past to differentiate things a bit. It is odd you can be both overstuffed and starving.

you are not starving

you are "out of energy"

how you think, would be able to chop trees all day, if you have full table of food irl ?
at some point, you counldn't eat anymore
but you will have no energy to work too
