Hunger changes from stream

[sMartins]

I'd say .... Food for thought in here!

would be nice to know if a suggestion was taken note of from Jorb and Loftar.

I've been thinking that hunger (really should be renamed to appetite, insert Cato copypasta) should be made purely a catch-up mechanic. Something like if you join when someone already has 1k stats, you get something crazy like 99% hunger reduction at 10 highest attribute, decreasing as you start to catch up.

Problems with this are:

1. Alts get the same benefit as brand new characters (this is a crux of issue with most suggestions that try to even out the playing field between "hardcore" and "casual" crowds like stat caps.)

2. Unclear how table/symbel would be useful (to everyone who is NOT the world leader in stats) in this situation. Making symbel is a much needed sink for various high-end materials.

This seems to be the thread for hunger mechanic ideas so I'll pitch my 2cents worth here cause I don't wanna start yet another hunger thread and have it merged, make work for forum mods. Anyway.

Why not cap hunger at 100% and the only bonuses come from quests so you could get like 15% extra hunger pushing you into 115% hunger or something to that end. Lean more into individual dish satiations. Increase the satiation hit per consumption as well as increase the time it takes to return to baseline satiations. This would more or less force you to eat different foods. Unless I am missing something, so poke holes.

Hunger is supposed to be a catchup mechanic, as far as I have read, but all it seems to do now is force you to be VERY specific about what you eat/drink or risk being severely gimped which makes suiciding your character to start over with a better plan the best way. Sure there are other ways but at the end of the day its a whole lot of time wasted cause you ate food in a less than ideal way which is really silly to say.

"I didn't eat right in my game so now I am at a severe disadvantage."

The vast array of foods available v.s. the dishes actually eaten is pretty laughable.

Hunger changes were mentioned on stream. Hunger shouldn't be removed because being only limited by the variety of recipes available is dumb, infinite cooking bad.

1. Remove/limit salt consumption so hunger is an actual limitation for autists. Maybe change 300/200% bonus to 150/125% like an earlier thread since they're kinda retarded. Salt basically removed, very cool.
2. Make it so you gain 10% hunger when you raise a stat, 20% if you get a +2 fep (just random numbers), instead of current hunger, which unnecessarily punishes people that don't know the meta recipes. The limitations on stat gain should be based on the stats being gained. Might also make it so buying bad foods from noobs is more enticing since it's not overly punishing.
3. Make hunger increase less and/or regenerate faster the lower your stats are compared to the world leader. Muh catch-up
4. Make each stat have its own hunger bar, so gaining a random PSY fep doesn't screw over the feps you actually want. Also makes it so larpers that raise every stat aren't handicapping themselves even more.
5. Make pepper wound not do HHP damage, just make it a debuff that doesn't let you eat anymore spicy food. Noobs dying is funny but dying from eating is an instant quit

Edit: one more thing that could happen: Make each stat also have its own fep bar. Since they have separate maximums, raising one stat early in the game for some purpose doesn't handicap your character. (Not sure on this change, it would help miners, but miners deserve to suffer)

what are jorb & loftar waiting for?
