Remove Hunger and Thirst!

[Avantis]

It's so annoying. I want to play the game by exploring, fighting, leveling my skills, and building and furnishing my house, not NEEDING to feed myself every 5min! Let cooking be a skill solely to replenish HP and MP. Cooking itself is enjoyable but remove the Hunger and Thirst.

I dont think you understand what a "survival" game is

idk, at the same time games are supposed to be "fun"

I have no problem with depleting resources, but the rates need tuning WAY down, and/or eating needs to be sped up, or less restrictive to movement.

Last I checked you shouldn't have to eat 4 steaks and drink 4 glasses of water every five minutes to survive.

You also can't chop down 15 trees and process them all in 1/4th of a day.

I cant in game either..

Just like old RuneScape i spend a lot of time stuffing food in my mouth, running, or waiting for my stamina to come back so i can run again.

They really need to tune down the food and drink. I fully drink and in less then like 3 mins I am dehydrated.

I don't want it removed but you do have to eat and drink way too much imo...

[Exambient]

I believe this issue is more of someone who is afk. Hunger and thirst drain too quickly for the average afk player. It is a good idea to manage the player's health and stamina for a game mechanic stand-point, but sometimes we got to step away from the game to pee, ya-know?

I was thinking of playing this game, but these mechanics sound overtuned.

Since when was a game meant to be a chore? It's supposed to provide reasonable entertainment. Making 4 steaks and 4 glasses of water every five minutes is not reasonable entertainment. Chopping down 15 trees in half a day is reasonable entertainment.

Are all survival games supposed to be "ultra realistic survival every 5 minutes"...?

You're thinking too much "this is how the devs intended it to be played", and there's not enough "this is what players will pay for".

Imagine if the perfect brutal survival game came out, and devs were happy that they set a new benchmark in unfairness, and then later on they're confused when only 100 games have been sold.

You can if you use spells and line up the logs just right. :D

I found a hunger mod on Nexusmods that has 3 variants. One reduces hunger/thirst drain by 100%, one by 75% and the other variant 50%. I went for the 75% variant, and it's great, at least for me.

[💥ForkNBored™]

I would like to suggest an alteration of settings rather than a complete removal of a system.
Managing your Hunger/Hydration is a fundamental part of "Survival" games and therefore does fit and should be a part of the game-play, although the current settings are AWFUL!
I have to eat/drink WAY too often, this is in dire need of attention and fixing.

Literally their first patch buffed boiled water from +20 to +30 hydration.
