Hunger Meter

[Pugzilla83]

I hope in a future update that the developer will change how the hunger meter works. I am hoping they will either give us an option to turn it off, have an option where the hunger meter consumes less or more (depending on playstyle), or change how it works entirely where you get buffs depending on what you eat.

For me it's annoying but not to the point where i won't play the game. Anyone else feel the same way or have any better ideas?

i don't cause i am a fishing addict.

when i set up a drilling rig i fish nearby and grow food at the same time. with a pot, repair station and soem scrap in my inv.

so huge stacks of food, of every single stat combination possible are pretty common in my worlds.

the easiest i think is to set up a sprinkler system growing plot of plant A and then again for plant B, and then cook them together to make stacks of food. the scarlet garden hoe is easy enough to pull up those plants quickly without removing the sprinkler, and replanting is a breeze when you don't have to water it all by hand.

find the thorn ring from azeos wilderness and farmer hat, and now your harvests are bountiful. set a few cooking pots to keep the production high, as you'll probably outgrow what you can cook if the plots are large enough, which is good. then every time you go back to base you grab a stack of food from the large agriculture you got.

doing it this way, you have to shut down your farms after a while - because it takes literal irl days of use to get through a stack of 999 food.

and when you start running out, you just start up the cycle again.

There is some gear that reduces the amount of hunger you burn walking.

I find the hunger meter to just be annoying. Like OK TIME TO EAT, why? What's it adding?

It's just a mechanic, very common for survival/exploration games. It gives an additional layer of recource management and makes the game a bit more challenging. Nothing wrong with that.

I want an option to turn off hunger in world creation. Right now it is tedious and annoying. There is no way to increase how long you can go before you have to eat nor is there a pause in the hunger if you're full like there should be. The hunger mechanic is the only thing I don't like about this game.

Hmm..... In my case. My character been snacking mushroom and beating up mushroom enemy early on. That was just me being a newbie during that time.

Since I more familiar with how to get the food now. If I were play back to square 1 again early game again.

You will see me doing cooking relate to fish with mushroom and spending times gather any seed from monster/wild plant to build big farm again.

that's a great idea, maybe if enough people request it they will add it

OMG, I didn't even look at the dates, lol. It was one of the top posts so figured it was fairly recent. Didn't mean to necro it. Sorry.

More options always > less options.

Well before the mods lock it, I'd like to apologize for my attitude in my initial post.

Sorry about that, mate.

no worries, since the 1.0 release (i stopped playing till 1.0 after i did this post), i made this huge farm with every crop (it's so big that by the time i harvest the last crop i can harvest all over again) and mostly use salad

[Lordofd]

Interesting. I use food all the time so I am never hungry unless I am sorting or building.
