Hunger

[[Brizby]]

Hunger seems a little….demanding. I want to explore and figure things out but every couple min I have to down food. I’m out of organics and berries. I cooked what I had with what recipes I had, I spent the entire day looking for food then night came, went to bed, hunger bar is gone and I am back in this revolving loop of food sleep food sleep food sleep.

Does anyone else thing hunger drain seems a little to much? Or am I just a scrub gamer.

Try it with fishing

dont eat stuff raw if you can avoid it. even a salad is worth a bunch more. if your really stuck, you can eat biomass. fish is an easy answer, and time stops while you fish so you can gain quite alot. simple fish cooking can even be fish fillet + fish oil. gives you a patty without any other resources

edit: fishing also serves as a great extra resource collection. without bait you can get scrap and plastic as well as clams. this is 2 fold as plastic also makes a simple lure. this with clams means you rarely run out of fish as food and its dead easy to catch

I totally agree with you Hun. It seems to be never ending. You start to do something and then you have to go and make food or fish. I get a head of it sometimes, then bang, nothing left. It might get better s the game go along hopefully.

just go fish. while fishing hunger bar does not go down, and all you get from fishing is materials to make good foods. make a few stacks and you are good for days.

As others have stated fishing is the best option for accumulating a large quantity of food for little effort. Additionally, using the simple recipes to convert raw ingredients helps a lot as well i.e. blueberry jam, brightflower soup, and the salad mentioned previously. I do agree though that the hunger meter drains far too quickly throughout the day,

The speed at which it can drain makes the extra carry capacity buff from a full meter nigh on useless unless you have planned ahead every time you plan to utilize it.

yes indeed eatin goes down fast as i want it to carry more but full get back to base and bam have to eat more and yes i am eatin the good stuff for in fullness

Fishing is the best way, in fact, I hardly get any sleep. It's all thanks to Patty. You only need 2x Fish Filet and 1x Fish Oil, which can be obtained from the fish themselves.

while fishing is great and all it does not fix the problems source which is the fact that the hunger meter runs down WAY to fast, the decay rate should be cut down by easily half of what it is now.

I'm loving the game so far, might twitchy on the build system but its the hunger bar which is killing things lol

It's so easy to cheese it by fishing that I just turned it off. It just becomes an annoyance.

Completely agree. The decay rate is way too fast, especially for a relaxed survival game.

I think the raw consumption of food in the game is a bit off. Its nice not to have to deal with thirst but if I'm not fighting power then I'm fighting hunger. Dev's do we have any wiggle room here to improve this a bit?

[Kaery]

I have to admit, I basically stopped growing food in the midgame because I was getting more food through the wild growing bits than I could eat, I hadn't even gone fishing for a while there. Is there a mode that consumes less, because I only really had to watch my food bar during the earlygame and am a little confused why everyone seems to feel it goes down far too fast?

You should be able to eat anything that grows on the roof, blueberries, orange flowers, and the lettuce.... I didn't cool too much i just counted on those things to grow back and eat those.....

My personal head-canon is that the cyber-arm also has a highly advanced bioreactor inside of it.

The upside: a useful hand with built in tools.

The downsides: it's slowly killing you by devouring nutrients.

The solution: you must eat all the things, constantly.

It gets easier later in the game when you can make better food, but as others have said fish patties are going to be your main food source for quite a while. It's the easiest to mass produce with 0 initial resource cost (just your time and clicking).

I'm starting to suspect he has pinworms due to his constant hunger :p

[wildmick]

food is plentiful, haven't needed to make any gardens
