Survival Hunger

[agerune]

although i like the hunger system, and think it add to the experience,
i have a few thoughts about some flaws and how to fix them.

1) dieing in your own base, and even worse your ship while afk is annoying.
2) dieing while your food tab is full of food is stupid.

solutions:

1) make hunger halt when in ship, and maybe even within colony certified rooms.
2) when hunger reach 0, automatically use food item if available in food tab.
3) when hunger bar reach 0 and there's no food in the food tab, make health get slow damage like you do from poison.
4) to improve (2) and (3), make two types of sound effects.
stomach rumbling when hunger bar reach its last bar/s.
and sounds of pain when it reaches 0 with no food in food bar, and you start taking slow damage.

any of these will be great.
all of them even better.

But then you can't teleport up to your ship while dying of hunger and immediately get your stuff back.

I agree with everything you said, the insta death from starvation is dumb as ♥♥♥♥, especially when you've got 60 baked potatoes in your pocket. Also what happened to ship customization? I mean it was even showcased in the launch trailer for ♥♥♥♥♥ sake!

sound like i accidentally solved another ridiculous thing with the hunger system.

people could just Teleport to ship and die on purpose to fill the food bar.

now if they reach the surface in time they will teleport to ship to GET SOME FOOD as it should be.

You are still losing 30 percent of your pixels.

Potatoes are really filling as far as foods go and not hard to grow. unlike other foods you can keep using more and more potatoes with no other ingrediant besides potatoes to raise thier tier.

Baked potato
Or 2x potato at kitchen equals mashed potatoes
2x mashed potatoes equals Potatoe grids when cooked at a stove

You can get into a bed or tent while you wait for your farm to grow too to stop hunger depletion. I'm where now even the planet's trees drop so much purple fruit. The ocean planets are full of so much food.

Its also good to collect lots of seeds for later to make lots of buff effect foods.

Heres a little cheat even if you play on multiplayer on survival. If you are out of food, deep underground. Log off, go to your single player world and eat the food stored on your ship there. As long as you were last on your ship in single player, you'll login up there. Then log back onto multiplayer with food and your full bar,

Works great when you need to dump a full inventory to grab more loot too.

yeah i should add:
3) when hunger bar reach 0 and there's no food in the food tab, make health get slow damage like you do from poison.
accompanied with sounds of pain.

How about something like a Crypod that can be placed in the ship specifically for going AFK? The player's health and hunger meter will lock until they leave.
Sometimes you gotta leave for something, but you don't want to end the server connection for your friends.

Thats what bed and tent's do.

yeah i didn't know about the hunger stop while sleeping in bed.
that's kinda solve the afk problem if you had the time to make your bed before you afk.

but that's not always the case.
sometimes you just gotta rush to a crying baby or food burning.
or get distracted by phone.

at least some if not all my suggestions will make the game better and should be implemented.

you still need to prepare and supply with food.
you still get to choose food for effects.
hunger is still an issue that drive you to experience the food system.
