how to adjust hunger/thirst level?

[MAC-TEM]

Hosting server for my friends. I can adjust some things in there but there is nothing for hunger or thirst. Is there a command I can add?

[MonkeyEmperor]

just get some XP and put it into The Camel and The Survivor perks. Job Done

Don't worry about it for a hosted server.

Hunger and thirst are not really an issue after about day 3 for an average player. I certainly would not waste skill points on Camel and Survivor as suggested above.

So basically is there a way to remove one of the core parts of the game?

Lengthened the days, feels stupid having to eat all the time. Just wanted to adjust it accordingly: double day, half hunger and thirst.

AFAIK it's hard-coded at the moment (with plans to be in an xml SOON TM)

One way around it is to change the amount of hunger/thirst replenished (items.xml)

So for instance, as you've doubled the day length, you could double the values for Charred Meat from-

<property name="Gain_food" value="10" />
<property name="Gain_water" value="-5" />

to

<property name="Gain_food" value="20" />
<property name="Gain_water" value="-10" />

Ah yeah that makes sense. A bit less convenient, but sounds like it'll do it.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Animals seem to travel in groups, I went hunting outside my house at 6% hunger. I killed 3 pigs and a deer before coming back to cook and nearly taking damage from starving. Deer down with a sneak attacked stone arrow, 1 pig with arrow, 2 pigs with a barbed club...
Once you get used to it it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

I have friends that refuse to play because of the constant need for eating and drinking. In real life a person can go 30 days no food, 7 days no water. I got its a game but at least make the food and drink I have last longer than an hour in game before im on the brink of death.

In this game you have to eat 2 boars and 50 eggs daily and drink 5 gallons of water. Nice necro of 8 years by the way lol.

Technically it's still relevant, even 8 years later. Afaik there's still no option to mess with hunger/thirst directly, you gotta mod .xmls to increase the gain of food/water as a workaround.
