Vampire Feeding information and tricks

[Chibi Life]

I made a thread about this a few days ago but I didn't have my facts straight so I deleted it. Now I've paid close attention:

It provides a debuff to how much a person likes you on the social tab. This debuff caps at 75 and will not go any higher. Prolonged time of not feeding off that person will slowly drop the debuff, it is not permanent but it will take a long time to slowly decay.

The debuff capped at 75 seems to be relatively moot if your character already has a good relation built with the person you will not see a loss in the total relationship that is meaningful, you will remain in the green regardsless if your vampire is pre-disposed to getting along well with that person. If they do NOT get along, try not to damage the relationship further by feeding as it will be a significant impact.

Feeding twice in a row on someone without any initial blood loss will knock them unconscious. This means you can use this to shut down someone who is having a particular mental break that you don't want to deal with at the time, such as insulting spree when everyone is already on edge, raid incoming fast, tantrum targeting expensive stuff etc.

After you feed them unconscious, give them a blood transfusion and they will recover completely with no side effects.

So, in short, it's 'okay' to use feeding to shut down problematic mental breaks if your vampire gets along very well with that person as the social impact maximum of 75 should not cause detrimental damage to your relation with that person and it decays over time. If your vampire is rivals or just doesn't seem to get along with someone, best not to do it.

My observations have been that a -75 feed debuff to a relationship with a person is enough drop it from 100 to between 50-65 meaning you're still well in the positive and further feeding cannot raise it above -75. It is a great alternative to punching someone out of their mental break.

Interesting :D Thanks for the tip.

Masochists seem to not care about being bitten either. If you care about social relationships set them as your feeder pawns.

I found this out mostly through having a masochist prisoner that I set as the blood feeding target. The previous happy meal had the relationship loss from "fed on me", the masochists's only debuff was the standard "holding me prisoner". It's likely a side effect of being immune to "harmed me" moodlets because... ya know, they like pain.
