Game ended on Hunter difficulty??

[superware795]

I played through the game on Survivor a couple of times and recently started a Hunter playthrough, I slept in a shelter with 7/9 food, went up to O karma out of I, having seen one of the philosophical magic squid people, randomly entered what the wiki calls "Starvation mode" for seemingly no reason, died because a lizard dropped on me while I couldn't move, the game started displaying statistics and now I can't reenter the file and its place is replaced by a pic of a dead Slugcat and the option to restart the game.

Does anyone know why this happened or what I can do to stop it? Since I can't seem to find anything about it on the wiki and God forbid the game tell me what's going on

The Hunter is supposed to have limited cycles to survive, once it hits 0 and you die it's permadeath, which is intended. It's a "do what you can and get to the end before times up" challenge mode.

On Hunter, if you hold the map button it will tell you there how many cycles you have left. It's intended that you only have 18 cycles before permadeath as mentioned above. If you want to stop it though, there is a mod you can get from RainDB.

Hunter isn't merely a hardmode, but also a "do as much as you can in what limited time you have" mode. Obviously not everyone will agree with this, which is why a mod was made. I use it on and off depending on what kind of run I'm gonna do. I like having limited cycles sometimes, but usually I enjoy messing around with infinite cycles as hunter.

Thanks for letting me know guys, I'll probably try installing that mod since Hunter mode is so much more fun.
