Survival Hunger Rates
I want to like the survival edition but the hunger rates are a major drawback, hunger satisfaction drops at a ridiculous rate, I'm not using the nexus survival but the fully endorsed one that comes in creators club, it seems wrong that my character has to choke down a mountain of food each in game day just to avoid any negative effects, I've tried console command to speed up and slow down time scale but it's still between 6 and 10 meals per in game day, surely THAT would cause negative effects, I can't imagine anyone being willing or able to swing a warhammer or greatsword around 10lbs of meat and potatoes sloshing around in their gut from a light breakfast that isn't even going to carry them till lunch time before they have to scoff down half a mammoth just to avoid getting the rumblies. Has anyone found a solution for this like is there some console command that I'm just not finding that changes a multiplier or something to reduce the rates it drops?

yea, that's what I meant by the fully endorsed one not nexus, sorry should've been clearer.
If you get survival mods off nexus there are supplementary mods that allow you to make the hunger aspect more managable, can't say if they work with CC mod.

But this kind of thing is why I don't like survival mods/games, you spend more time worrying over the incidentals than playing the game.

i dont use survival mode in CC, but i did find a patch that fixes the hunger rates, along with other things:

This is an old thread, but I did find the console commands for hunger rate.

To see your current hunger rate type:
show Survival_HungerNeedRate

To change your hunger rate type this, with a number in place of "X":
set Survival_HungerNeedRate to X

The default hunger rate is 10, the bigger the number, the fast you'll get hungry. Changing the rate is not permanent unfortunately, you have to type the change hunger rate console command each time you boot the game.

BTW, if you notice, your character is constantly running, down paths, up hills etc, with a full armor set, multiple weapons and other stuff. That would make use very hungry

You can just change the timescale of the game, which is a permanent command, set it once at the start of your game is stays that way forever. Hunger and Sleep are tied to the timescale, it will go slower the lower the timescale goes.

The default timescale is 20, going to 10 will double the day length, and double the time required to eat and sleep. When altering the timescale, do not go below 6, too low will cause Issues after awhile.

The command for this is
Set Timescale to 10 (Or whatever number you want)

Survival mode does not scale with timescale.

Sleeping 1 hour if Timescale is set to 1 for example has you immediately starving.
