Stat loss? Devs?
I understand that dying without fame to respawn can result in a stat loss. But what else causes stat losses because I am positive fame and havent died in a while and yet I am still losing 1% Dex and Con stats per hour.

Anyone have any ideas for what is causing this?

It could be your overall health, vitamin/mineral deficiency or temporary wounds that caused the stat loss.

i would think you would have to do things that involve the skills in Dex. and Con.
Like stealth around zombies
and running past your characters breaking point for endurance

id listen to the dev of the game
for obvious reasons

Even after long periods of time without any injury or malnutrition my con and dex continue to go negative. Is it possibly a bug or working as intended?

i also noticed that the more you run around overgeared, the more stats you lose. This is kinda stupid as working yourself up should increase dex and con, not drop it.

From what I can gather through my playtime.Con and dex currently depend on storage fat being very low( less then 2.0kg) to be not going down. If it’s any higher then both of these stats will be going down.

Storage fat right now isn’t working the way reality works or muscle gain for that matter...so it’s very difficult and time consuming to lose storage fat. ( takes hours just to drop a kg or two) compared to the rate it goes on you when you are calorie positive regardless of your fat intake.

To lose storage fat currently you have to put your calories in the negative to go into a starving state phase 4. While eating high protein low fat food to keep protein in your system to prevent strength loss and muscle loss during this process.and water of course I’ll grab a few screens of what your metabolism screen should look like in a min a edit them in shortly after this post. So you’ll be eating the entire time but keepin your balance at about negative 3000.(-2000 and lower is stage 4 starving) your main fuel here will be bread, white flour( carb source so you don’t burn protein) and preferably canned tuna for its high protein content low fat content.

You’ll be doing good when your protein is at 1400% ,carbs @ 150% to 250% and fat lower then protein at around 1000%

So eating during this will look like this :You’ll want to eat some flour for the carbs then a can of tuna, then run tell that’s used up and your carbs start dropping. Keeping your cal balance around minus 2400 to 4000. And your stomach volume below 17%

You will find your max stamina reduces during this time so what you want to do here to get it back up is have your stomach above 17% bread works wonders here as it takes a while for you’re stomach to digest it getting your MSR(stamina regen) back up while pausing the starving state briefly enough to raise msr back up a % or so at time( you’ll understand when you see it happen) while still remaining negative cal balance

youll need to run around as well so I recommend doing laps around a body of water or close by to one so you don’t over heat. You can go as low a 0.0 kg storage...

I hate this backwards bugged out metabolism system

Edit: added screens

Rare as can be those loaves of salvation .. kitchens. Mostly microwaves I’ve found them in.( even though there’s a non functional bread box on every countertop on the island it seems microwaves are the spot to stash your bread)
