Exhaustion Feedback

[Chef_uk]

Time to recover is far too long is my immediate thoughts. I have no interest for smoking in a game regardless of how "beneficial" it is meant to be so there needs to be an alternative to speed it up that's as easily accessible as finding cigarettes.

As a mechanic in itself, I like that it exists but feel it could have been done a number of different ways that would avoid the negatives that this specific way has introduced. For one, it plays into the Alt account players. They will just switch accounts to combat it. Secondly, it keeps players inside their bases for even longer which feels counter-intuitive when you keep bringing out new POIs for players to visit.

What are people recovering from? Is your stamina actually not reaching max? I see the C1 and C2 exhaustion but there’s no stamina penalty for me so it doesn’t even look like it works.

Really, it's a disaster. A watermelon gives 40 ae an hour, a cigarette 11 ae an hour. Rest 6 ae per hour. In numbers, fatigue is reduced, but the red bar is still growing. I assume that you need to reach 0 ae so that the red bar begins to decrease. Or is it a bug. When I eat or rest, it switches to a green strip, but at the end it still turns out to be a red increased bar.

Keep in mind the exhaustion state is a buffer against the onset of fatigue symptoms.
Previous to this you simply lost the stam along the way.

This is a DRAMATIC improvement from before.
Like I'm failing to see a problem at all with this. Just play the game normally and make sure you log out in a bed and its all good.

It's just another pointless 'feature', the devs cant make up their mind whether they want a realistic survival simulator or a cookie cutter arcade game. They have 'realism' with making your character get tired and need rest, and then they have arcade nonsense with lockpicking where if you put a pick into a lock and dont move it, it mysteriously breaks after afew seconds for no reason and with no pressure being applied, absolutely zero realism there.

The problem I’m seeing is I don’t need to logout in a bed or even lie down anymore. It doesn’t appear to work.

You also get a large amount of exhaustion recovery if you eat food, if you cook your food you will get more as well and bigger bonuses if the quality of the food is better. We might tweak in the future.

I see a clear difference

Maybe it’s the buffer. I’m seeing a little fatigue now.

You literally have to play the game for 10 hours straight and run the whole time for it to decrease like 1%. It's the most pointless feature as it has zero affect on gameplay. I have it enabled and I've never had any issues.

Playing singleplayer? Exhaustion doesn't work in singleplayer, so there's no affect at all.

[PepsiMontana]

I like the idea. Its not normal you can run arround with 4 riffles and heavy armor. But mayby
nerf time to recover

It's working fine in my opinion.
After 3 hours hard work, only running (have no vehicle) my toon is at the end of the C2 exhaustion bar (CON at 2.6)
Lay him to rest for 30 minutes (eating dinner irl or something) and he's good to go full throttle again for another 3 hours. So all good in my book.
I'm not even cooking in the game. Just living off the land and canned food.

It needs to be taken out completely. I cannot even believe people are okay with this feature to begin with. All it does is basically put a time limit on how long you play and if you play too long you're basically screwed. Why does it have to be a thing? I get that it's supposed to be "Realistic" but it's just annoying.

No, you aren't screwed and you aren't limited. Eat some cooked food, drink some tea, have a smoke and a break and you're good to go again.

Are you able to run, jump, shoot, carry a 60 kg backpack for unlimited time irl?
No? Didn't think so.

I was playing for a while NEW SPAWN (so no I can't make the 15 item needed food) I was chain smoking (got sick smoking 4 cigs in 2 rl time cause I am forced to to keep playing the game, when I was at -33% stamina, I was like "I am sorry I am playing your game so long let me just exit game and play another that will let me play it with out punishing me" all the time, I got over 800 hours in this game and know how it works but early game Exhaustion is just dumb, I know that game doesn't have game stages etc. but hey now I can make a glass shiv
