Vision keeps dimming?

[Savage]

My ape's vision keeps dimming but he has a full green circle? Any ideas?

Idk if its a glitch but as I said I have a full green circle. Meaning the three needs of sleep, water, and food are satisfied.

I am trying to figure out what the white streaky haze effect that sometimes obscures the screen means. I have had an almost full green circle when it appears.

I noticed this happening to one of my elder primates - wondering if its a aging thing.

^That's the conclusion I've reached - it's simulating your eyesight worsening as you age (think Glaucoma or cataracts).

Youd should get a doctor or vet to look at your ape if he got vision dimness and a green color. :P

The white haze isn't an aging thing. It happens on my adults all the time. I assumed it was a lighting glitch, but now I'm wondering if it's like a dry eye thing indicating early thirst or tired.

Also, I'm not sure need for sleep decreases the size of the green circle much. I'm pretty good about keeping it full and get the closing eyes thing when my ape has been active for quite a while.
I wish there was a way to bring up the 3 circles you get when you wake up in the morning so you'd know how low you are on each.

I usually just sleep, eat, and drink till I stop getting the yellow pulses in the circle that indicate improvment.

I get a black hazing that start on top and bottom of screen and start to merge to middle - then it goes a way. The white haze is something else.

^That's "sleepy".

The white haze is something else.

I never noticed it on my younger clan members - only started seeing it by year 5 or so.

I still think it's an age thing.

Just get to bed at night and perhaps swap your main monkey out for a different one.

The circle actually doesn't seem to take sleep into account, or if only very small.

Even if the circle seems full, your ape might be tired.

If you are unsure, just lie down and sleep for a second, then see how much sleep you need.

The help menu says the circle has nothing to do with sleep, food, water. It has everything to do with your hominids stamina.


My experience has been that:
Dimming, black bars at the top and bottom of the screen are tired. I read that the white flash may indicate hunger.

One sip won't quench thirst, one piece of fruit won't fill you up, and 30 seconds of sleep won't make you rested.

My indicator on if I've slept enough in game is that the dream images go away.
If I've drank enough, when the clan/tribe around me stop drinking, enough water has been consumed.
You can over eat and there is an indicator about that, meaning I've eaten enough.
