Crazy hunger

[Darkspear]

Hunger drops way to fast, even on easy. are there any way of fiddling somewhere to change that?
I like the challenge of building up so going creative mode is a no go, only went there to test how things work. But i dislike the hunger after 2 minutes

Difficulty doesn't change your hunger rate, it changes your feeding rate, as in food fills you up more.

im bathing in food, just build 2 simple grills and make a plot or fish. dead shark can feed you for 2 days

It's way too fast, because I can't cook fish to stash them without being hungry by the time they're done. That's not balanced at all.

I agree it's too fast. Adds pointless busywork to the game.

i think with 2+ people it is an issue but solo i am swiming in food. imo the dificulty curve sorta go's stage 1: nothing, oh ♥♥♥♥ scramble to get everything
stage 2: got basic stuff, i can eat and drink.
stage 3: get the good water purifier, game gets easy farms are a +
stage 4: get the grill, no longer need to use a ton of wood for cooking
stage 5: small time after just remember to eat. thats it.

with more than one player the easy part dont start untill you have the grill. but its mainly wood consumption.

Funny, I did the test last evening.
NEARELY filled (so please read very high but not fully lilled) my hunger bar (normal mode) and it lasted 15 minutes before I was needing to eat...

I don't know why peeps keep reporting the need to eat every 2 minutes, as this is very untrue.
What you need is GOOD food source (like fishes, or shark meat, or that annoying bird meat) and eat to fill your bar with 2-3 portions (normal mode again, it's more on hard), BUT you need to fill your bar... Then you are good to go.
DON'T DO : eat 1-2 potatoes / beets... indeed doing so, not only will use tons of wood early on, but also not really fill your food bar. Fishing is THE way to go. Small fishes for shark bait, and larger fishes for you.

Also build those ressource collectors, they do the job for you, so as long as you move, I find myself nearely out of work beside the shark attacks.

But in the start of the game you need to be PRO ACTIVE, and never let some dead moments fill your time.

Also AVOID sleeping. Sleeping for now in this game is useless, and still consume your hunger bar and thist bar. So use the night as well, instead of sleeping.

I don't think anyone is saying the Hunger mechanic is hard or challenging, just annoying.

it's annoying as long as you do it a certain way...
Now what's funny... this game has 2 challenges :
- food/water
- Shark

Still a lot of threads complain for one or the other. Both are anooying (somewhat, not that much to my personal pov)... so what do you recommand ? removing both ? Wohooo that's a game now. C'mon...

Eh... there's literally food everywhere. How can you have any trouble with hunger??

Hmm. i would like to bring this question up. I think, hunger drops too fast. I have played only in "Normal" mode. I mean, i don't have problem with food, but food gathering is eating too much time.

Lets say in early morning i fill myself with water and food 100%. And in the late evening it drops to warning level. That turns, that you cannot survive 24 game hours (1 day) without eating a few times, even when you eat up to 100%.

Is it some kind of bug? Or just a disbalance?

Please start a new topic if you want to discuss issues with current food balance. Information discussed in this topic is too outdated having been posted over year and half ago to be relevant to your current issues even if it discuses food balance (many balance changes and ton of content have been added since). Bringing up so outdated information only confuses people as most people don't check the post dates.

Locking topic.
