Stamina

[kindheart1527]

does it seem like it's abit out of wack, half a bar to lite a fire, or when you walk it deplets it, but when you stand still it depletes it also, i would think if your standing still it would replenish itself, also i dont understand the concept of making your own bed, you get leaches anyway, you can doze without a bed and get the same rest, why would that be, whats the advantage of a bed

[Version2]

Energy seems slightly off balance, the amount of food needed in a day should be matching up more with the amount of calories burned I.M.O. however, after watching people try to survive on an island, i noticed their energy definitely didn't go up from standing still. They need food.
I think the Bed helps restore more energy in less time. Making a bed that is off the ground (log bed) will help reduce the chances of getting worms. I do not recommend the hut shelter for anything other then saving the game.

[kindheart1527]

the problem i have noticed, though i may be wrong, the log bed is not readlity avaliable from the start, though you are correct about the bed gaining energy, but if you travel even the shortest of distance you will find yourself out of energy quickly, you can't make it through an entire day without running out of energy, chop a plant, cut bamboo, make a hut, dam you need to sleep almost 8 more hours, and wake with worms......lol

Do you not think that chopping trees, bamboo etc and trying to build shelters in a sweltering jungle wouldn't sap your energy?

Agreed that there are issues with balance within the game, but they will be corrected (hopefully) in future updates.

i agree with chopping bambo in the jungle reduces stamina, though i'm not sure you've ever chopped any there, and i can assure you i have.......like most places with high humity water is the main issure, not stamina. a normal person in the enviroment with water can work an entire day,

[Version2]

it is possible as of patch 1.5 to maintain max energy, for multiple days, without sleeping. Jaguar meat when cooked gives 15 energy. i think almost anything cooked will give a decent amount. as well as blue mushrooms found on large trees. i have camps stocked up on cassava soup for carbs and meat soup stored in coconut bidons. and i'll have a stack of caby meat on me if i want to spend a day or two exploring. There comes a point when energy/stamina isn't an issue.

Kinda strange how you lose health constantly in the game.... In normal or typical games it takes some outside issue to zap your health..... Here you have to eat 17 capy 44 bananas 200 fish and drink 600 gallons of water and your health will still constantly drain hahaha

[Virago]

Ok but how would you balance out the reduced calorie intake? I say that because it is obvious that then the game becomes easier.

[kindheart1527]

I'm not sure there is a balance calorie intake, example: when you eat 2 steaks in normal life that will take you through the entire day, and then some, in the game 2 steaks won't even light a fire if your in the red......i don't think there is a need for any major change, i think it just needs to be tweeked.....

[Virago]

I was answering to Jaglet. Personally i think it's pretty balanced and keeps you busy trying to mantain vitals.

[MrGiZzLe]

I think the same, to me it's totally okay. This is no simulation, it's a game people. Eating one steak and you're done, what you wanna do the rest of the time anyway? I mean where would be the challenge? You have to make some planing in this. So coming back to your camp/shelter you got some meat with you everytime. Light a fire, earn the fruits of the day, enjoy being a succesful hunter in the jungle. I like it.

The system is ok like this for now in general.
Can be tweaked a bit.
No need to throw it overboard.
At least not yet.
Have seen much worse in other games.

[Virago]

It will probably be revised as more dangers and activities will increase

[Drudge Jedd]

Have you ever tried starting a fire without a lighter? It's pretty draining.. however the more you get good at it the easier it gets... I think the game kinda nailed it on this aspect.

[Drudge Jedd]

hmm i think that the rarest food should have fat and that keeps the food bar from dropping as fast while the 2nd rarest food, protein, should slow the fat loss and increasing calorie intake increases the amount of protein you get from food. So it would work in layers, and as you gain more fat you don't need to feed yourself as much bcz your body has a resevoir of fuel ready to go, making the game more realistic and at least you could last at least more than 1 or 2 days realistically... also the fuller the bars the less likely of disease, more benefit from sleeping etc.

Also this would add to the game as well bcz the ill effects in the game would be that much more devastating. So certain ill effects could effect certain food values. Perhaps an event in the story would be getting caught by natives and being fed only hallucinagens, thus destroying all food values except calories :P

well standing does use energy irl ya know

Energy yes, but it still recovers stamina.
While you stand still in this game stamina recovers, but your food meters still go down.
