@Beast 1.6? Please? You made an amazing mod!

Thank you @GodlyAnnihilator. I hope you're having a good day and are being cherished the way you deserve as a wholesome light-being.

1.5 coming up??

ja

Could it be that this mod also delays the healing time of all hediff's? I am asking because I noticed my pawns heal awfully slow, like.. Ultra slow! -_-"

For the ones that don't wanna go into file editing, here.

Works perfectly fine.

wake up samurai

1.4 didn't change the malnutrition hediff. This will still work fine, just ignore the warning (or change the About.xml if you're so inclined)

Any plans to update?

Please update to 1.4

@Orbit What is there to fix ? it works perfectly

plz fix

This mod makes the game a lot better, it gives you time to resolve food shortages without lowering the difficulty. Had this active for quite some time and came to like, favourite and comment :)

As a person who eats once every 24-48 hours I cannot describe how greatly this improves the game overall.

this mod is criminally under-subscribed. should be vanilla.

You can add and remove it at any time.

But if you remove it while anybody is above moderate starvation they will instantly starve because in Vanilla they will be at 100% starvation.

Save game compatible?

seems to be working fine in my game.

I think it stopped working? Might be just me.

Yeah, I've been running this fine even with the warning. Nice to see one less red warning, but it wasn't a big deal. Seconding Viper, I put it way up on my list right after Humanoid Alien Races, and before all other races. I think I've run this with almost every non-anime BB female body race on the workshop. I have nothing constructive to add, since I don't have a very large sample size of advanced starvation subjects/victims. My prisoners tend to get killed in mass riots before they get around to starving. We will redouble our efforts, Lord Vader!

honestly, i think the effects for each stage of starvation are pretty believable as is

incredible!!! thank you!

Also if someone has an better idea for the effects of starvation I'm all ears. I feel like it's currently a lot of random effects which could be simplified to something more streamlined.

Yes, just tested it. Updated the tags. (No changes to the files themselves.)

does this still work in 1.3?

To anyone reading this and wondering, YES, this mod works PERFECTLY still. I suggest loading it very HIGH (early) in your modlist (contrary to my comment below from middle of last year), as high as you can. And I have an absolutely huge modlist (500+) with a lot of animals and races and robots and you-name-it, and it just works as intended still.

You want it loaded high in case something for a specific mod animal/race/android etc has to overwrite the Hediff for some specific function. If you load this afterwords, it'll break that entity's modded function.

I really liked this mod in my play through a while back. Does anyone know whether or not this works in 1.2?

So... based on that, I'm actually going to put this LOWER in my load order, so that if there is a conflict, this prevails.

Place it near top. Auto-sort only works where a mod's About.xml explicitly says load this before/after that.

Only downside to this being a whole record, not a patch, is if another mod does the same thing the later-load wins, just like in Bethesda game modding.

For load order, should this go near the top then? Or I guess - will the in game auto sort feature put it in the right place?

PS: It also doesn't need to be a patch for it to be compatible with any other mod. It changes and adds records without deleting any.

It only affects malnutrition debuff, but it changes more than maxSeverity. Author may have caused misunderstanding of that earlier in thread.

I put this XML and the original in diff to see if it should become a patch. It shouldn't become a patch. The changes are so many that it would be a waste of time and CPU to have this be a patch. This XML mod should be as-is and loaded before other mods that might patch it after the defs are all read.

@Rademenes16 - That's how plenty of mods work my friend. Simple ones like "No mood debuff selling prisoners" took only changing the debuff to "0" and it's one of my favourites.

he doesnt have one, it's simple.

Arent most mods xml edits? i dont understand your point

Feels like you edited few xml's lines and uploaded this mod

I always thought malnutrition in Rimworld was kinda weird, since in reality humans take way longer to die of hunger than a couple days. I will try this out :)

@Beast Do you consider rewriting the code as patch operation for better compatibility to other mods, as Paladin pointed out?

It only affects the malnutrition debuff. It works by changing the max severity to 3.0, instead of vanilla 1.0.

Also a word of warning, you should probably not remove the mod while any pawns have a moderate malnutrition or above. At moderate malnutrition the severity is already at 100% without this mod, so they will die from hunger instantly.

Does this slow down hunger rate by 3 times or does it only affect the Malnutrition debuff?

nice

You overwrite hediff instead of patching it. That may cause issues with other mods that do the same.

@LionOnTheFloor
Should be compatible with about anything. Malnutrition is left alone by pretty much any mod. Works fine with Alien Races.

The original Malnutrition only affected Consciousness, HungerRateFactor and Social Fight Chance Factor. The HungerRateFactor scales now from 0.1 to 0.5, while the Vanilla version started at 0.5 and scaled to 0.6. Social Fight Chance now only affects Trivial and Minor stages, with the reasoning that at Moderate the pawns are too weak to want to start a fight. Consciousness debuffs are stronger now, but only start at moderate.

I hadn't thought about animals yet, but they use the same Hediff, so I will have see how it affects the balancing of those.

Save for existing saves and Alien Races?

Nice overhaul! How does this affect animals? Will it still increase the hunger rate with each stage? I hope so. Have you kept all Vanilla debuffs, while adding yours? Not exactly clear from the description.
