HUNGER POLL

WE NEED HUNGER, or i will quit

 

Sure, why not? I am hungry right now for chips (the real kind).

 

Well, how would it work with the current system?

Keep in mind hunger only makes the pressure to make a lot of food, not varied cooking dishes. You could get around it by cramming rice.

 

I JUST LOVE THE HUNGER SYSTEM!!!! It is perfect.... i love the fact you get hunger cause i want the game to be as real as possilbe

 

As long as people don't want to eat me, i am fine with hunger.
Now i am reminded of that one South Park episode... i should give that cartoon a poke again sometime.

 

JUST HAVE HUNGER AND BUFFS AT SAME TIME AND IF YOU FILL ALL BARS= BUFF

 

I'm all for it being added in as optional, but it shouldn't be forced. Many find it to actually just be an annoyance.

 

I would like it "back" too ( haven't lost it due to playing stable muahaha)

But it would be "more" work to make an option, no?

Still would love to see when and where it was decided and why. A Vote such as this would have been interesting!

And i say again: There are already mods out there to get invicible and have no hunger -.-

 

Follow this man's advice for he knows the truth.

 

Listen to this man, for he has seen the light

 

The darklight?

 

Clearly this should become a feature of Starbound.

 

Do you even realize how much selection bias there is on a poll like this?

 

i do, but it still is an attention grabber to staff and that is end goal

 

so much cancer in this thread

oh god why, starbound

 

No.

In Minecraft, hunger is a CONSTANT annoyance. I timed this once. I got full hunger meter. Then, took a sprint/jump dash forward. After 30 seconds.... SECONDS.... I had to eat again. Who eats every 30 seconds? Not jumping or sprinting, I still found myself gorging on pork chops way too often. Our characters should have looked like zeppelins. All hunger meters serve to do is push the actual gameplay to a backseat role because you have to stop what you're doing and eat food or suffer some asinine penalty that makes no sense. If it gets added as an option to Starbound, then a lot of servers are going to use it which limits our choices severely if we don't want to play on a server that has it enabled.

That said, if the hunger meter can be integrated in a way that doesn't require cooooonstant upkeep and we don't need to keep stacks of food on us all the time, then sure, I guess that could work. But if I have to stop every 30-50 seconds to eat, no. Never.

 

starbound you go a good 5 minutes with meat from one mob

 

I'm sorry to say, but the idea of food going bad as part of mainplay would kill a lot of my enjoyment of the game. I don't play this for the "survival" in the "survival game" sense. I'm here to plunder guarded alien tombs, tear down cruel science labs, and construct large living spaces; having to constantly micromanage my diet and keep aware of freshness dates of food is kind of a major stumbling block there. What that does is make a system I already found a minor annoyance at best into a major annoyance.

I'm getting flashbacks to Brave Fencer Musashi's intrusive, obnoxious need to eat and sleep and worry if your food goes bad while in the middle of big action setpieces.

See here's the thing. The "survival game" elements need MAJOR, MAAAAJOR revamping to be more than busywork, but at what point does that expanded system clash with the action-adventure/build-stuff game CF is trying to make? How does it enhance the overall story and advancement that they wanna nudge us along? Early-beta Starbound is pretty directionless, but it's clear they've got a story they wanna tell and an overgoal they'd like us to achieve other than "exist". If an expanded hunger/survival system is getting in the way of the missiony-type story, is it worth the developers' time and effort to fully-realize it, especially if they take the suggestion of making it an optional toggle?

Basically, does it blend with the overall presentation and goal of the game, or is it best left to the world of mods?

 

Thats not how Hunger worked in Starbound, ever as far as I know. The Hunger bar was just based on time, I believe sleeping even stopped it from decreasing. It wasn't annoying, but I can't say there was a point to it other than realism. That being said, I did like the system and I don't see why they want to change it ... They could simply add the Food mechanics they are already adding, while keeping the Hunger System as well. Rewarding those that take the time to make better food, and those that only eat basic foods do nothing but stay alive.
