NO hungry , bar?

upbeat giraffe :666
is there anyway to show the hungry bar? played for 3-4days my fishman never hungry '

 

Hunger was completely removed.

 

For now

 

Preferably forever :v

 

I am kinda sad to see it go it added a bit more of survival aspect to the game. I understand it was annoying to some, but in my spaceship I have over 100 steaks so i do not think it was that big of a problem. That may just be me though and I hope they add this mechanic back into the game some day.

 

Too bad for you that's not the case. It'll be back on higher dificulty settings. As if you didn't have mods to make things easy mode for you anyway =_=

 

Hunger in my opinion was the most annoying part of the game, love the new system.

I swear to god I couldn't leave my person alone for 15 minutes without dieing of hunger. And hunger was pointless to the point where you just kept 500 pineapples on hand and ate one every 5 minutes or so, that's all it was. It gave a small amount of immersion, but the new system with hunger effects will be the thing that appeals to the most people (Because there is no such thing as the perfect mechanic in a game)

 

I didn't like hunger for the fact that you couldn't pause the game. Now you still can't, but it doesn't matter if you're in a safe place because time means nothing. You could have rested in a bed for hunger, but that makes no sense.

 

I'd personally like to see a balance between the two systems - and make hunger have more consequences / tougher consequences. A steak should be a minor fix for hunger, simply put, it should require more food to fill you up. Proper meals would fill you more and give you a lasting minor buff perhaps.

 

Sure hope there is a pause game at some point. As much as I do hate games taking features from other games, Terraria has a lot of interesting mechanics that should be implemented into Starbound. Quick stack being one of the obvious ones.

 

I'd honestly just like to be able to split stacks into specific amounts so I'm not tossing a half or a quarter-stack to whoever I'm with when they only need a couple X things.

 

Keep dreaming. All of the buffs provided can be outperformed by stims and techs and just the player not fuckin sucking. Also all you needed to go afk was A FUCKIN CHAIR. Sit on a chair and boom no hunger happened. =_=

 

I never claimed that the buffs provided by food was great, and in reality shouldn't stim packs specifically created for creating buffs be better than food at buffing? I wouldn't use a match as a light source if I have a flashlight on hand. And regarding the chair, I have a bit over 130 hours on the game and this is the first time i've ever heard of that. How are you supposed to know sitting in a chair prevents your hunger meter from going down? There is nowhere in starbound that has a basic list of controls, or a basic tips screen.

 

Typically in game development the tutorials are made last when all features are finalized. Making tutorials in every build would just slow down the production and add costs.

 

Even so, how hard is it to add an additional GUI as a temporary fix? You know, a simple screen telling you what buttons do what? The game has been out for more than a year, I don't even mean a full fledged tutorial, just a method of knowing how the hell to play without needing to google. This is coming from a guy with 1300 hours in terraria, the controls are fairly similar

 

Sitting in a chair makes no sense. Hunger as it was was boring.

 

Hunger was in its previous state, repetitive and unpolished. However, it had the right idea in having it contributing to the survival aspects of the game. I liked potentially dying from starvation, although its integration at the time was poorly done. It was more of a chore than an actual threat. Removing it entirely and adding all that food was backwards logic, in my opinion. Why add all that food but remove the system that revolved around hunger? The buffs system and the hunger system could've intertwined depending on how it was handled. Otherwise, it's now pretty much a cut and paste of Terraria's buff system. Regardless, its removal does give Chucklefish the opportunity to overhaul it at least, along with the temperature system that was also removed.

 

Sadly, the temperature system has been replaced by tiers. Fire/Frozen planets are no longer "merely threats" or planet types. They have divided environments into tiers and
they are completely negated by having the prereq suit tech (questing through the tiers)

 

Agree the ability to pause is a must in my opinion. Personally I like hunger because it gives me a reason to use more recipes then just horde food for boss fighting buffs. Then again the buff system makes it so you can't eat for awhile so I wonder when they bring hunger back how they will alter that.

Also I like the idea of temperature but it was not implemented good enough, an inclosed house should keep heat in my opinion.

Also I know people would hate this idea but thirst for higher difficulty would be nice.

 

Higher difficulty? You mean harder than hardcore? What, wipe the universe with each death/generate a new universe? xD
