Remove/improve hunger system?

Not really, no.

 

Agreed. Why do we do crossword puzzles?

 

Actually that's legit, I didn't do 4 up 7 letters and I exploded.

 

So now I need to add crossword gods to my paranoia list. Thanks.

 

I really hope I don't get too into this as I usually do.

- Hunger at this current stage is still good because:

It adds more detail to a survival game, and is good to keep
you on your toes.

- Hunger is reasonable because:

People get hungry, and theres food. Yay.

- Hunger does not give bonuses/defects either way, and its fine because:

When was the last time you suddenly got the motivation to do anything
because you ate, save for pissing and shitting? Unless you have a really
hearty meal. Which by that point I assume you'd be waddling around.

- To conclude:

Hunger is an unfinished mechanic, but it servers a purpose, and is one
of those things you just don't question until a more reasonable system
has been implemented. Which I am sure the devs can do on their own,
since they bothered to put it in the game.

- Final word:

I think 4 up is Pokemon.

Hunger is a good valuable and logical mechanic, but yes, it's unfinished, and right now it's empty. It's a hollow feature. It's just there. There's no depth to it.

I think I already said this, I dunno. I'm tired.

 

Check the last sentance, its a solution to the problem.

 

I for the most part agree.

The only benefit food has in this game is the same benefit food has in Terraria, some give very short (and I mean VERY short) buffs.

There isn't much reason to implement a hunger feature where theres food EVERYWHERE, and taking that away (tons of food everywhere) wouldn't make much sense at all in a Sci-Fi game. Hunger serves little to no purpose after the first sector. I feel like its a tacked on feature.

I say give us the option to remove it after defeating the UFO boss, as hunger has some use very early on (as the fact you're reduced to caveman status(but even then starvation almost never occurs)).

 

what

 

Nuthin.

 

I was kind of hoping they'd add a thirst system in this game since they already have hunger. You'd have to bottle enough water in flask(multiple uses?) you could boil water for safety and melt ice and snow for more.(maybe brew alcohol for bonuses?) It always irks me when games add hunger systems yet never hydration systems.(they always seem to have milk or bottle water as items to)

 

Seriously, I know you had your problems with me, but leave her alone.

 

While I personally hate the hunger system, I agree with most of the suggestions to flesh the system out more completely. The one thing I have not seen mentioned is the length of the hunger cycle (how long it takes to go from Full to "death by starvation." I would like to see the hunger cycle lengthened, perhaps by a factor of 3 or 4 so that I can spend more time doing the things I ENJOY in this game.

As I see it, the issue of hunger depends mainly on a person's play style. Some people want to get off their starter planet as fast as possible and explore the universe. Others simply enjoy building, digging, and exploring underground.

For the former I would submit that the hunger system is less of a problem because finding civilization while exploring the universe probably comes more quickly and therefore acquiring (buying) all the food one requires is a non-issue.

For the latter, spending an hour or 3 digging underground is constantly interrupted by the need to feed. Before going underground for some satisfying spelunking, we need to spend much more time hunting food to stock up on our supplies, while avoiding getting killed and losing 30% of our acquired cash with each death.

I would like to see a lengthened hunger cycle, while adding most of the other features that players have been discussing to the food/recipe/production/buffing system. This would foster playing the game the way we want, rather than forcing us into a narrower main stream.

I would also like to see a longer diurnal cycle.

 

Erm, sorry, am I interrupting your date with her? Or is it a him, how can we ever be sure? By checking the profile!
Oh, its a male. I see, I suppose you're trolling me then?

How is saying that Pokemon is the solution to Up 4, with seven letters, disturbing her/him?
Please, Sir White Knight. Your presence is needed elsewhere.

 

The game contradicts its own lore in multiple circumstances so this snarky response is hardly pertinent. Hylotl aren't actually herbivores and florans are not carnivores, as the lore dictates. It'd be realistic if the races had subtle differences, too, but that unfortunately and probably won't happen.

Besides, the most ironic thing about your post, is that hunger does not work currently like it does in "real life." Unlike what you seem to think, not eating after half a day does not start causing you physical harm and kill you that quickly. Humans can live for a long time without food, about a month (and considering all the races are just cookie cutters of one another I can assume this is true about them as well). Having debuffs instead of dying really quick makes more sense, and takes away some of the arbitrary aspects of the hunger system.

 

Have you got a problem with one of us? It was a simple mistake. Let him alone.

 

No, quite frankly I don't know whats going on with both of you exactly. I don't think i've done anything wrong
to either of you. (Besides the picture thing, but then hey, its true. Never judged you or anything)

 

You seemed to have ticked him off previously. Plus, your reply was rather rude. Plus plus, the 'picture thing' was something that didn't contribute to anything. It's kinda annoying.

 

Well, he got really pissed off that people were asking him for games in his game giveaway thread. I defended them, he got angry.
My reply was not uncalled for, nor vulgar, considering he has no buisness in trying to fight with me. I refer you to how Adriana Richards
cause two people quite a bit of problems by butting into something they aren't involved in.
Finally, the picture thing was a one off event, and was settled in that thread. It got as far as two posts, and stopped.

Enlighten me how I am being annoying?

EDIT: Argument dropped before flame war/escalation. Phew.
