    That's a pretty awesome farm you got there.

    Just be careful of acid rain/ metors.

    Yea you stop eating in real life and you will se im pretty sure you will die. The Hunger system is there becaus it makes it real. From what i know if you eat in real life you dont gett faster and you dont heal wounds any faster either. So stop nagging about it.

    As badly phrased as it is, I agree.
    It coincidentally is also what I wrote, save for the last sentance.

    I would be fine if pause were to be added to singleplayer, but how would you have it implemented in multiplayer? Becoming invincible, anywhere, at the click of a button would have innumerable exploits. For instance: you're low on food, have nothing to eat, hit your personal pause and have a friend come to you and give you food, where you should've ended up dead because of your lack of foresight. It would work if it would pause everyone, but then it would disrupt everyone because of your personal need to go AFK.

    Farm backup power in case of harvest pile up at the warehouse under a box.

    Protects from acid rain canopy, its not in the picture. But in any case it is only a very small part of my farm, if you did not know that many cultures can grow under the ground, there can be more than 50 floors with wheat. =)

    I like the idea of a hunger mechanic, Its one of the features the devs set out for this game, farming, cooking and survival. And i like the idea of survival. Survival that involves more then "dont die to a mob". Hazardous biomes, calamities, survival needs. I like that sort of thing.
    And im sure the system will go through some iterations down the line.

    Sadly some people think that starbound is not a survival game.

    It would be nice if they add rotting of food, and make food generally harder to get.

    Agreed. They likely will, once they get around to setting up the hunger properly.

    Another thing to say... Think about the artists that made all of the food designs and cooking stations, think about how it would be to just throw their work away! We shouldn't remove the food system.

    i like the food system. But there should be more to it, maybe different effects depending on hunger level.

    I feel like its just a system that they implemented but haven't got to finishing yet.

    Making this simple:

    INCREASE HEALTH REGENERATION EFFECTS (bandages, beds, natural health regen) DRASTICALLY WHEN WELL-FED

    Solves two problems with one stone.

    Starbound is a video game, not a realistic simulation of biology. There's nothing wrong with giving food unrealistic effects in a game where fish-people can jump ten feet in the air while wearing armor made out of solid gold, and self-aware medieval robots grow plants with metal fruit. If you want realistic food, go eat a sandwich.

    probably been answered already but...sleep or sit on a chair it slows down hunger 'stop it?'
    Also, instead of removing it, i think it will be improved upon eventually, and they should give you bonus for being full, and they should also give incentive to sleep other than healing...i would like it if we could skip time by sleeping, so if you dont want to wait for night to pass you just sleep and wake up in the morning with empty stomach or something.

    What he said.

    It's far too early in development to say that cooking is useless.

    Cooking is useless at this point in time. Pointing out its uselessness is a way to let the developers know the system needs to be changed. Welcome to beta feedback.
