Food takes time to digest

[RayPugh 146]

As the title suggests I'd like to see a little time between the eating of a meal and receiving the health increase it brings with it, so if you eat a can of beans or steak for example your health will trickle up at a certain rate. perhaps +5 blood per second. (just and example ratio)

I think the instant increase of health is a little too easy to top up blood, as are blood bags. I know blood bags have been discussed to death, but a similar trickle increase on blood over time mechanism would be less op and more realistic at the same time. I don't want to go any further into blood bags in this post but your welcome to add your thoughts.

the further elaborate on this you could introduce some form of system for the cooking and eating of food, lets say you want to eat a can of beans. you can eat them and lets say that takes 5 seconds, and it will yield 4.5 blood per second for 45 seconds (just over 200) . or you can cook them and eat them providing you have the relevant materials. it will take 10 seconds to cook and eat them but you will receive an 7 blood per second increase for 1 min (420 blood)

any suggestions and constructive criticism is most welcome :)

That will tie in nicely with the shitting feature that will be incorporated in the SA! lol

no shit!!! :huh:

jokes aside...i sure hope food will be seperated from health as it is now because eating a steak or drinking a can of soda doesn't heal you magically, neither does a blood bag but it eases the suffering quite a bit but you should still need time to fully recover.

I belive the time it takes to need more food after eating and drinking at the minute is ridiculas

i'll add another layer...food should take time to eat

I'm fine with the time it takes to eat, I think there's going to far in adding realism and balancing gameplay, but I do agree that the food should be a slow filling, so that you eat your beans, and then your food and blood raise over maybe a good 5 minutes, which also adds time between when you can eat again.

im not sugesting any increase or decrease in the rate at which one starves or de hydrates, (tho it is a little quick currently.)

id like to see a full revamp of the way food is cooked and eaten, in the real world we cook food not only to make it more palatable, but to make it easier to eat.

how long would it take you to eat a raw carrot in comparrison to a boiled one?

(example) it takes 5 seconds to eat an uncooked can of beans, eat a cooked can of beans in 3 seconds...

ofc there is the time it takes too cook things but i would like to see additional changes to the current method of cooking

(example) it takes 5 seconds to cook one can of beans provided you have the required items (matches, wood, pan)

every subsequent can you add to the mix would take a reduced time of 3 seconds, there should also be a limit to the amount of food one can eat in a single sitting. lets say 4 cans of beans being the maximum it would take 14 seconds to cook the pan of beans. each then taking 3 seconds to eat so thats less than 30 seconds to cook and eat 4 cans of beans.

no longer can you just beef up on multiple cans or steaks to regain blood, there is a limit to how many you can eat (4) and if they are cooked they can deliver just a limited amount of blood over a set time period (1680 blood over 4 mins (cooked) (810 blood over 3 mins (uncooked)

all examples are just that, examples. I've not given too much thought to the ratios, just that the current method is too easy to get fighting fit in no time.

i hate getting buried by shit suggestions

this is not a bump, its a rant... a small one.
