Food/Health System

[d4wn 23]

Hello again,

 

In reallife my body givea me a feedback if im hungry, thirsty, sick or low on engery.

what i want to say is that, because of the fact that we cannot feel what our charakter feels, we would need some kind of icons whichone show us the feeling.

you cannot solve this with some text and no one of us getting what its about. i dont need HP-bars or something like that..

 

- water symbol

- food symbol

- illnesssymbol

 

would be enough.

 

at present i have the problem, that my character is low on blood/health and i dont know if i have to drink or to eat, there have to be done smth.

 

e.g.

if water symbol & food symbol ( e.g. color green)

then

blood / health rising

 

thank you

There's already several similar posts, mate.

They have that currently in the latest updates.

I think it would be cool if they stuck the mods icons in its place though.

They currently disappear when you aren't hungry.

If you really gorge some food and water it will tell you your stomach is full and you will get bothered far less.

I'm not completely sure about illness though, I haven't personally seen it.

They may as well pop a fatigue one in, I find messages regarding water, food and tiredness can kind of become mixed up.

At times IRL though I find I can become confused whether my stomach is feeling unwell or I'm getting hunger pains.

Maybe to raise the bar of difficulty they could turn grey if you're sick or injured, maybe you will have to pay attention to what it is saying so you can say thats not right, I was full before so I must be sick D:

yes there are similar posts, but i opend this topic for more attention at this point,.. - and that is a very imporant one for SURVIVAL,..

if you cannot understand the needings of your charakter the whole game doesnt make sense at all.

The amount of food/drink you have to consume is ridiculous anyway, I ran a marathon(while gaming) back in October and I didn't need to consume as much food as this to stay alive. There is realism and then there is being completely ridiculous.

You don't need to open new topics for that. It's good enough to expand the existing ones.
