Spawn MORE food

[ismith15 0]

Ive died more times from starvation despite my best efforts to find food. Ive looked in so many houses and grocery stores to find food but rarely when i need it most can it be found. I stockpile food when i do find it but my player never seems to be satisfied with how much he has had to eat. Its really really annoying to always and I mean always see the im extremely hungry message....

I find plenty of food, get off the coast and the well traveled paths (big cities).  My first stop is always tulga since NO ONE goes there and it has a water pump.

I played on a hardcore server for 2 days now, never played just after the server restarted. Still there was enough food to stay alive. Maybe you just need some training? Learn to search in the right places and you will get what you want.

It really depends on the server. High pop with high turnover, and more time between restarts, like the experimental servers tend to go dry quickly. I died a few times on them in a scramble for food, nothing from the coast to Novy or anywhere in between. Other times, no problem at all. Just depends on how ransacked the server gets.

Do MORE research.

 

There are plenty of other posts like this. loot does not currently respawn unless the server restarts right now. This will eventually change and items will respawn without a server restart. For now, I suggest finding a server that restarts regularly and/or get off the coast.

some people seem to want the only threat to a players life to be other players and maybe occasionally zombies.

 

I was playing on the experimental build the other day, I think it was sunday night and the servers hadn't been restarted for some reason, for hours.

 

I checked every building in berezino and svet and found nothing but open doors, books and wood piles. It was frantic.

I ran inland and it was the same, every town I reached had been stripped bare. I died on the way to starry of starvation, it was awful and it only confirmed to me the joy and pain of this game.

 

My second life I switched server hoping to have more luck, but the same thing happened, elektro bare and every small town and hamlet I desperately searched yielded nothing and again, I died in a field between towns somewhere in the north, of starvation. This was gaming at it's most gloriously frustrating.

 

I spawned again and swam to skalisity, I thought maybe just maybe there'll be something here and again I found I had been beaten to it, the entire hive was looted bare. I died again of starvation and I enjoyed the whole session.

 

Of course, this was a freak occurrence but struggling to find even some fruit was truly incredible as a gaming experience, I found berries a few times but they didn't provide enough nutrition to fuel me for the next leg of my odyssey, I think packaged food should be rare and foraging etc should be improved, of course hunting is coming soon, and maybe fishing too.

I have yet to die of either thirst or starvation. And as loot currently spawns I must admit I have real difficulty seeing how anyone else could have.

Just run your ass down the railroad and you will find a oasis of food called a city.

No. No more food is needed. This is what i do when i spawn. Get off coast and go to the nearest town within eyes view, then i head to elecrto and eat every bit of food i find, cuz if u eat till ur *stuffed* then you wont have to eat for like an hour *Real life time* and when i arrive at electro, there is pleny of food, and all this was on a 35-40 Players in the server....so...there is no need for more food.

Get off the coast. Theres always plenty of loot inland.

[Rudette 435]

Having no problems finding food!

[terminal_boy 860]

Me neither. Get off the beaten tracks.

Living off raw rice and pond water until I find a can opener and loving every minute of it.

[Capo 323]

get off the coast, plenty of food inland. 

[janol 65]

Meh. Spawn less food!

 

Also, different type of can opener should be needed for each different type of can.
