Thoughts on the new eating and drinking system?

Yeah, except this is ZOMBIE SURVIVAL... Not a Bear Grylls simulator.

 

I believe it is a "MMO open world survival horror" game.

 

ANY kind of survival, being it a "Bear Grylls simulator 2015", a "MMO open world survival horror" or "ZOMBIE SURVIVAL", as you wrongfully categorized it, revolves around one key element: self preservation. So not that different after all.. That said.. one should play the game as he pleases.. cuz u know.. sandbox ;)

Again, this is ZOMBIE SURVIVAL.  This is not Bear Grylls simulator 2015.

 

Yeah you can't drink your own piss.

Zombie survival is a wrongful category?  Hmm, let's see... The two factors that make this game what it is, what are they?  Survival and....ZOMBIES?  Hmmm

Here is one HUUUUGE difference between the old system and the system we have now. Before when you drank from a fountain, you pressed the button rapidly and got like 20 doses of water or so to get from thirsty to light green hydrated. Now, if you use the f11 system to drink from a fountain, you press three times and you are full but not hydrated.if you were thirsty. You can continue to drink even if you are full to get hydrated but will most likely throw up.

Strangely, I can drink 20 soda pops or sip from my canteen 20 times  without any problems so it seems that it is only water fountains that cause this.

 

The other day I was starving, stuffed and thirsty and got poisoned by blue berries, then drank a fuel canister full of water, threw up and directly became hydrated and energized. I then ate charcoal tabs and ate some more food and became healthy. Weird stuff. this all happened in the space of ten minutes. I didn't have any more issues with food after that. Then someone lodged an axe between my eyes and all my worries went away.

I logged in earlier today after not playing for a couple weeks after trying out 0.53, and, to be honest, I didn't really notice any difference. To be fair, I was already at full Energized, Hydrated and Healthy statuses when I logged in, and it wasn't until after I was attacked by an invisible zombie inside of a house that this changed, with Energized changing to Energized and Healthy disappearing altogether. I did, however, need to eat at least 3 or 4 full cans of tuna before I regained my previous statuses, which seems different somehow. Of course, I make it a habit to eat any fruits or vegetables I find immediately, as well as taking a few sips from every well I come across, so this might help to explain why my statuses don't change very much.
