How is thirst/hunger calculated?

[sostronk 334]

And is there a way for me to minimize it? Specifically im thinking about sprinting/running/crouching/crawling. I know environmental factors come into play, but if im running between two town for instance, will I conserve hunger/thirst levels by crouch running instead of running or sprinting. Same with crawling. There was one case where I starved and bled out from it and had alot of stuff so I would have crawled if I thought it would have helped.

Minimize it by running not sprinting.

Stay in the shade under trees and avoid fields if possible.

3.14 + -27(4) x M = HUNGER

3.14 + -27(4) x M = HUNGER

I knew that. Mathematics.. Mathematics everywhere! :D

If you full-on sprint (standing up and running), it'll consume food/water faster, but I guess I don't know how by how much. Over-all though, unless you're really hurting on food/water supplies, you don't need to worry about it.

3.14 + -27(4) x M = HUNGER

This is a lie. How can PIE = Hunger? Oh... wait...

As everyone else said, sprinting will burn through your water pretty quickly. Running up hills a lot will tire you out. If your guy/girl sounds like he/she's about to have a heart attack, you are probably burning through water quicker too. However, I don't think there's an actual formula, per se. Not to mention the rate at which you need drink/food seems to changes between patches right now anyway :)

No need to eat or drink unless it's blinking at any rate.
