Food timer?

[The Alphabeat. 16]

Question

When your food/drink icon is blinking red, how long does it take until you die?

[terex 322]

You'll start to lose 10 blood every few secs.. Very slow.

You mean during the time it's blinking or not necessarily?

After some time the blinking has started you'll start loosing 10 blood per 3 seconds. Which means you can survive for a looong time!

A little bit after they start blinking your blood will start to tick down.. Depends on if you are moving or not how long but it's really hard to die from thirst and hunger. 10-15 minutes of running after it starts blinking maybe..

Alright thank you

/Sigh, nobody reads the wiki any more...

While blinking you'll lose blood at the rate of 20 per second. This means if you are at 12,000 blood it will take 600seconds(10minutes) to die.

Obviously if both food and water are blinking this gets halved. (So 5minutes to die.)

All the following still apply:

• 12000 - Max Blood
  
• < 9000 - Susceptible to "Knock out" from zombies
  
• < 8000 - Color and sound begin to fade
  
• < 3000 - May fall Unconscious This is a 1 out of 100 chance, calculated every second
  
• < 2000 - Black and white screen, loss of much hearing capability
  
• 0 - Player Dead

I've gone for over 5 minutes with a blinking food icon and not started to lose any blood,

Like most wiki's the information on there is not 100% accurate

[kebman 213]

So what's the correct times? For instance, I've seen players like Sacriel keep it blinking for quite an annoyingly long time - even when they're quite low on blood. When he finally did drink a soda, he added a fanfare to his cast, lol.

/Sigh, nobody actually has any real knowledge of what they post anymore...

Aside from this glowing example of copy paste, from when your icon starts blinking, you actually have a while before it kicks in. I know you can run at least 1800 metres, I haven't tested how long if you just stand still, and what the difference is between exerted and not. Suffice to say you can indeed last several minutes if you are prepared before you start taking damage.
