I was so excited to play this game when it was announced, but when trying the early access game with a friend, we needed to eat so often. It frustrated my friend so much, he just requested a refund for the game, he said it felt like a chore to play it. We should not have to eat so frequently, it ruins the gameplay experience, and no longer feels like a game. In real life, you dont have to eat every few minutes. Some people eat once a day, or not at all. If you are going for realism, please make it infrequent, so we can enjoy more of the game, and less of making food like its a cooking sim.
Thank you.
As a workaround for now, it is easier to make potions that only restore satiety at the potion creation table.
The more difficult areas are more difficult without food buffs, but you can leave it for longer periods of time, such as while building or simply thinking, by simply drinking one satiety potion.
If you are at the highest rank, one will fill you up to the maximum, and since the cost to create one is low and the amount created at one time is large, you will feel much better once you realize this.
Is there any chance we can get a response from the developers? How does that work?
I concur that eating become tedious. Even when I was in the Army and doing crazy shit every day you could do just fine with 3 meals from the chow hall or 2 MREs per day. the food buffs should last longer.
It's fine as is, you get hundreds of stacks of meat after a while and the food stacks so I fail to see an issue if just the need to eat is a problem...
And if finding food is an issue early game try fishing.
I spend more time cooking and eating to keep my stamina up just to function in the world than I do exploring and fighting / farming. It's become exhausting for me. Eating simulator. Otherwise a potentially awesome themed game world.
Meal should last the entire realm day. We could get extra buffs for eating meals at B-L-D over the initial meal.
