Hello there!

I have a suggestion...
I think it would be cool if a player needs to eat and drink to survive.
This feature is in the game "Fallout new vegas", and I really like that game.
It makes the game more realistic and challenging.

We can use the "cooldown" system like:

Hunger: 5H
Thirsty: 2H

For example you need to eat every 5 hour and drink every 2 hour.

What do you think about that?
I think it would be awesome.
Then you need to eat every 5 hour and drink every 2 hour.
(Ofcourse we will vote on what time it should be.)

This has been suggested before, and discussed. You should use "Search" before suggesting things, reporting bugs, etc.

Making a game more realistic doesn't mean it will make it more fun, it's a GAME

Players already need to drink and eat to survive... just not their in-game characters...

Guess about what? Huh?

Anyway, as Eternauta said, here's the threads you want:
- http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=1114.0
- http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=12394.0

And here is what a dev said about a hunger system:

I think any Hunger system would have to work by offering boosts, rather than punishing. In terms of F:NV it would be copying the bonus XP from being well rested, rather than copying the stats dropping.

I think that any hunger system that has punishments would just make the game seem like a chore, rather than something fun. And it would just be a grind to get the resources that are required.

And the suggestion in this thread isn't nearly as well thought out as the others...
