Cans are the low end food in 7d2d.
If i' demand: Pleaaaaaase make zombies weaker, because at gamestage 150 my unskilled stone spear is barely able to kill a radiated!
Doesn't matter to me whether they are @%$*#! tier or god tier, canned food is all I got, and the ratio of what I eat to my hunger is off by a lot. The games got zombies, so I don't expect this to be a sim, but it must be partially based in reality for any kind of immersion. That is the point the OP is ultimately making. It's not realistic to eat that much food and not be full. As for the other bit of your quote, it irrelevant because by the time you reach radiated zombies, you have better weapons. I'm talking about a starting position. But whatever buddy.
You clearly did not play the early versions of A17
I would like to see this made easier by the return of the garden hoe/tillable soil to produce low-yield farms so that you can plant a few things that would provide basic sustenance while you go out and raid for supplies; perhaps locking yield to a single food item per plant and require farm plots for more efficient farming so that it's not a scramble to find the materials to make a farm plot, seeds, etc.
It isn't quite as easy as that since you also need the seeds, and for quantities you need the recipe itself to produce the seeds. Until that time you have to eat a lot of canned food (and soon more grilled/boiled meat as animals have been boosted). I think the critics here are talking about that early time which can easily take you more than 10 days.You clearly did not play the early versions of A17
Compared to A17 the stamina drain is no big issue. The biggest problems have the players who lived exclusively on canned food in A18. As soon as you know at least of the better recipes, the problem with the food is over. For example, a plate of spaghetti gives you over 120 food. Gambo Stew is also extremely nutritious.
My tip to everyone is to invest a point in Master Chef right at the beginning and start planting a garden as early as possible.
There were technical limits for removing tillable soil. Limits to do with the black box graphics engine they are using and improvements that were more important to TFP than tillable soil. Maybe a future update of Unity or who knows, other changes in the game lift that limit again, but until then...
A Survival game requires some Survival skills - jus sayin'
Stop trying to use iron or steel tools before you are ready for them and you won't have that problem.
I've been playing since A12, and also have literally thousands of hours in Ark, so this isn't my first rodeo, thank you. I'm not saying those perks need to be eliminated. It's good they are there, but I shouldn't be forced to perk into them just to get by. Perking into them should make already manageable survival easy, not unmanageable survival manageable. Food drainage needs to be toned down. This isn't JUST a survival game. It's also crafting, shooting and looting...tower defense in a way. It has lots of aspects which right now are being dominated by the survival angle. Balance is what I'm asking for.
Dominated? Survival was always an afterthought. Temperatures? Plenty of solutions out of the box. It is more of a small annoyance anyway the way it has been implemented. Weather? What weather. Diseases/Injuries? Nothing too threatening, plenty of materials for medicine and even if there weren't the DP is almost negligible. Food? You can just get by with meat -- plenty of animals. Will be annoying but you can make it less annoying with 1 point in master chef. Balance? How much time do you spend doing each of the aspects of the game you mention VS survival preparations? I certainly find myself spending the least amount of time for it.
The balance is that survival dominates your first 5-12 days, on day 25 there is no survival part anymore.
As I said, if you just want a zombie shooter and nothing else, mod it or use creative menue to give you a starting boost. Because this game is more than a zombie shooter
Why is the game awarding you things you're not supposed to be using? When is one ready for steel tools? I've got two attribute trees at 10 and I still spend too much of my time standing around waiting for my stamina to return. I think your off here and I stand by my statement.
Yes they've placed an emphasis on one of the most annoying parts of the game. We're playing a food service simulator with some zombies thrown in and if you're up for it you can build yourself a nice base to rez in after you starve to death

Since the attribute trees don't help with digging you could have them at 20 and it wouldn't help you. How about telling us what your level is in sexrex and miner69? Are you drinking coffee or blackstrap while digging?
Your question suggests that only one skill tree should enjoy being able to play the game and not sit and stare at their screen for half the time they are mining or using tools.
Big surprise that mining depends on the mining skills. Like stealth depends on the stealth skills, who are as well under one specific attribute. If a stealther doesn't learn them or uses heavy armor because that metal looks better on him he will wake up a lot of zombies too early (actually he often doesn't because zombie detection range still needs some work) and not kill them on first shot and not have the complete stealth package. For example he can't one-hit kill a sleeper with a machete because he doesn't get near enough.
