PC New Update Food/Drink issue?

I really like that hunger has actually become a meaningful concern for survival. The problem for me lies in the way it's been implemented though. To me the way it is now makes it feel like not so much a survival aspect, but more of an eating simulator. I think it would be much better... and feel more like survival... if hunger degradation was slowed down quite a bit. In order to balance this, food could be more scarce and harder to come by. After some balancing the same ratio of hunger degradation to food availability could be achieved as it is now, the only difference would be that you wouldn't have to eat the equivalent of a whole deer, half a pig and four cans of Sham every day.

 
+1I just hit day 2 on a solo-default difficulty-RWG. Post tutorial run to trader (2k) I noticed the stamina issues. New plan: must score food/drink before night. Found a commercial block with a Shamway and Butcher Pete's. Spent loose change I found in vending machine on eggs. Perked 1 point to Master Chef and now doing just fine. Would be just fine even without Chef perk, lots of canned food in those shamway crates. I haven't chopped a tree nor hammered a stone yet.

We know where the food is, I find it appropriate that it is now probably a top day one priority. Hit up BBQ's in yards, Fridges/Cupboards, Shamway, Bakery, Butcher, Strip Joint, Fast Food, Farms, Bars, the great outdoors...... so any options for food in this game......

Yeah good post.

This really highlights the difference in game play between A16 and A17.

I don't remember ever worrying about food in A16.

It just wasn't an issue.

[For veterans at least. I know some newer players struggled a little till they got the hang of it.]

In A17 one of the biggest changes is what you need to focus on during the first seven days.

Food is right up there!

I think that's got some people griping but also some are loving it.

That's probably true about any of the changes we're seeing, however, isn't it?

 
I'm not spending much time in the game anymore. Reason being it's totally broken and imho totally unplayable. I do understand others feel different but I'm giving my personal point of view,

I have been popping in to have a look at every update but that wont happen to many more times... Game sucks in so many ways and it's taking a turn that I dont like.

If this is anything close to what TFP wanted when they started 5 years ago..... then I must say that they have done a pisspoor job over all these years with the earlier Alphas.

Imho this sucks in more ways I can even explain. So with that said, bring the hateful comments..

Everyone has their own opinions man, no hate from me. I wish they would have just given us all the new stuff with the A16 system. I am still having fun though. I would be having more fun with it though if they would not have completely scrapped the old system.

Wish you the best bud, when I revisit A16 for a playthrough here and there you're welcome to join for some MP/PVE if you would like.

Steam name is the same as my name here.

 
In the defense of the devs, I am glad that they made this change. It got me thinking about the starvation mechanic, and as such i believe it needs some work. Seeing what starving to death looks like, I find the old wellness system made more sense then the current system. However i do see the path they are going and i like the ideas they are pushing.

So more feedback and descriptions of play style are needed to fix the hunger system.
