Beastly Hunger

Description

The hungrier Kyle gets, the less human he becomes.

Starve the man. Feed the Beast.Beastly Hunger tries to make hunger worth thinking about.

At Full, Kyle is more human: Beast-meter gain slows, while regeneration, healing, weapon upkeep and ranged damage improve. Let the bar fall and the Beast steadily wakes. Very Hungry and beyond bring dramatic power, including gradual Night Vision.

This is my second mod, following Earn Your Appetite, trying to make hunger into an actual game mechanic. I've tried to write up a general explanation of how this mod works in many different ways, but it always ends up being too complicated. So here's a friendly graphic instead.

The graphic shows the default configuration. Values are configurable and transition smoothly as hunger changes.

Configuration

The defaults are ready to play. To tune them, edit:

ph_ft\work\bin\x64\BeastlyHunger.iniBeastly Hunger uses five hunger bands: Full, Hungry, Very Hungry, Famished and Empty. Each section of the INI has one value for each band. For example:

Gain. Full=75

Gain. Hungry=100

Gain. VeryHungry=125

Gain. Famished=175

Gain. Empty=250100% is normal. Lower values weaken that effect; higher values strengthen it.

All tuning values hot-reload when the INI is saved. Only Enabled requires a restart.

Full / Human State

At Full, Beastly Hunger applies a distinct human-state set of perks:

• []Health regeneration: 300%.[/]

  []Stamina regeneration: 200%.[/]

  []Healing efficiency: 150%.[/]

  []Melee durability loss: 75%.[/]

  []Firearm damage: 125%.[/]

  []Bow and crossbow damage: 125%.[/]

The original native values restore automatically when Kyle's hunger leaves Full.

Earn Your Appetite

Earn Your Appetite and Beastly Hunger are designed as two halves of the same hunger system:

Earn Your Appetite determines how Kyle becomes hungry.

Beastly Hunger determines what that hunger does.They work naturally together, and I highly recommend using them together, but Earn Your Appetite is not technically required. Beastly Hunger follows the hunger thresholds active in your game, including thresholds changed by a different PAK mod.
