Earn Your Appetite - Hunger and Exertion Rebalance

Description

Hunger in Restored Land is mostly a clock. It runs at nearly the same speed whether you're clearing a rooftop, driving across the valley, or standing in a stash reading a note. Meanwhile, sprinting and most of the things that actually tire you out barely come into it. This mod changes that.

Earn Your Appetite shifts hunger away from simply passing time and toward what Kyle actually does.

Rest is cheap. Exertion matters. Beast Mode is expensive. Staying completely full costs more than running a little hungry, while going too far eventually brings the game's own hunger penalties into play.

  How It Changes Hunger

  Rest Is Cheap

  The passive hunger rate is reduced to a quarter of vanilla.

  You can stop and look at something without feeling as though the hunger bar would prefer you get on with it. Driving works the same way. Sitting in a truck is not hard work.

  Exertion Burns Calories

  Jumping, climbing, sliding and several other traversal actions have little or no meaningful hunger cost in vanilla. EYA gives them one. The runtime component also adds hunger while sprinting.

  Spend a while moving quickly across rooftops and you'll arrive noticeably hungrier than if you'd spent the same time wandering around, looting, or standing still. Take your time and food lasts longer.

  The grappling hook costs a little more than a jump.

  Hulking Out Costs a Meal

  Beast Mode burns a substantial amount of hunger. With the full setup, transforming on a full stomach costs roughly a sixth of the bar.

  You should need a snack after hulking.

  It also gives Beast Controlled potentially more value.

  You Don't Need to Stay Topped Off

  Hunger burns fastest near Full and gradually slows as the bar empties. Eat a large meal and the top of the bar comes down relatively quickly; leave it alone and the decline settles into something much slower.

  Being Full provides stamina and healing benefits. EYA makes maintaining those benefits cost something, rather than leaving Full as the obvi
