Add a Hunger bar!

[AtomsJosh]

I'm thinking, what if players have hunger bar that is different from health or energy? Cuz My fridge is full of food and I'm always ending days without eating (you know what i mean), so if there is a hunger bar players will constantly need to eat. I know I sound ridiculous but it's something you need to consider.

I think that would be super annoying in the beginning. You can't cook, and parsnips don't give that much energy.

If the bar is low enough, that you can fill it in the beginning, it's not gonna matter at all later when you can cook it have access to cheese.

I would love to have more reasons to actually eat my food, but I don't think a Hunger bar is the answer.

I already acknowledge this, but Eric likes Minecraft and some features of the Stardew Valley is based on Minecraft, and at the start of playing Minecraft you have to search and eat food, if only Eric gives the player to cook basic food without kitchen that'll be awesome.

Just saw that there's a "Mandatory Meals" mod that you might be interested in.

I’d hate a hunger bar, I would Love more reasons to eat my food but would stop playing if there was a hunger bar.

The energy bar is your hunger indicator.

So much this.

The way things stand, you're asking for a level of realism that this game isn't prepared to handle. The mechanics of cooking aren't conducive to it being necessary to eat in early game: you can't cook without upgrading your house and have practically no cooking recipes yet. I'd quit if it was mandatory to eat, and I suspect Drullo and I wouldn't be alone.

I think you're looking for a mod, as LRangerR pointed out.

Clearly this is the best comment i've seen in here. So I'm thinking if energy bar have like timer, so even you don't do something it still goes down. So you need to eat constantly. I just hate stacking a lot of food.
Edit: (I'm not good at English) so the energy bar still goes down even you do nothing, but it goes down little bit faster if you do something like farming
Edit2: add hardcore in game with hunger/energy bar depleting even you don't do anything. Ill play that!

Maybe your energy bar can goes down when you walk, run, fighting? Just a little bit.

I think it is a great idea! But it would be tricky at first. Maybe as an optional choice for a "hard mode"?

 

[rippytrippy]

that would be insanely annoying and just add more work. :/

 

[AtomsJosh]

When you are already settled/set up (yk what i mean) it's just a piece of a cake.

 

[LRangerR]

Some people like more work.

Also, I think an optional "hard mode" wouldn't be too crazy. Would it be a toggle, or would you have to start and stick with it?

Yeah I'm thinking about this, and this is the great idea.

I hope Eric will read this

Toggle.
Also maybe thirst bar?

Unless he's drinking beer i think being thirsty would be a little bit much.

Wine and Joja cola are drink options. + some foods in the game like coconut + juice

This is a fantastic idea. I think it would certainly add a degree of challenge and an added dimension to the game.

Finally! Someone Agreed on me!

Maybe a toggle to enable/disable hunger?
