[AbrahamRoland]

Hello, my name is Abraham, I don't usually ask things of people, but seeing as this is an Alpha, I felt it would be the right thing to do. As it is stated in the title of this thread, this is in regards to the recent update. When I first read on the homepage that there had been an update that would tweak some things that definitely needed tweaking. I was excited to log in to the game again, on a fresh map and build my base once more, but sadly this did not happen. After five minutes of playing I realized I was starving. Now, I usually don't pay much attention to my food at the start because it use to go down quite slow, but I realized I was almost to the point of starving. Now this gets me to my point (Sorry it took so long) I believe the food system should be tweaked again to find a middle ground, the main thing it seems players need to do now is hunt, which, I'm not saying is a bad thing, it adds more of a survival aspect to it, but maybe it can be tweaked so you don't burn through your food so quickly. Thanks for your time.

It utilizes more food when you are using your axe/pickaxe (pretty sure, or it's just a lot faster) which may be the reason you noticed that. I think the tweak is actually good, because I used to have no problem starving myself while sitting in my room cutting my room-tree. Now it's much harder to do that.

They did this so that you collect resources slower and so that they don't have to reset the server all the time. I would very much like it the was it was before. The hunger bar goes own still to fast and it requires you to collect food 24/7 in game and makes it really hard to travel. Especially if your a new player because you'll die before you have a house most of the time. I'd rather it be the way before. It makes the game much harder now, and I don't like it.

I trust that the developers know what there doing and have there own vision for the game's future, separate from what you may or may not want in the game.

since the game's still early in development it's wrong to expect and assume too much

What's wrong with providing a more difficult survival aspect to a survival game? Besides, "This is in very early public development. Everything will change. Beware."

Imo. I think they should make guns and ammo something harden to obtain/make aswell.

It would probably require a full reset though to get rid of the hordes of guns piled up in some peoples inventories.

I agree, although along with this maybe they should add some improvised weapons, instead of the very unrealistic military firearms

I was just providing some insight on how some players may feel about this, it is an alpha after all, we are here to report and remove the issues
