Not a bug. TB recently changed the way Starvation works. Basically, it takes you a lot longer to get to Starving! from Hungry, but you start losing stats before you get there.

Thanks, missed that. I have added some feedback to bug #1399.

I actually think it may very well be a bug, even if it arised as a side effect of the starvation change. It probably wasn't intentional.

Agreed it is almost certainly a bug since it is exactly opposite in intent to what the suggestion was asking for that TB implemented. I think it's fine to have this bug report, as the one I opened about this was massively wrong in its title/original description.

Also this is a very high priority, imo (greater than a 5), so you might want to change that :)

8 was already greater than 5, but I changed it to 4. Don't want to make Thomas unhappy :)

Well, higher priority is lower number (1 is highest, 10 is lowest), so I guess my post is a bit confusing, but it all worked out in the end :p

Fortunately I am confusion resistant, Theta. I was just pretending to misunderstand you :)

It can't be intentional, otherwise there's no point in progressively warning the PC about hunger. Might as well do away with the "Hungry" statuses and make the PC take a bit longer to go from regular satiation to straight starvation in that case :p

If this is intended, at least let the player know through a message or much better let the attributes only drop when reaching the 'very hungry status' indicated by 'Hungry!'.

Agreed with Stingray.

So this effect now only kicky in with "Hungry!" and beyond. Additionally you will get a more serious warning when becoming "Hungry!", the tutorial contains an extra hint explaining the temporary attribute deterioration and I have enlarged the distance between "Hungry" and "Hungry!" (without altering the total speed of starvation).
