I'm afraid not. It's annoying, since it achieves the opposite result of what the RFE intended.

Which RFE do you mean?

There are not many comments in that RFE after the fix (probably because it got buried down the forum), but the issue was discussed in several threads of the general forum IIRC, and the general consensus seemed to be that stat drops on "Hungry" are a bad idea because they come without any warning. Stat drops should kick in when "Hungry!" so that the player has time to eat before getting ill effects.

I personally would leave starvation stat drops like in 1.1.1, and simply make the "Hungry" status appear earlier, so that you have more time to eat or find some food before you really have to.

Yeah, basically what the original poster of 1399 was suggesting in his first suggestion, I quote:

"> Contract the distance between [no status] and 'Hungry'. This means that the player becomes aware earlier on that they need to go and acquire food. It would also take some of the panic out of seeing the 'Hungry' warning and normalize it somewhat."

Then me explaining what he meant:

Some other posters also stated that this was what they'd prefer.

Fixed (the original issue). I will remind the Creator to check this issue and 1399. :)

Stingray has the right of what I meant.
