Blood loss?

Greetings.

Another thing I love about this game is that it allows me to (eventually) be a vegan again. :) Quite rare in a survival game.

Here it comes, though, the complaint. The food I survive on now typically fills up my hydration faster than my nutrition so I sometimes find myself going above 100% hydration.

Inexplicably, I then get the warning about blood loss and my hydration drops.

What? How does drinking water cause blood loss?

Confused.

Cheers.

    If you eat too much at once you get that.

    I know why it happens in game but my question is WHY? It makes no sense.

    If you eat too quickly the same thing you'll 'throw up', so some loss happens.

    Vary your diet and don't eat too quickly and you can be Veggie again and not suffer :smile:

    Hmm, that makes sense. Blood loss does not. :pensive:

    And if you would be so kind as to make more vegetables and / or plants which give off fruit, I could vary it more easily. :)

    Still, thank you for giving us the option of not harming the fauna. :)

    Cheers.

    Perhaps "Fluid loss" instead?

    That sounds a lot better, less misleading.

    I think it used to damage you, thus it being blood loss :hushed:

    Get some Koosh, Spore Pods and Creepvine in the mix, if what the Floating Island provides isn't varied enough for you.

    Koosh and Creepvine are useless for nutrition, much like the latern fruit and bulbo tree. You can't eat enough of them for them to be viable and they don't add enough of anything to be worth growing.

    You have to live off the melons and the potatoes to go vegan. The rest is just for the bioreactor. Wouldn't hurt to give players some viable options. Not like they can pack any of it to go, either.

    Indeed, we need something akin to curing (and whoever thought up that word, I wonder as I doubt the beasts feel cured, heh) for our vegan needs so we may carry it without it spoiling in a few minutes.

    As for the message, I think it ought to just outright say "you vomit and lose fluids".

    Cheers.

    We have potatoes in the game. Do I hear a petition for adding potato chips?

    Solution: Food synthesiser appliance.

    Wall-mounted unit that requires a variety of biomass to make Nutrient Blocks. Makes growing stuff viable again.

    However, bear in mind it only takes one whine of "It's way too OP!" to kill an idea like this.

    Example: Woefully nerfed Lantern Fruit, et. al.


    Since the Aurora had those blocks and we get our technology from the ship that makes perfect sense! :)

    I'll throw my vote into the mix for more veggie options too
  • HerugrimHerugrim The Poconos Join Date: 2016-08-15 Member: 221402Members
    We should be able to make nutrient blocks for the road. The formula should probably be big since they are so effective, maybe require a sample from numerous plants and some kind of chemical preservative that is hard to make.

    Why? There's already several different plants one can eat to get to 100% on both food and hydration without suffering from "blood loss detected"

    But not in early game and even less so in the future, based on current predictions.

    Kelp is the only flora you can eat early on and it's not a viable food source. Sporesacks are the next best thing, but rather out of the way. Koosh and land-flora are the final step and require several days of preparation before you're good to go. Anything to start a farm with them is equally KZ, FI, or STP material, and that's not taking into account that in the future we might need sea treader poop and other components to start a farm.

    This isn't to say I wouldn't want edible plants late game - it would be kinda funny if yummy grew in the ALZ. But I do need something extra on Level Kelp. I think I've already said once I'd like for one to grow on top of the pillars in the GP. A bean-like plant or something.

    Where are the spore sacks? I cannot find them anywhere.

    At the side of the Aurora there is a rift through the Shallows. It's more towards the south. In there are caves with Quartz and some of them have Spore Pods.

    Why does it talk about blood, though? Throwing up after gorging makes perfect sense.

    I suppose there are... limited nice ways of telling the player they puked. Maybe "Your over-full stomach spasms, time to swab the deck!" B)

    Haha, just get the voice to say "Deck contamination detected, initiating cleaning routine." Or something.





    ...You know you want to make a player-puking animation. ;)

    Job Simulator for the HTC Vive has an upchuck animation when you ingest too much. And our character already coughs/gags when surfacing with critical air supply, and bleeds when attacked by fish...

    ...Just sayin'. :o

    Why are the lantern fruits so darn big? I can see eating 3 fruits, a potto, a marblemelon, a slice or two of bulb tree with some kelp as a varied vegetarian meal, but everything takes up such a huge amount of inventory space. Can we shrink those? It's not like we can abuse them since they rot in 20 seconds ish. >.<

    It's because they're seeds.

    Umm, when is the last time you saw fruit seeds that big? Hehe.
