Time Settings and Hunger settings

[Lingam]

Hi there!

Vintage Story is awesome! I really enjoy it and I understand it is "early access" Here are a few requests / suggestions / observations

1. 12 Hour Time option - I would love to be able to change settings to 12 hour time, I just don't think in "Military Time" as we call it..
2. We die from hunger a bit too fast - Please consider some system where if we are fattened up a bit we can "fast" for longer time without dying, but perhaps be weakened, and be slower but still have time to slowly get back home and eat. Takes many weeks to die of hunger IRL..
3. Critters get stuck in block corners - I noticed that rabbits and other very small critters get stuck in corners trying to keep running forward.. Perhaps this is as designed? otherwise I'd probably never be successful at Rabbit hunting
 

Thank you - hope it was OK to list a few things all in one post.

I don't think this would be a good addition to the vanilla game, as it would make things way too easy. Sure, the system we have now isn't 100% realistic, but the idea is to maintain a sense of realism while still providing a challenge to the player. If the player could simply go days or weeks without eating, then there's suddenly no need to worry about maintaining a food supply for the winter, or managing supplies for a long adventure.

However, should a player want to have that kind of gameplay option...the good news is that there's already a mod for it! https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/10343

Though whether or not the mod works with 1.20, I'm not sure.

Probably not intended, and will most likely be fixed in the future as code for creature pathfinding improves.

The nutrition system already does this by increasing your maximum HP.
