Topic on User talk:Harakoni

Hi Harakoni, I'm a modder and I was looking for an answer to this myself. I couldn't find anything, but I did see that you asked the same question on your User page. So I said to myself, that if I figured it out, I'd let you know. Lo and behold, here we are.

I'll give you a high level summary of what I've found. Hunger is calculated as: HungerRate = BaseHungerRateFactor * HungerRateFactor * BackstoryHungerRateFactor * HungerRateMultiplier With the following: BaseHungerRateFactor = RaceBaseHungerRate * LifeStageHungerRateFactor HungerRateFactor = product(Hediffs.HungerRateFactor) + sum(Hediffs.hungerRateFactorOffset)

Eg: A Gourmet (1.5) Human (base 1.6) pawn with a reprocessor stomach (0.75) and a psychic hunger (+0.5) persona weapon sleeping in a bed connected to a sleep accelerator (1.2) will have: 1.6 * (0.75+0.5) * 1.5 * 1.2

So to break down in human terms: HungerRateMultiplier is a global modifier that is taken into account after all other modifiers. These multipliers are added together (though currently the only HungerRateMultiplier in the game is the Sleep Accelerator). Backstory ignores offsets. HungerRateFactorOffset have a huge say in the hunger rate of your pawn and are capable of supercharging or crippling your pawn. HungerRateFactors are multiplicative and as such, get less efficient the more buffs of that type you get.

Wow. Taking the time to explain it to me is already kind, but remembering and going out of your way to let me know based on a question I left myself on my user page is next level. Thank you, that is very appreciated!

But also that is perfect, I'll need a good block of spare time to implement the pages I'll need for this, and to update the other pages (Persona weapon, Traits etc) that will have new information based on this, but you've told me basically everything I need to do it. Thank you again!

That comes off weirdly sarcastic in text, but I promise that it isn't. I really appreciate it.

I didn't find it so, glad it was helpful :)
