Test: Hunger and thirst effect for normal running

[severin]

I've tested hunger and thirst for normal running (thank you, big pile of dirt). Weight and energy-bar level was the same for all the tests. I'm wearing my normal day and night armour. Tests was done with full energy to completely empty (character gasping for air).

Here are the results.
Hunger and thirst bars empty: 6:26 minutes to empty energy bar.
Hunger and thirst bars 3/4 full: 11:36 minutes to empty energy bar.
Hunger 3/4 full, thirst empty: 8:56 minutes to empty energy bar.
Hunger empty, thirst 3/4 full: 7:56 minutes to empty energy bar.

Thanks for the info. I havnt tested it since the new changes. I hope they have more effects later too.
Looks about 2x the effect for having thirst and food bars at 3/4ths.

Great info. Great test. Thanks for the FYI. I've noticed this really affects you when teraforming also.

I assume the toons STR, FORT and AGI will affect this also.

Great data. Thanks for the test.

Your next assignment, should you decide to accept it, will be to test regen from an empty energy bar with various hunger/thirst levels.

Of course, should you be killed or captured I will disavow any knowledge of your mission.

Thanks, Ravelli, hehe.

I have just tested energy regeneration. Tests was done from the point where my character stopped gasping for air to full regeneration of the energy bar. My results are as follows.

Naked (no clothes, weapons or bags), lying down:
Hunger and thirst bars empty: 1:31 minutes to full energy
Hunger 3/4 and thirst 3/4 full: 1:31 minutes to full energy

Day and night armour on plus weapons,fish and a spade:
Hunger 3/4 and thirst 3/4 full: 1:31 minutes to full energy

Day and night armour on etc, sitting down.
Hunger 3/4 and thirst 3/4 full: 2:16 minutes to full energy

Excellent work.

Now they just need to effects for comfort, "home", etc.

Thanks for the tests!
These are important information and though most of use expected something like that - its very nice to have a prove for the suspicion.

Great work man!
