Reduce the satiation gained from Healing and *Healing*

[Nick]

Isn't there already a mechanism for bringing the hunger meter down? I mean Satisfy Hunger.

That only increases hunger meter to 50% - if it's above 50 it stays unchanged (and it's now called Remove Hunger ).

Ah, ok then. I vaguely remember some discussion on it. Change the name to "Normalize Satiation", set the hunger meter always to 50% and you're done .

Slow digestion could be changed to improved digestion and double burn food when over a certain limit. That would be helpful instead of near curse

This is the suggestion that I like the most among the ones I have seen here. In addition, one could make Slow Digestion a bit more rare in artifacts, so that having it or not becomes a meaningful choice.

For players short of food and not wanting to leave a level, I think the idea of having some potions which nourish (and there are a few others!) and some which don't has some potential for fun.

Sure, and thematically maybe !Life is much smaller than !CLW (though they weigh the same) or is made of non-nourishing fairy dust or whatever. But I think identical nourishment across the board is more "realistic" as well as more thematic and more importantly I just don't think it's worth the player attention's attention to have to Inspect potions for their Nutritional Facts Label, potion of Slime Juice aside.

Angband 3.5.0 released!

• Radically improve Slow Digestion (you nearly never need to eat with it).

Can we start with reverting this one?

Oh, almost missed it,

• Remove Gorged status if you eat too much food.

Apparently, Nick feels we should all puke just before going into battle with Morgoth.

How players want to face Morgoth

In the absence of what might be called sensible discussion, I'm going with option 2:

!*Healing* has no food value, !Healing does 1%

The re-working of slow digestion I think would not address the problem all that well; also note that slow digestion was recently significantly reduced in effect.

[DavidMedley]

That's a good solution

[Voovus]

I'm with wobbly on this one.

If you must have hunger and gorged status, maybe make Slow Digestion stop your food level ever changing, up or down. Call it Indigestion...

[DavidMedley]

That sounds like a cool upgrade to Slow Digestion, at least mechanically. You're treated like you're always at 90% fed. The programmer would have to decide what happens when you put it on and take it off.

Thematically it seems a bit off, though. I don't recall any interesting stories with this as an element.

Well. Maybe we should have an new action definied in Angband...
Lake take a shit
It will leave exrement item on floor, with... can actually aggrevate monsters..

[Grotug]

I think !Life should have the same effect as reading a scroll of remove hunger. If you're hungry, it will take you to 50%. If you have more than 50% it will have no effect. Healing and !*healing* could have the same idea, except only nourish if less than 50% fed.

why would monsters be aggro? how would they know it came from player?
why am I responding to this?

Well, some time ago, there was a discussion of having different monster types using different pathfinding methods to reach the player. If that were ever implemented, we could make it that taking a dump aggros scent-tracking monsters but does nothing for others. But overall, it is indeed a silly suggestion.
