We appreciate your feedback, however we require additional information about your issue.
Did you sprint after that?
Was you ill (some illnesses requires more drinking)?
This both things affects thirst and hunger, so if you are ill and/or you will sprint it will makes you thirsty/hungry much faster.

You do not have to do anything. I login and my guy wants water and head is throbbing. It is the debug messages that are messed up they are just repeating and repeating. I am experiencing the same thing, its like spam honestly. I wish we had just our old icons back nice and small and clean in the bottom right hand corner. As these messages are good and all, they would need filters to filter out the meaningless stuff. It is impossible to know how much water you need or want same with food. I hope this helps. I feel like not enough info is being outputted. Maybe something like You are hungry food level at 50% and then you eat and its like Food level at 75% and so on. You get the idea.

I've seen and seem to realise that the messages pop up as soon asyour thirst/hunger bar starts going down. For instance, I've had had times where I had just drank 2 sodas and it told me I was fine but soon after (as in a few seconds) it told me I was feeling thirsty/mouth was feeling dry. Same goes for food! This also happening just after spawning/moving around (not sprinting for the most part!).

My detailed story below

My character kept giving me warnings that he was thirsty "My mouth feels dry", "I need something to drink", "I am thirsty". I was in a town and made my way to a water pump. Drank my canteen 2-3 times and received a green text notification saying "My thirst has been quenched". I proceed to fill my canteen backup to full and began crouching my way out of the town. Not 20 slow moving (not fast) crouch paces and my character reported "I am thirsty"

In another instance, my character reported that he was hungry. I proceeded to eat a banana and receive the notice "My hunger has been satisfied". Not 4 seconds after that my character reported that he was hungry.

I hope this detail helps.

can confirm this.. even with after fresh respawn (definitly not sick), i get spammed with hunger and thirst messages (without sprinting). as mentioned above, i guess you get a notification with the slightes change in hunger/thirst stats

Confirm to. Upon spawning instantly hungry thirsty exhausted feel faint and not even moved lol, bring back the icons :)or the panting/tummy rumbling etc

Drink more. Find a water pump and drink and drink and drink. Then you can walk for miles without drinking.

Dont understand why you need more information. Even if you sprinted for the 30 seconds the notification stays active on your screen, your telling me that from a fully quenched thirst no matter what the conditions you should be thirsty again?

And this drink more stuff is garbage. If your at a water pump, and thirsty. I should be able to drink once until my thirst is fully quenched... not this over and over bs until I am "full"

Its not like filling a gastank, if you have an unlimited water source you should be able to drink once, and be full.

Yup, me too. If we're going to have a real-life, 24 hour game clock, then characters shouldn't need to eat and drink every ten minutes.

@komin - I am unable to assign the primary report to you. Once that has been done this report can be closed as a duplicate.

Im unsure how a duplicate was created. To my knowledge I only created one! Sorry for hassle/confusion

People don't understand the system. It works fine IMO, you don't spawn with full health/thirst and no one understands that coming from the mod where you spawn with 100%/100%.

@Magnet: In fact that bug is duplicate of this, because this is the first issue related to thirst/hunger.

@dator: You did everything right, problem is elsewhere. But i will have to still close this as duplicate, because that issue (#414) has much more responses etc. Sorry for that and thank you for your feedback.

@suplayas: Thats right, you can spawn thirsty or hungry.
