Stomach feels stuffed - dieing of starvation
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

A buddy of me had this weird conflicting hunger messages a couple of days ago. We were trying to meet up somewhere and even though he had food and was eating it, his character kept feeling hungry. When we finally found eachother, I started force feeding him. I gave him about 2-3 full cans of food but his character was still "Dieing of starvation" and his screen had no colour anymore.

I've asked him to take screenshots of the messages from when they started to conflict up to when I force fed him. {F29236} {F29237} {F29238} {F29239} {F29240} {F29241} {F29242}

Steps To Reproduce

Unknown, it just happened randomly and none of us had ever seen it.

Additional Information

When looking at his inventory, "Hungry" was dark orange when I started feeding him. The "Hungry" status dissapeared, but the status messages did not change.

From what i understand this is not a bug, it is intended that your hunger is dictated by energy and your stomach can be filled with liquid and food. So it is possible to have a stomach filled with water and die of hunger.

raxbit: My friend did drink a lot, but during his whole trip back he didn't eat or drink anything. When I drink a lot, the full stomach messages dissapear after a few minutes. In his case they were still popping up after half an hour.

Did he ever vomit?

I had the same problem with always being "stuffed". However mine is slightly different I was at a well, I drunk till I was "Hydrated" showed up in green. Then "stuffed" showed up. I thought ok, fair enough. Then 5mins "Hungry". I had food, this didn't affect it at all when I was eating. I had a can of drink, then this cleared it. I managed to live on drinks for a good 3 hours of game play. Not once I didn't eat food after the first food I ate. Do you want me to fill a report in ? I wasn't sure not to as its been reported about the new food/drink system.

I'd like to add that I have a similar related issue with the healing status not going away, same as the stuffed status.I've been both healthy and healing for a long time now.

Hi JackDant,

First of all thank you for making this job a bit less thankless :)

You are correct when you say that the issues are not exactly the same, however, they are both linked and will be fixed at the same time.

I have chosen this report as the primary because it contained the most information relevant to fixing the problem. The fact he was starving to death despite being stuffed was simply the "stuffed" icon not going away with the hunger mechanics still working correctly.

Either way, this issue has been fixed internally and will be live with the next update to the public versions of the game.

Once again we thank you guys for your help identifying this problem.

First, many thanks to Accolyte for the hard work of looking over the tracker. It was direly needed and I realize it's a thankless job.

However, I think there has been a mistake: A lot of bug reports have been closed as duplicate of this one, which is wrong (#7927 #7950 #7828 etc).

The current build has an issue where the "stuffed" status never dissapears, even after you are no longer stuffed. This has been acknowledged by rocket (https://twitter.com/Rocket2guns/statuses/431219001172455424). That's a bug.

This report relates to the apparently conflicting messages of being both stuffed and starving. This is a design issue (confusing naming of stomach vs hunger vs energy levels), not a bug per se, and not related to the sticky stuffed status.

Hey guys,

thanks for the reports. We will look into this!
