Food Consumption Analysis
I think there may be another bug. Now, regarding food consumption rate. I wanted to see if the amount of food consumption a pal shows is linear or not. For example, is it better to have 2 pals with 1 food consumption or 1 pal with 2 food consumption.
It was not an extensive test, but I think I can conclude some things. If anyone wants to try to repeat…
Basically, I took a specific pal around and observed the hunger decay and timed it. I found a few things:
- Pal level is not important: ex, a pal level 1 will decay the same amount if it is level 10.
- Hunger decay is linear: ex, decaying from 100 to 90 is the same as 80 to 70.
- Time of day is not important, unless they are sleeping.
- Pal activity matters: ex, an idle pal will get hungrier slower than a working pal. Like common sense would show.
What I was not able to conclude:
- How much faster a working pal will get hungrier than an idle pal. Too hard to determine how much work they are doing.
- Does SAN matter? Probably, but didnt look into that.
- Relationship between different food consumption rates. Ex, how much faster a 5x consumption rate pal will get hungrier than a 1x consumption rate. Doesnt seem to be linear nor consistent as well (bug?).
Here is the data. I stopped the work because I think I found a bug and therefore it would be a waste of time to continue. Please let me know what you think:
Premises:
- No pals have passive stats related to food.
- No pal was left hungry after the tests.
- The “From”, “To” and “Diff” indicates the amount of hunger units they change during the test. The “Time per food” (Time/Diff) is the important number we are looking at.
- Ignore the first two lines as the pals were working at the base, so the numbers are not accurate.
