Bed roll hunger

[betosan]

I just wanted to suggest that the bed roll makes you less hungry than you would be without the bed roll.. incentive to purchase it.

I think the idea is that you don't use it, at survive the night instead, that's why is not a "cheap" option, hunger-speaking.

It doesn't really matter though because the straw roll vanishes after one use and you gotta collect it again.

To suffer from hunger as a means to cut through the night is a bad taste.

You are already using up 12 grass to make one, and to rely on it constantly will cut your grass supply further.

So why suffer from huge hunger loss?

[Royal]

Right, unless I'm full I try not to use it. Because of the hunger. That's the trade off, you'll make it through the night without using lumber to burn for a fire or whatever but you'll be far more hungry when you awake. Well not far more, it's not that bad really.

[betosan]

You are right. i just dont see the point in using it then except for if you are out of supplies to make fire.

[Royal]

I frequently use it when I have a minimal amount of wood that I want to use for something but have my tummy full. Or on nights where I'm too far out from base. I simply take the sleep roll and a ration of food, eat up at evening then have a little sleep unafraid of the darkness.

Given that you don't need a light source to make it through the night in the sleep roll, that was my initial impression of it's desired use.

In what way does the bed roll protect you from the monsters in the darkness? Seems a bit odd that you aren't slaughtered while sleeping without a light source.

[Royal]

Well, it works. It may be a bug or a sploit but it's how it happens.

[Palpetinus]

Wouldn't it be logic to get less hungry when sleeping, because you are resting after all?

[dra6o0n]

mandrakes does the same thing when cook, minus the hunger.

[LadyD]

Mandrake is magical.

The bedroll originally didnt take away ANY hunger. And It just didn't work. It was too easy to just sleep away the night all the time. It didnt work out. It was OP.

So they fixed in the hunger again. It is logical and it makes the use of the bedroll to get through the night cost about the right amount of effort for what you gain from it.

Palpetinus is right! with the less hunger thing and rather then go into the boring details about why that you could look up on a wiki somewhere. Ill just mention that its sort of like the 'child under the blankets' so your more hungry because you spent all night awake and shivering under a blanket as all manner of horrors crawled around outside your bag. Personally though I just toss the 12 grass on the campfire and research stuff, make tools for the next day, or harvest barries or grass from nearby crops.
