Mechanics

Hunger is passively depleted over time and can be regained by eating Food. Different foods have different fullness value, and eating higher fullness foods means the player will be full for a longer period of time despite the hunger bar only having 3 indicators. Note - Being in a Starving or Hungry state will not damage or otherwise deplete your health.

Harvesting activities do not deplete hunger faster, but being hungry gives a 50% penalty to the odds of a successful harvest. Hungry heavily affects combat as an empty hunger bar leads to combat penalties. The first penalty being a 20% penalty to hit chance, and the second penalty being a 20% penalty to damage. An non-full hunger bar also prevents natural passive regeneration of HP, Mana, and Focus (where regeneration values are 0). A full hunger bar is needed to have passive regeneration.
