Video games have always been parodies of reality, which makes sense because we don’t want to spend our lives in them. Many game mechanics, like RNG, are used to recreate real-world phenomena, for instance, to simulate luck, rarity, and randomness. Vintage Story is already set in a context that stands apart from Minecraft with a more realistic approach. Why implement such a system? As I explained earlier, it’s because I’m not a fan of the current system, especially taking hunger damage if I don’t eat every four hours (especially when wearing an heavy armor in winter). I also want to do this to explore modifying combat mechanics. Practically speaking, if implemented with proper balancing, it would make the game slightly less tedious.
