Hunger Pangs
Visual hunger warnings that escalate as your food buffs approach expiry. No gameplay changes — pure notification.
Features
- Screen vignette — amber glow creeps in from the screen edges as your hungriest food slot ticks down. Intensity and extent are configurable. The vignette oscillates to draw your eye: slow pulse at first, faster as urgency increases.
- On-screen label — "You are starting to feel hungry" → "You are getting hungry." → "You are hungry." The text color shifts from orange toward red as urgency rises.
- HUD status icon — a "Hungry" icon appears in the same row as Rested and Shelter, so you can spot hunger state at a glance without reading the label.
All effects are off when you have 3 full food slots. Warnings begin when your hungriest slot crosses the configurable threshold (default 90 seconds remaining).
