Changes: Hunger

Revision as of 08:25, 20 February 2020

Hunger is one of the hidden values all slimes have which determines which standard facial expression they will assume, including in relation to their agitation values. Eating food lowers a slime's agitation, so keeping a slime fed is the most guaranteed way to avoid negative behaviours from occurring. Slimes do not die from not being fed for extended periods of time, and unlike Agitation, there are no external modifiers for slowing down Hunger.

Hunger is completely disabled within The Slimeulation, so no slimes in the area will eat food. Gordo Slimes are a special case and will consume all foods in its diet until burst.

Mechanics

Note: While times may vary due to agitation and hunger levels, these times are approximate to a slime that was previously well-fed and has no Slime Toys or a Music Box.


Facial expression	Explanation
Elated	The Slime is fully fed and happy, and will not seek out food.
Happy	Its face will decay to "Happy" approximately 6 hours after its last feed, and will start seeking food.
Hungry	The slime has gone another 12 hours - or 18 overall - without food, and decayed to "Hungry". Hungry slimes may have already started performing their negative behaviors - or passive behaviors more often, if applicable.
Agitated	The slime has gone 29 hours without food, and is agitated. Agitated slimes will perform their negative behaviors - or passive behaviors significantly more often, if applicable.

A hungry pure slime will eat three pieces of food before it is satisfied regardless of whether the food is its favorite, and a Largo will eat two. Feral Slimes will always eat food regardless of hunger, and will obey their own hunger value once they have been calmed; so a fully fed feral slime will eat to calm down, but not immediately after.

Trivia

A feral slime will always eat regardless of hunger, and a Hunter Largo can go feral when highly agitated. It is possible to force them to go feral by shooting Fire Slimes at them, then feeding them again to calm them down to produce more plorts.
Gold Slimes and Lucky Slimes are susceptible to hunger and agitation like any other slime. Due to the nature of their rarity and despawning mechanics, this does not normally come into play under normal circumstances.
Hungry and Agitated slimes will not show the characteristic scared face of a slime experiencing Fear, but will still try to flee the source of their Fear.

-The Hunger mechanic dictates whether or not the slime will seek out and attempt to eat [[food]]. A fully fed and happy slime will have an open mouth expression, internally referred to as "Elated", and will not seek out food. After 6 in-game hours from its last feed, its facial expression will decay to a closed smile, "Happy"; it is at this point it will begin seeking out food. If it continues going without feeding, its facial expression will decay further to a hungry face, "Starving", and finally enter a grumpy state, "Angry". A slime can go into a starving state in around 18 hours, and a starving pure slime will eat three pieces of food before it is satisfied regardless of whether the food is its favorite, and a [[Largo Slimes|Largo]] will eat two.
