Oh, ok!  That makes so much more sense.  Thanks for clarifying. 

So, a higher benchmark for overeating affecting the character sprite, then?

Hm.  Progression could be as follows:

[...]

A big concern:  Obese character models would decisively need to be very different than any sort of pregnancy depiction to avoid unintentional encouragement of matricide.  How to do this?  I'm not sure.  We don't have either at the moment.  Pregnant models or Obese models.  I'm just scared of the ethical ramifications.  Maybe a simple mouse-over status tag.  For example 'Eve Jones, (Status:Expecting)'.  Or, 'Eve Jones, (Status: Famished).  'Eve Jones, (Status:Chubby)'.  Mouse-over status would alleviate the pressure on character modelling?  But that would require carrot sponges to stand still, which I don't think they want to do... haha.

(I also really like the idea of facial expressions being an involuntary sign that someone is dying of hunger... or some way of using non verbal gestures to communicate.  That's been discussed in other threads, however.)

I like cooking.  I feel like the village I'm in always somehow runs out of food if I'm not actively working in the food industry, and cooking is more interesting and generally more needed than farming.

If you over eat (waste) you make a loud burping noise, maybe the arrow points at you.
Range (+volume?) increases the larger the pips of waste eating you do.
This would alert us to the carrot sponges of the world as they will be burping like ALL THE TIME.
It is also funny.

Bonus points:

Lady burps for female characters, I am sure we can get people to volunteer sound samples <3 if need be

i actually hate dying as i type my last words and dont really like to lose 5 minutes by talking, realyl would be nice to spell out a sentence before death

would help new players, dont need to be op, and forever, but some starving animation, you collapse, you crawl, you got a chance, next time you die like now
or you could lose 5 years of life, so any time your hunger bar reaches 0 your life expectancy drops, which kills you eventually
people could choose not to help you or even picking up all food before you reach it, for example having 5 seconds to crawl and eat or die. you could say something or try to survive

as for obesity, slowdown would be powerful enough to convince people to avoid it
moving X tiles could make you normal again

i would like some visual indication if somebody is starving

lot of times in history, obesity was sign of wealth and health, as you had enough food to sustain yourself and be resilient to illness (yeah a bit of fat helps against illness and stress)
of course too much is bad, while i would like different playstyles, you can stay home and dont care about being slow
or be very skinny but bit faster at run, or just normal, would add some extra strategy to game, uniqueness of characters, and you could talk to new players who dont understand how food works, yesterday my baby girl  munched a carrot 2 seconds after grew hair
and ofc im mad and tell her, then she quits
probably better off without her, especially i had others, but the amount of food wasted is an issue

Maybe food remnants? and we could use it up somehow? feed to animals, of course it would clutter the place anyway but maybe would remind people not to do that

Yeah I see it now I think. I am pretty sure that given bare chances of breaking on each use (not >after each use<) summing them up to 100% would give the average. I am aware that I might be wrong there but for the moment can't find a reason why wouldn't it be.

It never sums up to 100%, that's the point.  Think about it as tossing a coin.  Are 5 tosses enough to be sure that you had at least 3 tails?  Of couse not.  Will 10 be enough?  Well, not always.  If you've tossed 100 times, you still could've got all heads.  It's just very very very unlikely.  But can happen.  It's never enough.

Nope, maybe I wrote the title of table wrong.  It's probability that it will break at this use or some earlier one.  And 100% is a limit at inifinity.  For skewer with 50% chance of use, it's equivalent to tossing a coin.  So the question is, what probability is of having at least 3 tails in x throws.

it be nice to have low fences for things like geese n rabbits too. something an adult can walk over but keeps animals or babies trapped

been proposed

my idea:
collapse when starving, others could save you
obesity would make you move slower
you would need to go below half food meter to lose weight
also skinny characters when u starve from normal and saved, then must be full to turn normal
this would be a team play save mechanic

obesity should be good for moms, like they would lose heat slower
and collapsing wouldnt immobilize you just lose the bonus

and ofc i would have visual indication on sponges
