lowering food and water

[Ekcin 2,409]

Often it is annoying not to be able to go on drinking and eating, be it for timed affinities, or quaffing alcoholics.

 

I would suggest the introduction of emetic, laxative, and diuretic plants and herbs, which may be cooked or otherwise prepared into appropriate medicines. 

Possible plants would be ipecac (plant to be foraged) as a nauseant, dandelion (herb) for a laxative tea (fennel and cumin could be used as well),    juniper berries (new bush to be introduced or just forage) as diuretics,  also horsetail (herb to be botanized).

 

The medicines could be produced through alchemy/NS, maybe after chopping, pressing, mixing  etc., or processed through cooking, or a combination of all. Also, dilution in alcoholics, and distilling could be a way of producing. The end product should be small amounts of concentrated liquids, or possibly pills (new tool for alchemy?).

 

The effect of emetics should be lowering of food and, to a lesser extent, health, of laxatives lowering water, and also somewhat health, of diuretics strong loss of water, and strong loss of health (up to death) once water at zero.

WTB tapewurm to lower foodbar

Anyway you can drink booze even at 100% water so only the food one would be needed

New building type "vomitarium".

 

Maybe just have eating stop when you are full, and if you try to eat again with food above 98% or something there is a warning about the negative health effects of over-eating and a confirmation before continuing.  Then you go on eating but at the cost of some health (would require the creation of a new body-injury of a type that cannot be treated but only heals slowly over time).  If you want to get immersive about it, then you should also take a hit to all three body characteristics, without any of the 3x recovery dynamic.

 

Or, here is a thought, let's NOT have bulimia in the game.
