food and supplies while on patrol in sh5?

[Trool323]

It's probably allready been mentioned but food and supplies while on patrol needs to be coded for SH5. No subsim since Sub Battle Simulator on dos has done that as far as I know. In sh3 and sh4 you can go on and on 6 months or more while on patrol and never get hungry..lol..

In SH5, crew morale is the deciding factor; the longer you stay on patrol, the more affected the crew is, and the less you are able to demand that “extra mile” from them. The morale system takes into account many modifiers that represent factors such as the “longing for home”, exhaustion, lack of food, while we chose not to bother the player, the U-Boat captain, with mundane tasks such as managing the food inventory.

I agree with the devs on this one. I'm a captain. Don't bother me with food supply management garbage. That's the quartermaster/navigator's job.

Then it appears they've addressed exactly that by having crew morale decrease as time spent on patrol increases.

How about something visual akin to what DivingDuck has created for his open hatch mod.......the food could be closely aligned to fuel consumption and disappear bit by bit, therefore giving the impression it has been eaten.

no way, i dont want to read a year long thread on how the bananas are curved the wrong way or the grapefruit shouldnt be that color.

realism is nice but i dont want to see the toilet paper in the head either even if it should be seen in real life
