Body Mass

[vancopower]

ANelson, has inspired me to present this idea about having a body mass tracker same as Hunger, thirst fatigue and cold trackers. Here it is how it will work:

You start with full meter same as the others. Every time your hunger tracker gets 75% depleted you will loose body mass starting slow and increasing as you get close to 100% depletion, which will result again with 1% loss in health when you are starving and major Body mass depletion rate. Now in order to fill up body mass you need to keep your hunger above 50% and to be active sleeping does not increase body mass (representing you are not putting on muscle when you sleep) if you are at 100% hunger bar filled you gain body mass fast, now for the effect.

The effect of having 100% body mass is:

1. You fight wolves much easier and they damage you less. Together with fatigue, body mass determines your wolf fighting strength in melee.

2. your carrying capacity also is increased as you have more body mass.

3. The drawback of having more body mass is you get slower, and stamina depletes faster.

Also the opposite is true: you are weaker in wolf fights with lower body mass, the carrying capacity is lower but you can run faster and sprint longer.

Also there should be some craft able equipment for working out to increase body mass like, making jumping rope or improvised dumbbells or the option to make push ups which will provide few degrees of warmth also
