Hungry Viking

Your character knows they're hungry. You should too.

This mod was inspired by a humiliating and infuriating death that ended a zero-death solo run. I was in my base cooking when all of a sudden - YOU DIED! Why did I die? All my food buffs had expired and I didn't notice, and I was getting smoked by the campfire as I cooked. And this is to say nothing of many of us who have needlessly died because of entering battle with a critical food buff missing.

Some will say I should have noticed and it's on me - fair enough - but I say it's not realisic that you can be starving and not notice it. Hence the design of this mod - it doesn't eat for you automatically - it just makes sure you notice when you're hungry.

What This Mod Does

Adds escalating visual warnings when your food buffs approach expiry. It does not eat for you. It does not automate anything. It respects your agency completely — it just makes sure you know what your character knows.

Screen vignette — an amber glow creeps in from the screen edges as your hungriest food slot ticks down. Intensity and extent are configurable. The vignette oscillates to draw your eye: slow pulse at first, faster as urgency increases.
On-screen label — "You are starting to feel hungry." → "You are getting hungry." → "You are hungry." The text color shifts from orange toward red as urgency rises.
HUD status icon — a Hungry icon appears in the same row as Rested and Shelter, so you can spot hunger state at a glance without reading the label.

All effects are off when you have 3 full food slots. Warnings begin when your hungriest slot crosses the configurable threshold (default 90 seconds remaining).

Configuration

Open BepInEx/config/DeathMonger.HungryViking.cfg to adjust settings.

Setting	Default	Description
Enabled	`true`	Master toggle for all effects
Show Status Icon	`true`	Show/hide the Hungry HUD icon
Hunger Threshold (seconds)	`90`	Seconds remaining when warnings begin
Vignette Intensity	`0.20`	Max edge opacity (0–1)
Vignette Extent	`0.50`	How far the vignette reaches toward center (0–1)

Console Commands

Open the console with F5. Run devcommands first — all hv_ commands require cheats to be active.

Command	Description
`hv_foodstatus`	Print name and remaining time for each food slot
`hv_drainfood <slot> [seconds]`	Subtract seconds from one slot (default 60s)
`hv_drainfoods [seconds]`	Subtract seconds from all slots (default 60s)
`hv_setfoodtime <slot> <seconds>`	Set a slot to exactly X seconds remaining
`hv_clearfood`	Instantly remove all food buffs

Slot numbers are 1, 2, or 3.

Example test flow:

Eat 3 foods, then hv_foodstatus to confirm all slots are tracked.
hv_setfoodtime 1 91 — slot 1 is 1 second above the threshold.
Wait ~2 seconds — amber vignette and label should fade in.
hv_clearfood — all slots empty, full-urgency vignette and "You are hungry." label appear immediately.

Compatibility

Compatible with food-adding mods (detects expiry on any food buff)
