When I first start the game, I get thirsty and hungry as normal and have to drink and eat. When called away (or doing laundry), I exit to the main menu and leave the game in that state until I return.
Re-entering testlive in single-player (no mods), I do not need food or drink and my thirst and hunger indicator both remain at 100%. Upon taking damage, I still need to eat to regenerate health, but not to sate my hunger.
At least for my particular setup, this is repeatable and has happened 5 days in a row, several times each day. That’s when I first noticed it.
Can it be that you have disabled it as an admin (similar to god mod) and now it is stuck to disabled? Get admin rights, enable, disable, enable and see whether anything changes.
Narelle, thanks for the response, helpful as ever, you are
My active consumption is set at 0.3, AFK is set at 0.1 and eating is enabled in the admin panel. I followed your suggestion, disabling/relogging/enabling/relogging and it persists.
