It’s a temporary fix. Proper vault balancing is part of a bigger rework of the siege system

Please fix the thrall health resetting issue prior to this going live. we will lose all our thralls if not fixed. i have some 40+ thralls at my base, and they all go back to 100 health on restart. doubt i can get food to them all if not fixed prior to this update.

Been sitting here for a good hour or so, constantly reloading the Midnight Grove, The panther boss seems to be a flip of the coin if it spawns, while the second boss just does not spawn at all, I’m 30+ tries in and not once has he spawned.
I think that feeding feature is nice but it’s a pain in the ■■■ for SP playing. Thralls eat only special meat and it’s hard to get it. I killed 2 elephants what resulted in 16 exotic meat. Getting exquisite meat is almost impossible. And the chance to get a fish is really small with the new mechanic with 100 bugs I catched 3 fish. The mechanics need some balancing.
I also recommend creating some new animation or something cause watching at thrall exploding with blood and split in half because of hunger is funny but not immersive

All but 2 of my thralls died before I figured out that they wont just eat food, it has to be SPECIFIC food. When can we expect this to change?

I’m not on Testlive; do all thralls eat the same things? That’s a shame if they do - giving lower-tier factions less exacting dietary needs seems like a very obvious way of making them actually an alternative to “just lvl 3 and named Votaries”. E.g., desperate Exiles should eat just about anything, and, well, Darfari Cannibals should obviously be all too happy to eat human flesh, but proud, finicky Forgotten Tribe and Votary Thralls want thick, heavy high-end meat…

Type of food they eat is dependent on their role. Fighters and archers eat same 3 types of food and entertainers eat different. It doesn’t matter what tier they are.

I have passed on info from Testlive players to my clanmates. And right now I’m literally in tears. Despite other problems, Conan Exiles is likely my favorite game. We play it every single day. But my entire clan has threatened to quit if this food system goes live.
I beg you to convince the devs to reconsider. Make it so thralls and pets only consume food when not inside a land claim. Back when you said mistakenly how that’s how it worked, you even liked my reply that it would still serve as a method to kill off abandoned thralls.
I’m about to log in and play… it’s purge window time. But right now, my enthusiasm is utterly gone… what’s the point, if I’m going to be deleting the game after the next big update…

Actually, come to think of it, making all factions of thralls eat the same (fairly demanding) food is awful because it doesn’t sound like low-level players will be able to obtain food to feed them with. Early-faction thralls are already unattractive; this sounds like it’ll make them entirely obsolete and quite possibly make it impossible for players to keep combat thralls before level 30 or so - maybe 40.

On lvl 35 I’m able to keep 2 fighters and one entertainer. If I want more I wouldn’t have time to do anything besides hunting for food for them.

This system cannot go live, period. I can’t see any number of thralls even surviving overnight at the rate being described. The bare minimum for my clans to keep playing would be a stack of any type of food feeding any one thrall for the length of the decay timer.

Ok…What the fuc…why would thralls need different food?..

The timers for food is WAY too short. It would require logging in every day and filling each thralls inventory with top tier food at current timer levels. This is worrisome mostly because of offline purges. We need a fair amount of thralls to defend our bases due to not always being on when a purge occurs, and it is very prohibitive to need to fill each thralls inventory (and buffet) with roasted haunch every day without fail. We don’t need that much food, so why should they?
Speaking of food, What the heck does a rhino eat? Apparently not seeds, fiber, lotus flowers, bugs, or gruel.

What a turn of events! So now you actually need to be high level to maintain that army of thralls!
Way to go Funcom! I knew you would not disappoint!
Waiting on the requirements of bed and living space for thralls, seens like the foundations are well laid out, there is even an interface counting how many thralls are in the vicinity.
Only downside is crafting thralls dont count, yet. It’s not viable to have all that work only for fighters, archers and dancers. The crafters should be turned into full thralls with inventory and stuff. It’s just a matter of adapting the mechanics to allow then to be placed on crafting stations with a radial menu option instead of dragged to the slot.
Until you have 1 day you can’t log in and all of your thralls die. I’m not at all opposed to feeding thralls, but the current timer is both bugged (skips 5 seconds at a time very often) and extremely short.
I like the idea of crafting thralls gaining inventory as well, so long as I can dress them up in uniforms. 
Guys, please, the sky isn’t falling and there is no need for “our whole clan is going to delete the game if…”
The whole point of doing this TestLive testing phase is to get feedback.
However, “omg we are going to quite if this goes live” does not help. Suggestion on how to adjust it that you would feel comfortable while we still feel it serves a purpose, that is what we’d like to achieve here. Okay?

i’m not opposed to feeding thralls too. It’s just that curent food type is hard to get evem for high lvl players in amount that is enough to feed them. Also fishing doesn’t work properly or i’m missing something. I can catch only unapethizing fish with bugs and can’t find a way to catch anything else.

Can we get a hint in the pet description as to what they eat?

been trying to tame a hyena since release of test live and its only half done, its been approx 5 hours, can’t tame panther even though i put meat in the pen
One idea is the possibility of the Thralls being able to eat every kind of food such as gruel or fish as to me it would make sense as in the exile lands in my opinion it`s not a good idea to be a picky eater as that could mean death by starvation.
