Mod enclosed: hunger increases by actions rather than time
Hey! So I got to thinking about what would make a super chill server, and I realized that if hunger went off of actions rather than time, you could just hang around and talk if you wanted to without worrying (until you hit sixty, of course). I got it working and really like it.
I don't want to run a custom server myself right now, but if anybody is interested, here's the patch to server.cpp:
Some notes:
* it really makes hunger increase by actions as well as by time, so to use as envisioned, edit minFoodDecrementSeconds.ini and maxFoodDecrementSeconds.ini and set those to 10000 or something
* examples of "actions": pulling a berry off a bush, pulling a branch off a tree, converting wild tules into a tule bundle, pulling a tule bundle off of harvested wild tules, crafting two tule bundles into a basket
* examples of non-actions: eating a berry, dropping/picking up a pulled branch, putting a sharp stone in a basket
* the number of actions it takes to increase hunger is heat-based, so there's still a motivation to create clothing 
* however, there's no longer a need to set babies by the fire and feed them (assuming you turned off time-based hunger); they can check out the camp freely
* the number of actions it takes to increase hunger ranges between 1.0 and 4.0 by default, but you can create new settings files to override this: minFoodDecrementActions.ini and maxFoodDecrementActions.ini
*** setting minFoodDecrementActions < 1.0 probably has an effect of setting it equal to 1.0. To fix this would require more invasive changes to the existing code
* I've only tested it on a private server with one player and haven't advanced "civilization" very far, so there could easily be bugs
If anybody actually uses this on a custom server, let me know. I think it would be more fun and less frantic.

Re: Mod enclosed: hunger increases by actions rather than time
Sounds great. Maybe contact one of the private server hosts to see if they like to test it out
