Hunger is a survival mechanic in Conan Exiles.
It is indicated by a green meter under the health bar depicting a steak symbol.
Loss[]
At default settings, the hunger meter will drop by 1 every 18 seconds. While on claimed land, each tick takes ten times longer. While suffering from temperature debuffs, this is reduced by 50%, but can be countered by the Expertise perk, Survivalist.
A character will receive three warning messages prior to starvation:
- 24 — Your stomach hurts...
- 9 — You begin to feel weak with hunger...
- 1 — You must eat soon
At 0, the player will suffer the Starving debuff, losing 7 health every 10 seconds.
Gain[]
Hunger can be removed by consuming Food.
When the hunger meter is filled to 100, the character will receive a ten-minute bonus, indicated by a green outline around the border of the meter, where the meter will stay at 100 and they will receive a 5% bonus to their maximum health. The bonus is 5% of the health at the moment the bonus is received and will not adjust if other effects also change the maximum health. This means that the bonus is more effective if the maximum health is already buffed prior to filling the health meter than if the buffs are applied after filling the hunger meter.
