[Adjusted - 3.86beta] vegetable stew and unlimited appetite

[KVictor]

When player eat vegetable stew, he never get message "you are full and satiated..." and can repeat eat it unlimited times, every time eating 1 poung of stew.
If player eat something other and already satiated, he can't eat stew before get hungry.
I cooked turnip stew with hemp leaves as seasoning without any mushrooms, but I doesn't think that ingridients matters.

Tried to reproduce (on Windows), but it works normally for me.
Could you double-check and if the problem continues it would be easiest to check and solve if you'd .zip/compress the character folder who's experiencing the issue and send it over to me for investigation.

[KVictor]

Ok, I sent save game to email.
Maybe the previous fix fixed this error too? Or it's because migrated character.
If this is not enough, I will try to reproduce the problem with a new character later.

Thanks for the save, it's been investigated now and it appears that the character is experiencing appetizing herbal effect which makes him eat beyond the true need.
And it also appears that the vegetable stew in question contains appetizing herbal effects, so when he keeps eating it the effect persists.
This works as intended, but the question remains how the vegetable stew got its appetizing herbal effect in the mix. If only hemp leaves were used as seasoning they don't cause appetizing effect, but if there were other herbs in use they could have done it... so are you quite sure it was only turnips and hemp leaves in the stew?

[KVictor]

Thanks for reply and investigation. I double checked and found out that it was not hemp, but sorrel. I use both periodically and did not notice that it was sorrel instead of hemp, when I saw this effect. Sorry for misinformation, it's my mistake.

But I have a question: as far as I can see, the number of repetitions of effect seems unlimited, maybe it need some limit for repeats? Maybe 1 or 2 times after full saturation or per time period or something like? It's only suggestion. Now it looks like character can eat literally tons of food with appetizing herbal effects.

[Sami]

Ah, the sorrel usage clears it out so its been the appetizing effect.
The effect has a temporary nature in the game but eating appetizing food in succession indeed can end up into loop of never getting satiated - and I also think this calls for adjustments.
It also got me thinking if this report might have been of the same cause:

I think I'll be adding specific eating messages that indicate the impressive appetite, and also make it so that the appetizing effect can't get into an endless loop.

My life has been saved more than once by this bug.  After accidental ingestion of dodgy mushrooms, you can use the herbs that increase appetite to eat huge amounts of herbs that reduce toxins and thus recover from even deadly poisoning.

I never thought of it as a bug, as I cannot think of another reason you would want to increase your appetite!

Well it's not a bug per se, although unlimited eating capacity understandably may cause confusion. Even if it's adjusted you can still continue that toxin diet of yours like
just like described. It's just that you'll now need to arouse the appetizing effect in between more frequently than previously.
