Wren - The Uncaged

Description
Wren the Uncaged. A friendly bird who's escaped her confines, here to survive the wilderness.

Flaws:
75% Normal damage
Gets hungry 1.8x normal rate
Starves to death 4x normal rate
Half benefits of health and sanity from food.

Perks:
125% Movement speed
Fast Gathering
Produces fertilizer, seeds and eggs


Wren emulates the function of the caged bird. She has a very small stomach, gets hungry faster, and starves to death faster than normal. However, she can produce eggs, guano and seeds a bit better than a caged bird. So, although she must eat often, clever players can maximize the benefits of eating certain foods. However, she doesn't like to eat anything made with eggs (at least when it still looks like an egg.) She can't eat chocolate, as it's toxic to birds (certain event items.) And of course, she hates harming her bird friends.

She's not well suited for combat, having a bellow average HP pool and dealing less damage, but she moves and gathers quickly, best suited for a supportive and base-building role. She starts with a shovel so she can get right to gathering materials to create her nest.

Maybe make a version with a smaller beak? I love the character but wish she had a more dainty beak. Pls?

hello again, I know that I said 1.8 hunger rate was fine,
but its stressful to have to eat so often. if it was 33% or so,
it would probably feel more at ease. I do love this character,
just hopefully I dont come across picky, just a suggestion.

I thank you again for changing hunger rate,
and i hate to bother you again too, you did a great job on a style for a character.
but when I played her for an in game year, I felt like most of my days were,
"Ok, got to have lots of food on me before I can go anywhere"
Maybe if you made her have 1.6 or 1.5 (like WolfGang)
Or make a configuration option to change it? (only if you know how)
I still love playing her, i just dont want to stress about food All the time, and explore :)
of course im Just asking, it is your character after all, you make the final decision.

ok, after testing the change to the hunger rate,
having it be 1.8x speed instead of 2.0x
makes each hunger point last for 3 sec. feels nice!
I already liked her as a character,
but that slight 0.2 change did make a difference.
Thanks for the change :)

Known issue with v1.1.0 that causes a crash when spawning processed seeds within worlds that contain caves for some reason. Looking into it.

She is actually intended to be unable to eat bacon and eggs. If she can then I made a mistake. I'll look into that. I did actually consider forbidding her to eat perogies but decided to hold back as I felt she was fair enough on downsides at the time. In fact normal caged birds can eat all the egg-related dishes so Wren's forbidden list was meant to hinder her ability to eat cooked monster meat with no harm (which caged birds can do, but I felt was a bit too powerful for players to be able to do with no drawback.)
Thank you for the feedback. I'm excited to get actual criticism for her and maybe inspire a patch.

`However, she doesn't like to eat anything made with eggs`
Does that not cover it? Perhaps not with the '(at least when it still looks like an egg.)` part, or maybe it's just a penalty, not outright forbidden?

ok, I do love the mod, but just asking (you make the finale decision)
could she have 1.5x hunger speed instead?
I only ask this cause it feels so monotonous to constantly focus on eating.
Theirs barley any down time to relax and think about what to do next.
you can add another downside like, Take 25% more dm. or something.
I can still play her, I'm just running into that feeling. Still love the Character tho!

Also, I found out that she can spam Perogies
by eating one and get an egg to make another.
maybe make it so she cant eat Perogies, bacon n eggs and waffles.
