I personally don't mind the usual difficulty that Survival mode offers. However, playing with a couple friends new to Starbound they expressed their dislike for these aspects while still enjoying the hunger mechanics. And so I did this so it was easy for my friends to subscribe to and not get deal with some of the potential annoyance of things like item loss.

I'd say let's all hug this out, but ya know, social distancing and all that. So a nice firm head nod of friendship to yous all.

I like my playthroughs harder, some people like theirs easier. It's just personal preference my guy
