Modding Help Eating More With The "Well Fed" Stat (Next on TLC)

Is it possible to make it so that "wellfed" doesn't stop you from eating more? If I just get the patch right I could generate patches for every food item and create a mod that would allow you to get a whole bunch of positive buffs at once through food. The following patches are applied to food:

This does nothing:

Code:

 
[
              {
                "op":"replace",
                "path":"/blockingEffects",
                "value":[]
              }
]

And neither does this:

Code:

[
              {
                "op":"remove",
                "path":"/blockingEffects"
              }
]

The log file only complains when these patches are applied to drinks such as soda as they do not have the "blockingEffects" field.

 

Hm, I wonder if perhaps the "wellfed" effect is hard coded to block food consumption. A workaround might be to patch the "wellfed.statuseffect", changing the default duration to something small, and adding a custom script which calls "status.addEphemeralEffect" to add a custom "wellfed" effect to replace the vanilla one. This way, you'd avoid the hard coded check, while retaining functionality similar to the vanilla effect.

wellfed.statuseffect.patch

Code:

[
  { "op": "replace",
  "path": "/defaultDuration",
  "value": 0.1
  },
  { "op": "add",
  "path": "/customDuration",
  "value": 120
  },
  { "op": "add",
  "path": "/scripts/~",
  "value": "wellfed_starter.lua"
  }
]

wellfed_starter.lua

Code:

function init()
  sb.logInfo("Test")  -- If this script is called, you should see an entry in the log like "[11:11:17.687] [Info] Test"
  status.addEphemeralEffect("customWellfed", config.getParameter("customDuration", 120))
end

And then the "customWellfed.statuseffect" would be almost the same as the vanilla "wellfed.statuseffect", but having a different "name" (customWellfed).

I haven't tested this--I'm a little short on time, at the moment--but I'm guessing it would work. The function "sb.logInfo" is just for testing purposes, you'd remove it once you know the script is working.

 

You have a far better understanding of how Starbound works than I do. Thanks for your input.
