Suggestion, and why it would be worth adding:
Though Duspende left Lancer, I believe that his suggestion regarding an improved and more complex nutrition system was very interesting, and would definitely lead to more roleplay of people trying to obtain specific nutrients, and would be interesting to see in general. Since we already have a hunger system and an attributes system, why not make it more interesting, and give regular citizens a way to improve their stats or at least negate penalties, without the use of pills?
I believe that this would make rebelRP more interesting, as they would have to search for ways to satisfy the needs for specific nutrients. Rebels would finally be actually undersupplied and malnourished, no longer able to effectively survive off of the occasional small jar of huel or ramen generated in item spawns.
This synergizes well with an improved attribute system. However, I will cover that in another suggestion.
The basic concept is this: keep the general hunger/thirst bar, which would be a representation of the person's satiation. It would work similarly to our current hunger bar, where starvation and dehydration inflict heavy penalties on stats, and (most importantly) maximum HP, or endurance. The hunger bar will no longer control your stamina, instead, the depletion of stamina will cause hunger to go down. The sugar nutrient will change your max stamina, and how quickly it regenerates. Any kind of food (hunger), alcohol, or liquids (thirst) will satisfy these bars. Additionally, a full hunger/thirst bar (or an over-satiation effect, or a hunger bar at "120%") will prevent you from eating any more consumables. This is to prevent people from eating large amounts of a single food item to satisfy all needs easily.
Additionally, add "Sugar", "Protein", "Minerals" and "Vitamins" bars. These wouldn't appear under your Health bar but would be permanently in the F1 menu.
The nutrient bars would go down much slower than hunger, and would be independent of the stamina bar, slowly decreasing at their own pace as time passes. A full bar of a nutrient will last for around 12 hours of play-time until it reaches 0.
The penalties for malnutrition would get more severe as the deficiency of each nutritional element increases, with penalties showing at ~40%. However, to counter this, characters would get minor attribute buffs for being well-nourished (~80% and above), such as a +2-5% to the stats which a certain nutritional element is responsible for.
Sugar deficiency would lower maximum stamina, and decrease the speed at which it regenerates.
Protein deficiency lowers strength and agility.
Mineral deficiency: lowered acrobatics,
Vitamin deficiency: minor penalty to all stats, especially to endurance.
Here is a list of all food items on Lancer, and what nutrients they (should) contain:
