The health bar changed from the number system to hearts in the most recent update, and I was wondering how to change it back

Maybe a little bit late, but you can change it in the config
you find the config folder, then find "tfc-client"

I have a theory that everyone who doesn't like the new hp bar only doesn't like it because it makes them self conscious of how bad their nutrition is lol

oh lmao

thats true bc after seeing that
i was disgusted with my nutrition and instantly cooked some foods to improve it

lol good to know it's working! because that's the whole reason I added it

like you see 700 and you have no frame of reference for what that actually means

i like it how it shows what stuff ur eating

yes lmao

but 7 hearts? that's less than the vanilla 10, therefore you know that's lower
glass lintel
so much better now imo

dunno, I cannot bother "counting" hearts or other crappy elements of the hud; the regular numbers and a graph is much more comfortable to know when exactly should I consume something and as a reference whether I have "enough" HP
just removing the ihearttfc mod does the trick

Having the option would be appreciated. TFC has been a numbered health bar in previous experiences, therefore some folks will have an expectation of such. Each HUD method has its strengths and weaknesses, some people like "number grow big!', some people like having a visual representation of health.

really? It's like the exact opposite for me. The bars struggle to show me exactly when I should be eating or drinking, but I know with the icons that each food gives 2 bars of hunger, and each drink from a water container gives 4 drops

Tho food bar showing nutrition is useless
You have to open the ui if you wanna manage it properly anyway, that bar aint giving you the necessary details
merry idol
Tho food bar showing nutrition is useless
I think it's more neat than actually functional
plus it can always be just a quick reminder if you a balanced diet of many different foods to take a quick glance and see your meat is lower than everything else, so eat some meat
more general than precise information

Another avenue of thought that hasn't been voiced yet is; do these HUD changes thematically work? Gregtech in the past has often been very metric and digital in its theme and HUD functionality.
These forums I don't think are supposed to be contest to see who likes what more or what is most popular, but hopefully a conversation to help inform the creators into what we are thinking.

thematically, I mean, maybe I guess
But like the bars are from TFC, not gregtech, so there's that part of it too
I personally find the I<3tfc very appealing, and it's really not that hard to turn off since it's a client side mod (plus I believe the creators of the pack also like it, considering it was added)

Nah that quick reminder doesnt work
Analyzing that bar takes longer than pulling up nutrition ui
formal aspen
So is opening the ui
merry idol
look down
see the bread icon has less than everything else
eat bread
formal aspen
The point is probably to move as much of the important stuff to main ui
So that player can see everything without going into inventory
merry idol
yeah, but for that you open your inventory and open the GUI
you can open the menu as fast as you want but that still means you have to open your inventory to stop and look
formal aspen
But this just doesnt work with each nutrient getting 2 icons
merry idol
at that point if you have the abilityu to fill all of the bars you probably have a 1 in all wonder meal and dont really need it ngl
formal aspen
Possibly
merry idol
and theres no real way to solve that other than add a new ui element? or add more food bars? which would be weird

Its more about this new bar being unnecessary
We were managing without it and half assed measures are worse than no measures
The bar is extremely inconvenient due to serving both as nutrients bar and food bar
merry idol
i like it, even just visually without the information being baked into it
i dont think its half assed, i think its a really clever way to sneakily hide that information inside of the food bar, its up to you whether you deem that helpful or not helpful, but its 100% more information than you were getting from the green bar, and it doesnt impede anything, unless you just dont like how it looks i guess?
formal aspen
If that was a separate bar then sure but rn its messy

But the icons get emptied and at that point its hard to tell anything from it
merry idol
they all have unique shapes, i dont really think its that hard to gleam things from it, epsecially if youre working with like 3 or maybee 4 nutrients
like i said again, if you can fill all 5, you probably have a wonder all in one meal and dont need to worry about such things
formal aspen

When you have part of the bar empty and part full then it becomes unreadable regardless, the shapes dont help at all considering its supposed to let you get the nutrition from a glance
Then you have the fact that theres only 10 units because theres no halves so its just a massive approximation
merry idol
are you waiting until youre like starving to eat? because then maybe i could see a problem
usually i just eat when2 bars empty, because food gives 2 bars lmao

i personally think thats all it really needs to be
if you want the details, pause and check your nutrients
if youre on the run and need to eat really quickly, and really care about those nutrients, it could be useful maybe
otherwise its just a silly little detail on your food bar

Ya gonna do yourself more harm than good if you rely on these approximations

This food system is too harsh for a simple bar like that
It at least shouldnt be merged with food bar and operate within halves
merry idol
honestly, the little icons on the bar have encouraged be to diversify the foods im monching in my inventory instead of just eating the closest thing nearby. on my old playthough, i literally lived at 300 HP on flatbread, this time in the primitive/steam age, im hovering around 800 or 8 hearts
merry idol
This food system is too harsh for a simple bar like that
if this was a combat focused pack maybe, but this is a tech pack, so the only real importance of the food system is if you feel like bum rushing the beneath (which i still did with 5 hearts lmao)
merry idol
Dont think its a matter of that bar
no it is, the nutriton UI is too out of the way for me to be regularly checking up on
and the numbers on my health bar basiaclly meant nothing to me, so the new UI encourages me to interact with it a lot more
formal aspen

But if someone likes to focus on that then theyd wanna have it clear
I doubt many people base any food decisions on that bar alone

They shouldve just moved it to main screen imo
Squeeze it real small somewhere on the right side and itd work
merry idol
i do a lot of the time
usually its like
oh my nutrition is 6 bars of meat and 3 bars of veg, 1 bar of fruit, i should stop eating this meat im eating and grab the garlic in my inventory
merry idol
Squeeze it real small somewhere on the right side and itd work
i personally would find that to be too cluttered, but thats a matter of preference i believe
glass lintel
u can always remove the mod i mean
no really need for this forum, except if u play in official server

As someone who didn't know which mod was replacing the UI, I find this forum really useful
