Motives discussion + feedback

[Frank_Stein]

• Would you prefer having your thirst motive increase when you ingest reagents (feels a lot more responsive) or on mob life (slower and more gradual increase; what's currently being done)?
  

I think a mixture would work best. The average drink like water should be a gradual increase, but something like a saline IV should be instant, for emergency situations.

Can salt increase the thirst motive a lot, if we're going the way of ingestable things working it?

Salts relation to thirst is complicated. While it might make you feel thirsty immediately, salt also plays a role in water retention and is a key electrolyte.

Salt could spike your thirst, but also boost the effectiveness of water at depleting thirst. Gives you a good reason to have a drink with your meal
