[2020] please make hunger and thirst bars visible while driving

The food/water bars were originally removed for various reasons, among them one of the bigger ones is that they take up a bunch of screen real estate for no real good reason- It's not something you need to know exactly how much you have at all times like stamina or health. It's served well enough by having the debuff indications and by the sfx that plays from time to time; and you were able to see exact values by checking your character sheet with B.

But people complained for months, so they finally re-included it; But, not wanting it to take a huge amount of real estate again and not wanting it to be intrusive, they put it along the bottom of the hotbar.


With that said, Are you driving 90% of the time or something, that you need to know how hungry/thirsty you are even while driving? You cant eat or drink while you're in the vehicle anyway, so why is it important to be able to see hunger/thirst at a glance? You need to get out of the vehicle to eat/drink anyway. I think the B menu solves it well enough. But I also don't see any real reason -not- to also add the bars to the vehicle UI as well......I just dont see any good reason TO add it either.

If you need to look while driving, the B menu screen still works fine.

Well the simple bit of it is that they chose to hide the toolbar while you're in vehicles because the toolbar items are not usable while on a vehicle. These information bars are part of the toolbar.

It's not like there aren't a million UI mods you can use anyway.
