Problem with the default is that you're never sure if you have 10 hearts or just 9. I suppose if you play enough you see it, but I've only played a few weeks. This mod is a life saver. That 1 missing heart could be the one that kills you... ;- )
Unfortunately it does have a compatibility problem with the stamina mod. The breads from Stamina appear at the same place as the Saturation bar. Looks hideous and naturally is hard to read. My solution was to uninstall Stamina and install hbhunger and hbsprint to provide something sort of similar.
Yeah, this incompatibility is to be expected because both mods do something with statbars and don't communicate with each other. HUD Bars is the more general framework because it manages the correct positioning of the bars, provided the mod actually uses the HUD Bars mod. I suppose the stamina mod doesn’t do that and instead just adds the statbar directly.
This is of course valid as long you use the stamina mod in isolation but once things get more complex (more mods want to add statbars), that's when problems begin. This is the main reason why the HUD Bars mod exists.
The stamina mod can fix this problem on its side by optionally depending on the HUD Bars mod, if the maintainer wants to do it. If the maintainer does not want to use HUD Bars (a valid choice), at least the incompatiblity should be made "official" IMO.
It is unfair to put the blame on HUD Bars, however. HUD Bars is the more general framework so it is technically nonsense to alter this mod to "please" a more specialized mod.
Oh gosh, no I was blaming the Stamina mod. That's why I uninstalled it and installed the compatible ones. I guess mentioning it here might have given the wrong impression. Still the fact remains that they don't play well together and that is relevant to this mod even if the fault lies with the other mod.
