like the idea of changing the base fitness.
However i also think things like, sickness, bad health, and injuries should be optional.
Good theat the two "conditions" macromastasia and lipedema are optional already.
Also if there is a way to lower base fitness there should also be a way to raise it.
Bears the question: if you can change the Base-Fitness why do you need the two levels at all, it could also be just one fitness parameter that you can lower or raise, slower or faster, with different actions.
Curious how this and other features will turn out :)
Not to worry, if I do add injuries from exercise, I can certainly make them optional.
My intention behind base fitness is that's the level of fitness a girl will maintain without your influence. So when you stop exercising with her, she will slowly revert back to that base level. Any changes to the base fitness would need to be from significant events, for example a change in mindset, such that the girl continues to maintain a different level of fitness even when you're not involved anymore.
I'd like to add some additional methods for the player to lower a girl's fitness too & will need to think that over.
I might include some sort of base weight system in the future, but it would probably work differently to base fitness. After all, your body doesn't like losing and will try to regain lost weight (yo-yo dieting etc). So the base weight might actually be the highest weight the girl reached in the past.
If base weight will be highest weight reached there is no chance for naturally skinny characters that have to be encouraged to gain weight. That would be a pity because encouragement is such a nice fantasy!
imho base weight would have to be more sophisticated, more like "metabolism" that is very hard to change, if at all.
PS.: even if your body does not like it, you will lose weight if you do not eat, but also lose muscle ie.: fitness. No yo-yo without calorie input.
Yo-yo could be implemented as a "next meal buff" after starving ...
BTW.: What you call "minor improvements" feels like a major milestone!
