Carnivore trait needs more points

[MrOlaf]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
With introduction of mutated meat - Carnivore (-4) mutation/trait has more downsides due to toxins build up, which is a lot less of an issue for a late game character, but makes early game quite harder (since only the Experiment and Lab Start give option to start with Carnivore)

Describe the solution you'd like
Carnivore mutation should have a cost of -6 points due to adverse effects on the hidden health stat and additional effects.

I would argue that it the 4 points it gave before was way overpriced. It should have been worth 2 points max, as huge quantities of meat were trivial to obtain.

Really, it's still not very difficult, all you need to do is find a cow or pack of dogs once you're out of the lab. Assuming you do find a source of mutant meat while you're still in the lab, 800 calories a day of mutant meat is safe, and that can sustain you for a very long time, weeks, I suspect.

6 points for what only amounts to a potential early game stat penalty due to hunger (that can be avoided completely with proper planning) is crazy talk imho.

Agreed, in real terms carnivore isn't a significant persistent challenge to the player.
