Special Thanks

A big thank you to Orcax1399 for the availability of his player-status-modifier mod, without which this mod could not have been created. His reverse engineering work on Crimson Desert was an essential foundation and a major source of inspiration.

Description

This mod adds a lightweight survival layer through Hunger, Sleep, and Thirst systems designed to support immersion, not punishment.

The goal is not to make the game brutally harder or to constantly interrupt the player with harsh penalties. Instead, the mod is meant to reinforce the feeling of being on a real journey: traveling long distances, preparing before an expedition, resting after effort, eating properly, and keeping water with you when exploring the world.

Each system is built to make adventure feel more grounded and believable:

⚠️Thirst gameplay: The Gourmet artifacts I, II, and III break water detection for the thirst system! If you want to use this feature, you'll need to unequip these artifacts until I find a proper fix ⚠️
⚠️Thirst gameplay:  If you get the Urdavah upgrade that increases max stamina, it will break thirst detection. In this case, you can install the 'Urdavah patch' on top of the 'Be Hungry' mod to make it work again!  ⚠️

A huge thank you to the Be Hungry Discord community for tracking down the source of the problem! <3

  • []Hunger makes food matter during long travels and repeated fights.[/]

    []Sleep turns fatigue into a natural part of the journey and gives rest a meaningful role.[/]

    []Thirst adds a new layer of expedition management by making water part of your preparation.[/]

The mod is highly configurable and can be tuned to be either very light or more demanding depending on your preferred pace. At its core, it is meant to make the world feel more alive, and the adventure feel more like an actual expedition, without turning the game into a punishing survival simulator.
