  Features

  Hunger and Thirst

  • []Needs will accumulate in cycles, increasing every 8 hours passed without food, drink, or sleep.[/]

    []Time for needs to accumulate is configurable up to 23 hours.[/]

    []Each need applies penalties to different attributes:[/]

    []Hunger affects Endurance: total fatigue available for running, jumping, and attacking.[/]

    []Thirst affects Strength: maximum encumbrance, melee damage.[/]

    []Fatigue affects Agility and Intelligence: accuracy and dodging in combat, magicka capacity and regeneration.[/]

    []Going too long without satisfying a need (10 cycles by default, individually configurable) will cause you to start dying of it.[/]

    []Meeting your needs may grant a small random boost of 1-5 points to their respective stats, which will last through the next cycle.[/]

    []1 unit of food/drink will satisfy 8 hours of hunger/thirst, with items' units based on size and type.[/]

    []Food and drink will be recognized when eaten from the menu, with hotkeys, or direct from containers by dragging them onto the player's character image in the menu.[/]

    []A full night's sleep will fully relieve Fatigue. A nap of a few hours hours will relieve 1 cycle (8 hours by default) of Fatigue. A certain item can help you relieve more fatigue with less sleep:[/]

    Foods that are clearly edible or described as edible in the game's lore will relieve hunger:

    Daedra Hearts

    Durzog Meat

    Ghoul Hearts

    Hackle-Lo Leaves

    Holly Berries

    Marshmerrow
