📋 About This Mod

(Updated) Finally, two almost fair ways of hibernation, that prevents food/water drain while you are AFK

<< Warning: the mod has been reworked. If you preferred the more cheaty version from before, consider not updating >>

Description

Tired of returning from dinner only to discover that your astronaut has died of hunger three times while the planet kept happily terraforming?

Cryo Hibernation gives your explorer two increasingly technological ways to stop being a biological inconvenience

  • []Unlock the Cryogenic Capsule at 75 kTi, connect your suit's hmm... socket to it, and enjoy a dramatic nap while your machines, terraformation, and saves continue normally[/]

  • []Feeling too advanced to walk to bed? Unlock the Cryo Module at 1 MTi, install it in your suit, and after 60 seconds of inactivity your suit automatically decides that consciousness is optional[/]

While you at that state, food and water consumption is paused, the screen dims, and the mod keeps track of how long you have been hibernating. When you wake up, it even tells you how much food and water you saved by doing absolutely nothing

No more panic-eating beans before answering the door. No more returning to a tiny pile of repeated deaths. Sleep peacefully and let the planet cook itself
