    Preface

    I really think Survival Mode is brilliant in its simplicity and vision - it integrates better into the game than other existing options. I havent really been into need mods till I switched over to SSE and gave survival mode a try. However, I feel there are aspects where it could be balanced better. This mod intends to keep with Survival Mode's vision while rebalancing and in some cases, expanding on survival mechanics to result in a more consistent and enjoyable experience.

    Needs Overhauled 

    All need debuffs have been reworked.

    Cold is as deadly as before. The potion debuff was moved here because its more logical as a cold debuff. Death from cold can be toggled in the MCM.

    Chilly: Total health is reduced. You move 10% slower. Beneficial potions are 20% less effective.

    Very Cold: Total health is reduced. You move 20% slower. Beneficial potions are 40% less effective.

    Freezing: Total health is reduced. You move 30% slower. Beneficial potions are 60% less effective.

    Freezing To Death: Total health is reduced. You move 40% slower. Beneficial potions are 80% less effective.

    Hunger

    The progression formula has also been been slightly tweaked - it now takes longer for you to become hungry. Hunger now affects stam/mag regen, forcing builds of all kinds to manage hunger actively. The RestoreHungerVerySmall and RestoreHungerSmall values have been drastically increased so that all food is viable - you dont have to eat 40 potatoes anymore.

    Sluggish: Total stamina is reduced. Magicka and stamina regenerates 10% slower.

    Hungry: Total stamina is reduced. Magicka and stamina regenerates 25% slower.
