📋 About This Mod



🧩 INTRODUCTION 🛠️

Keep i mind that this mod will not be for everyone. It is more complex and has far more synergetic and needed features for full experience, than similar counter parts. If simply eating, drinking, and sleeping isn't enough for you, want more systems to harass you, then you've come to the right place. Because sometimes, simple is not enough.

Concider to prepare thoroughly, Captain!

Starvival - Immersive Survival Addon or SISA as you will, provides a fully working, comprehensive and balanced survival package with:

  • []Basic Needs[/]

    []Addictions[/]

    []Adrenaline[/]

    []Spaceship Systems & Fuel[/]

    []Survival Damage [/]

    []Ammo Regulator[/]

    []Overencumbrance[/]

    []Oxygen System[/]

    []Enhanced Environmental Hazard[/]

    []and other complimentary features and systems[/]

    HOW TO START ▶️

    • []Enable Starvival in the official gameplay menu.[/]

    🥩 BASIC NEEDS 🍴

    For those who think "immersion" isn't just a buzzword. Space survival just got real.

    Get ready to eat, drink, nap, stumble, and occasionally black out... like a true spacefarer. 🚀

    Enable a full survival experience with the Basic Needs system — introducing Hunger, Hydration, Fatigue, and Self-Control — because you're not just some walking space-brute with a gun, you're (hopefully) a human being with needs. Each need has its own meter, depletion rate, and tiered penalties — ranging from mild inconvenience to "better start writing your will."

    Needs system is designed to bring immersion, challenge, and strategy to survival playthroughs. Whether you’re a casual player or roleplayer, managing your character's wellbeing has never been this engaging.

    🍗 HUNGER, HYDRATION & FATIGUE — THEY MATTER NOW!

    • []Food restores hunger. Fancy meals? Great bonuses. Cheap snacks? Barely help and lower your Self-Control, plus can poison your belly...sometimes.[/]

      []Drinks quench your thirst. Water and milk are king. Some food like soups & UC Battlemeals quench thirst as well.[/]

      []Sleeping restores fatigue but makes you hungrier and thirstier. Always go to bed on a full stomach.[/]

      Energy Drinks:

      []Energy drinks and coffee restore fatigue... but there’s a catch.[/]

      [*]Energy Drinks can only be chugged 3 times in a row before your body goes “Nope!” and nullifies the effect. A good 8-hour sle
