Needs, recovery and skills

Survival clock and recovery

Explanatory diagram based on the report; not a gameplay capture. One survival hour is 1,000 ticks or 50 real seconds at 20 TPS. The healing gate is conditional; the text retains nutrition, temperature and illness limits.

Your survivor’s state

Your survivor has 13 survival measures: hydration, stamina, fatigue, body temperature, calories, protein, micronutrients, wetness, stress, panic, boredom, unhappiness and corpse sickness.

Mood measures and sickness start at zero. Panic/stress rise around threats and gore; music, company, reading and food can relieve mood under their own conditions.

Healing and sleep

Vanilla hunger regeneration is disabled under custom health. Reported passive recovery is 1 HP per survival hour when hunger is at least 12/20, hydration at least 30, fatigue below 80 and bleeding suppressed. Temperature, calories, nutrients and infection can still limit recovery.

Beds work at any time without skipping the world’s time by default. Hostiles within 16 blocks prevent sleep; damage, fire and breaches can wake you. Pain adds further limits. Sofas and chairs offer weaker rest.

Skills and manuals

The 19 skills are Carpentry, Demolition, Electrical, Mechanics, Medicine, Research, Fitness, Awareness, Firearms, Melee, Metalwork, Agriculture, Cooking, Foraging, Hunting, Fishing, Driving, Piloting and Tailoring. Each has two specialization paths; their exact identifiers are retained in the report tables for page 12.

Reading the appropriate manual tier for one survival hour gives a 1.5× XP modifier while applicable. There are 76 skill-and-tier combinations across the 19 skills and four manual tiers. A manual’s subject and tier are carried by the book; they are not 76 unrelated item types. NPC lessons and computer practice have separate rules and can pass through the survivor learning service.

Measure bounds and starts

Stamina remains a percentage of its current maximum; these stored ranges do not erase modifiers. Temperature is °C, calories are calories and remaining measures use their stated scales.
