Time & Environment

Survival is dictated by the passage of time through your actions.

Time System

Action-Based Time Passage

• Time only passes when you perform actions
• Each action consumes a specific number of hours
• Examples:
  • Movement: 1 hour
  • Gathering/Fishing/Hunting: 1-3 hours
  • Crafting: 1-6 hours depending on item complexity
  • Rest: 8 hours
  • Sleep: 8 hours

Resource Management

Survival Needs (Drain Per Hour)

• Hunger: -0.25% per hour
• Thirst: -0.25% per hour
• Warmth: -0.35% per hour (baseline)
• Hygiene: -0.04% per hour

Fire Mechanics

• Warmth Gain: +25% per hour from active fire
• Maximum Duration: 18 hours
• Fires must be maintained with fuel

Fatigue System

Every action costs fatigue. Rest or sleep to recover.

Fatigue Costs (examples):

• Movement: +0.25
• Gathering/Basic crafts: +0.25
• Fishing/Hunting: +0.75
• Complex crafting: +0.5 to +0.8
• Exploration: +2.0

Fatigue Recovery:

• Rest (8 hours): -20 fatigue
• Sleep (8 hours): -40 fatigue

Notes

NOTE

There is no day/night cycle, seasonal system, or weather system currently implemented. Time passage is purely action-based and environmental conditions are static per biome.
