About this mod
Scripted thirst and hunger for hardcore mode, allowing different rates for different situations. Get thirstier under the desert\'s blistering heat during the day compared to the chilly nights or indoor environs.
- Permissions and credits
I was bothered by the way vanilla hardcore in New Vegas works. When I'm outside in the desert, my thirst increases as much as when I'm indoors. Hunger increases at the normal rate as when I'm sleeping.
I needed it to be dynamic. So I made it that way.
Specific changes:
Dehydration rates were doubled, and hunger was tripled. In the alternate sleep module, sleep deprivation rates were doubled, although this rate is static.
Rate of thirst and hunger increase while running or in combat (due to stress).
Rate of thirst reduced substantially when indoors, or when outdoors during nighttime. Rate decreases gradually as it gets further from midday.
Thirst and hunger rates reduced while sleeping. Sleep inside for lower rates.
NVSE is not required.
This mod is somewhat incompatible with other mods that change the hunger/thirst rate game settings, as they'd compound with the dynamic rates from this mod, or be overwritten if loaded prior to this one.
The module with sleep doubles the sleep deprivation rate, use this or the normal module but not both.
Changelog:
v0.3:
Rates increased, including an alternate module that increases (static) sleep deprivation. Passing time in menus at night increases thirst less.
v0.2:
Fast travel and resting now increase hunger and dehydration. Code got a big rewrite and isn't as well tested as 0.1.
Todo:
Nothing that I can and want to do.
