This mod forces you to eat, drink, sleep, wear appropriate clothes for the current weather, makes you suffer injuries, lets you build a camp, get drunk or change your clothes anywhere…
Changelog:
Version 1.0.8:
– Since detecting ledges didn’t work very well, I changed how it works: now if you keep holding the sit prompt key for an extra second you’ll do the ‘sit on ledge’ animation, instead of the normal ‘sit on ground’ one (even if there’s no ledge). Also, if you hold the Relax prompt an extra second you’ll do the standing smoke animation.
– Added a “being cold” walk style (hugging yourself..) when you’re very cold.
– Fixed things bugging out when you try to do something (drinkning, resting..) on a moving vehicle. You can now pee off a train or sit in the back of a wagon 🙂
– Fixed not losing health when hot, cold or dehydrated. It’s possible now to die because of these so disable them in the ini if you don’t want it.
– Being cold, thirsty, tired etc.. will now affect how fast your health and stamina regnerates. Having empty health core will stop health regeneration, and having empty stamina core will stop stamina regeneration.
– Somewhat improved “followers not doing rest animations”. It can still happen sometimes, some NPCs just can’t do certain animations.
-Added “INVERTED_PEE_CORE” ini option that’ll make the pee core work the other way around, starts empty and fills up gradually.
-Added “PEE_SCREEN_EFFECT” ini option you can use to disable the screen flashing once in a while when you your pee core is full. Also it will flash less frequently now.
-Added “COLD_SCREEN_EFFECT_MAX_STRENGTH” and “HOT_SCREEN_EFFECT_MAX_STRENGTH” ini option. You can use them make the screen effects less noticable, in case they made the screen too blurry for you. They’re toned back a little by default.
-Added “COLD_TRESHOLD” and “HOT_TRESHOLD” ini options.
Raising them should make you become less prone to become hot or cold.
For example setting HOT_TRESHOLD to 1 or 2 should allow you to wear gloves in places where normally you’d overheat because of them.
The way the temperature core is calculated is pretty complex and these options might not work very well, but you can try and see if they work for you…
Version 1.0.7:
– Drinking beer in saloons will refill your thirst core now, and taking whisky shots will make you drunk a little faster and it’ll last longer (similar to using your whisky flask). They’re only work while inside a saloon, drinking beer at other places will not fill your thirst core (might try to implement it later)
– You can now sit on chairs / benches using the rest prompts, or on ledges – like the ledge of a roof top or rock…
The prompts will change, showing (chair) or (ledge) when it detected any of those in front of you. You have to stand really close to a ledge.
It works well with some chairs, not so well with others… the simple ‘sit’ variant works best. If anything goes wrong and you get stuck, the hotkey that brings up the prompts cancels animations and should help.
Your stamina core refills slightly faster when you rest on chairs.
– If you have ‘followers rest’ enabled, they’ll now rest with you when you sit / sleep in a tent, or in a rented room.
– Getting arrested and spending time in jail will now count as rest and refills your sleep core, stamina, ect…
– Changed some of the prompts to be ‘press’ instead of ‘hold’ mode.
This is a compilation of some of my previously released mods as well as some I’ve only made for myself and haven’t released before.
It has a ton of ini options to customize every aspect of it, or disable parts you don’t want.
Use the hotkey (‘0’ by default, change in the ini), or the press the ‘open satchel’ button on controllers for the prompts to come up.
Base core drain:
Your cores are slowly getting drained over time. Eat, drink, sleep and take care of yourself to keep them from being depleted all the time…
Thirst core:
Over time you become dehydrated… It’ll slowly drain your cores, then eventually your health and you’ll die. Use your flask or drink from rivers to restore your thirst core. Refill your flask in rivers / lakes, or in saloons alongside your whisky flask.
Hunger core:
There is no hunger core…
By default sleeping or bathing doesn’t restore your health core, only eating does. Combined with the “base core drain” feature effectively turning your health core into a hunger core. Eat to have health…
Pee core:
Take a leak every now and then or your pee-pee explodes.
Weather core:
Not wearing appropriate clothes for the weather will make you overheat or become hypothermic. It’ll drain your cores, apply a screen effect and you’ll slowly lose health. Warm yourself up by your campfire or by getting drunk, take shelter in your tent from rain, drink water or wash yourself to cool yourself down, etc…
Sleep core:
This is my “Sleep Deprivation” mod completely included here.
If you go for too long without sleeping you’ll become tired that’ll make you do “heavy blinks” and slowly drains your health. Eventually you’ll pass out of sleep deprivation. (Check the description of Sleep Deprivation for more details…)
Injuries:
This is a light version of my “Critical Hits” mod, if you want a more fleshed out version of this feature use Critical Hits instead.
You have a random chance to suffer an injury during combat that’ll make you fall over and act injured for a while.
Your health doesn’t regenerate while you’re injured (get drunk to ease the pain and offset this), and your cores are getting drained faster.
You can set if injuries should heal on their own, only heal when you sleep or when you use a health tonic AND sleep.
Resting:
These are the rest options from my “Camp Anywhere” mod + the take a nap option from Sleep Deprivation.
Resting slowly regenerates your stamina core, taking a nap will partially restore your sleep core and all your main cores.
The three different rest options (sit, relax, play guitar) are just for immersion.
Washing yourself:
You can wash yourself in rivers to clean blood (some injuries will leave permanent blood on you) or dirt off yourself, or to cool yourself in hot weather…
Whisky Flask:
This has everything from my “Happy Flask” mod + getting drunk helps you deal with bad weather or eases the pain and regenerates your health when you’re injured. Refill flask in saloons.
Camp:
This is pretty much my “Camp Anywhere” mod without the advanced part, it let’s you build a camp anywhere, with some extra options like only be able to build a camp when your horse is nearby.
Change clothes anywhere:
This simply lets you switch between your saved custom outfits anywhere. Only works with *custom* outfits, not with pre-made sets you can buy in stores or at the trapper. This makes the survival experience less hardcore, but allows you travel around without your horse and not get screwed by the weather.
Known issues:
– The weather core is pretty complex and was made for my liking and there’s no easy way to add options so everyone can change it to their liking unfortunately. But if you run into instances when you think you should be definitely ok with your current clothing but your not, let me know (preferably post the temperature + if you’re wearing a coat, west, gloves, or a hat).
– This mod was only tested by myself, it’s likely that you’ll run into some issues I missed…
Installation:
Download SurvivalMechaincs.rar, extract it and drop the files into your Red Dead Redemption 2 game folder.
