Moodles

A Moodle is an indicator of what emotional and physical effects your character is currently feeling, similar to status effects in roleplaying games. There are currently seventeen moodles in the game.

List of Moodles

File:Moodle bleeding.png Bleeding

The character is losing blood from an open wound, and therefore losing health. The severity levels - judged by the intensity of the moodle background colour - dictate how quickly the character is losing vitality. This moodle can be removed by using bandages.

File:Moodle bored.png Bored

The character is bored from remaining indoors for too long. This moodle can be removed by reading books or magazines, or spending time outdoors. As the moodle's intensity increases, so does the risk of becoming unhappy.

This moodle was implemented in a test version, but was removed for the released version and is being reworked.

File:Moodle cold.png Cold

The character has remained out in the rain long enough to contract the cold. While suffering from the cold the character will occasionally - and often - sneeze. Periodic sneezing will make noise which can attract any nearby zombies to your location where you last sneezed from, the sound of which can fortunately be dampened with tissues, preventing that. To use the tissues place them in one of your main slots.

Runny nose

"Slight chance of sneezing"

The sniffles

"Prone to sneezing"

Has a cold

"Sneezing and Coughing. Speed and healing reduced."

Has a nasty cold

"Sneezing and Coughing. Speed and healing severely reduced."

File:Moodle dead.png Deceased

The character has taken too much damage, losing all of their health and has passed away.

Deceased

"High chance of becoming rat food"

File:Moodle drunk.png Drunk

The character has drank alcohol and has become intoxicated. Drinking more will lead to becoming even more drunk. When drunk the character will struggle to walk in a straight line. Accuracy is also diminished. This moodle will disappear over time, with sleep speeding up the process. With the light drinker perk you will immediately become utterly shit-faced with only half a bottle of whiskey.

A bit tipsy

"Had some booze"

Inebriated

"Coordination slightly impaired"

Plastered

"Coordination impaired"

Utterly Shit-Faced

"Coordination Severely impaired"

File:Moodle endurance.png Exhausted

The character is tired from running or exerting themselves by attacking too much. This moodle can be removed by stopping and standing still to rest, or by walking instead of running. Being encumbered, even slightly, can substantially increase the rate at which the player tires. The more exhausted the player is, the longer it will take for them to recover which can be dangerous when swarmed. Their strength also diminishes as they become more exhausted.

Moderate Exertion

"Rest your legs"

The character is becoming exhausted.

High Exertion

"Can't Run"

The character is very exhausted.

Excessive Exertion

"Can barely walk"

The character is extremely exhausted. Usually happens after running a very far distance or when the character is very encumbered.

File:Moodle heavyLoad.png Encumbered

The character is carrying too many items and is unable to move at their usual speed. This moodle can be removed by dropping items, placing them in containers, or by consuming the proper items. The total weight assumes you have no other positive or negative moodles that affect strength. As the moodle increases the player will be unable to do more actions before becoming exhausted. Eventually leading to health loss from back injuries.

Quite Heavy Load

Total Weight: 155-265

"Carrying a little too much"

The character is encumbered.

Heavy Load

Total Weight: 265-285

"Movement speed reduced"

"Movement speed highly reduced"

The character is extremely encumbered.

Extremely Heavy Load

Total Weight: 301+

"Movement speed highly reduced, causing back injury"

The character is extremely encumbered, walking causes major health loss.

Hungover

This moodle that pops up indicates that you have been staying too long outside. Only solution is to stay in indoors.

File:Moodle hungry.png Hungry

This moodle represents the character's hunger state. A red background dictates that the character needs to eat food. A green background shows that the character is well fed. Being fed boosts strength and healing rate, depending on the amount of food consumed, while being hungry has the opposite effect (reducing strength and healing rate).
