Thirsty
{{Improve}}. Last edit was 11/04/2024.
Thirsty is a moodle that represents the character's thirst state.
This moodle occurs when the player has gone a while without drinking water or other beverages. Dehydration leads to weakness, reduced carrying capacity, slightly increased heat generation, and eventual death.
Thirst can be quenched primarily through bottles filled with clean water; many other consumables help influence thirst as well, usually by decreasing it.
Sources of hydration must be clean and the water itself must be boiled, otherwise sickness can occur.
