Other then the perks to reduce them not really, how would a zero athletics, zero strength person even work? Could they even lift a fork?

Yes. 6 pound carry capacity usually you can hit level 1 str within 3 days.

Scratch that, you can get zero. Just throw on Feeble, Underweight/Overweight and Unfit. Unfit only removes 4 Fitness, which is why I thought there was a minimum.

It is my way of playing:) 0 str and 0 fitness.
Though i usually take handy, gymnast for skills. As maintenance and nimble are not easy to level up.

With no strength or fitness I can imagine why. xD

Nah even without them it is quite slow if you have no initial skill point.
But yeah having stamina to fight helps a lot to increase these. Allthough after a while it gets very very slow and tedious. (Around from level 6 i think?)
Also sometimes just for extra challenge i add slow learner too:D

Wanted a more hardcore experience similar to CDDA Challenge

Just take overweight, unfit, etc.

It's very possible to have 0 in any stat.


That's what I do for my CDDA challenge.


It ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks but it's the most fun way to play imo.

I suggest underweight instead of overweight. Being able to run matters a lot in this game:)

I think your character dies with no strength and fitness.
In any case, you can probably use debug mode for it, decrease the value for all skills to 0 > save > remove debug mode > load the save.

Can be multiple reasons actually. Legit reasons beside mods and bugs.
Would need to know a bit more about your character.
Traits, str, fitness and also what you have been doing with him these days when you get so tired.

I suggest the opposite as you will drop in weight easily if you save the food and eat less. And you do need to save the food.

Actually no. You can lose about 1 pound every 3 day, while you can gain max 2 pounds a day;)
I have tried both approaches, both obese and underweight. The deciding factor was that i could not run while obese, and though i rarely need to run or sprint but when i do it really means life or death. And with obese you just become a fat munchlunch for zeds.

If you take the worst str/fitness traits and very underweight. You can start with 0 in str and fit.
