Change the game mode

[aus.whofan]

Hi, I've started a survival game, I'm about 5 hours in. I like, it's enjoyable however I don't like the food and watermechanics, I need to be fed and watered far too often, it sucks the enjoyment out of the game. If I wish I neded food and water this often I would have chosen the other game mode. Can I change game modes, I can't seem to see any options in the GUI to do this?

Press f3 then f8 (to get cursor)
Uncheck "disable console"
Press F8 and f3
Now press enter and you get the console bottom left
Type now the game mode to change
Survival = the mode you play
Freedom = same without hunger and thirst
Hardcore = one life
Creative = you can do what you want

Question, Can you do that on XBox

You can't change once you started unless you make a new game
However
Food and water is easy to control
Water can be made from
Bladder fish (low quality)
Salt and coral from those tube corals (medium quality)
And a waster maker (forgot name) makes salt and large bottles of water that refill 50% your water
Food is far easyier
Fish
There are plants on islands that can be grown at a base that give water a d food
Sea weed if your desperate
Nutrition bars (super high quality)
And just you know..fish

He can use the commands, save, close game, start game, load the same save = achievements working again ;)
Achievements just doesn't work for that "session" anymore!

Not that I know!
Just open console and type
survival
(that should do it)

Then save, close, start that save

not working...

ok, i had to edit the file "gameinfo.json", found inside my save game > slotXXXX folder, to get the game mode switched.

Game mode
0 = Survival
1 = Freedom
2 = Hardcore
3 = Creative

Someone should point out that as you collect blueprints and build a base, the hunger and thirst requirements become much easier to manage. But, if you find it annoying now, it will become significantly more annoying toward the end game, when you spend increasingly long periods of time away from a base, and have to bring plenty of rations with you.

Did you by chancce activate the console first? Fress F8 to gain control of the mouse cursor, then F3 to pull up a settings menu and activate the console from there.

I tried maximize water production last playthrough

1 Bladder fish +20
2 bleach +30
3 water filtration +50
4 watermelon farm both in base and cyclops(yes you can farm them on cyclops)
+14
5 still suits +20


I have so many water that I didn’t drink once from +50 bottles, in fact I still have 10 bottle of water I collected from aurora and other crates when I beat the game.
