Survival vitals a little too fast?

[Zippa]

So I've been playing around with Survival and have been having quiet a bit of fun with it. However, hunger hydration and sleep all feel like they go too fast. Like I've been properly hydrated and like 10 min after I need to drink, eat and sleep again. It all just goes so bloody fast. Am I alone in feeling this?

Pretty much. I find that I don't need to eat or drink as much as I should.

10 minutes of real time is near 3.5 hours of game time. If all you're doing is eating or drinking to the minimum, its not unexpected that you'll be feeling *peckish* 3-4 hours later. Just like you would in real life.

Hm I guess it's meant for realism. Not too much fun by gameplay standards but oh well. I just wish I still could save, as I love everything about survival except the saving (crashes you know)

Typically the player character will need 4 times as much purified water and at least 4 times as much food as the average settler--who manages to get by on one unit of food and water per day.

If you use chems like stimpacs, rad x, you can very easily go through 20 units of food and purified water. If you also use rad-away, you will need even more food and water, and you WILL get sick.

So, yeah, I think the food and water requirements in Survival Mode are a little ridiculous.

You can tinker white the game files so 1 second in the game is 1 second in reality.
default is 1 second in reality is 30 seconds in game.
