Feature List

Survival isn't just about the food you eat, but how your body handles it.

Experience a new level of realism in DayZ with TBBasicNeeds. This mod expands the classic survival experience by introducing essential human needs: manage your metabolism, track your physical hygiene, and keep your clothes clean. Featuring a full-scale laundry infrastructure and deep tactical mechanics, TBBasicNeeds is the ultimate addition for hardcore survival servers.

Below is a detailed list of features:

🚽 Advanced Metabolic System (Excretion)

Introduces biological needs that go beyond simple hunger and thirst for a more immersive survival experience.

• New Survival Actions: Players can interact with their environment to:
  • Pee: Relieve bladder pressure.
  • Poop: Relieve bowel pressure.
  • Pee & Poop: Combined action for efficiency.
• Physical Persistence: These actions leave physical evidence (TB_PeeGround / TB_PooGround) on the terrain.
• Hygiene Integration: Neglecting these needs or performing them improperly will directly impact the cleanliness of your clothing.

👕 Dynamic Hygiene & Clothing Degradation

Clothing now tracks its own "Dirtiness" state, requiring regular maintenance.

• Visual States: Clothing items transition through five distinct levels:
  • Clean ✨
  • Dusty
  • Soiled
  • Rancid
  • Putrid 🤢
• Disease Mechanics: Wearing unhygienic clothing significantly increases the chance of contracting:
  • Salmonella
  • Cholera
  • Influenza
• Global Dirt Accumulation: Dirt accumulates naturally over time, influenced by player activity.

🌍 Body Zones

Server owners can control dirt accumulation rates via player-defined body zones.

• Body Part Scaling: Configure dirt increments for specific body regions and clothing slots (e.g., Head, Hands, Feet, Torso).
• Granular Control: Define how fast different parts of the player or their gear get dirty during regular activities or metabolic actions (Pee/Poo).
• Server Customization: Fully configurable via TBBNZoneConfig (Supports slots like Headgear, Mask, Gloves, Vest, Legs, Feet, etc.).

🧺 Laundry & Cleaning Infrastructure

Stay clean using a variety of methods, from primitive wells to modern appliances.

• Manual Washing: Wash your body or individual clothing items at Wells, Ponds, or Rivers.
• Washing Machines:
  • Advanced cleaning for all clothing slots (Headgear, Vest, Backpack, etc.).
  • Requires Energy (Battery), Water (Jerrycan), and Detergent.
  • Animated "Spin" cycles with custom audio.
• Tumble Dryers: Quickly dry wet clothing after a wash cycle.
• Static/Public Laundry:
  • Placeable "Public" versions of machines that can be configured to require payment.
  • Supports different price tiers (1-minute vs 10-minute cycles).

⚙️ Administration & Technical Features

• Modular Config: Deep control over consumption rates (energy/water/detergent per minute) and cleaning effectiveness.
• Live Reload: Admins can use the [Admin] Reload Config action to apply changes without restarting the server.
• Custom HUD: A dedicated interface (with configurable colors) to track hygiene and metabolic status.
• Global Localization: Fully translated into:
  • English, German, Russian, Czech, Chinese, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Hungarian, Portuguese, and Japanese.

📦 Included Assets

• Items: Washing Machines (Deployable & Static), Tumble Dryer, Detergent.
