TLL_Metabolism Arma Reforger Mod

Credits & Special Thanks – TLL_Metabolism A special thanks to FriendlyModder for the inspiration behind TLL_Metabolism. TLL_Metabolism was heavily inspired by FriendlyModder's original metabolism system, following many of the same core concepts and mechanics. The main differences are the use of custom 3D models and independently written scripts, developed to implement similar functionality while allowing for further customization and expansion within The Last Light project. While the system follows the same general ideas introduced by FriendlyModder, the scripts and models used in TLL_Metabolism were created specifically for this project. I want to give proper credit to FriendlyModder for the original concept and the work that inspired this implementation. Thank you, FriendlyModder, for your contributions to the Arma Reforger modding community and for inspiring projects like this one! TLL_Metabolism – The Last Light Survival System Surviving takes more than ammunition. TLL_Metabolism adds hunger, thirst, and energy management to Arma Reforger as part of The Last Light and Project Ashfall. Find supplies, manage your stamina, and keep yourself fed and hydrated. Neglecting your needs affects your ability to keep moving and eventually threatens your life. Hunger & Thirst Food and Water decrease over time and are restored by compatible consumables. Different items provide different benefits, giving players a reason to gather and manage a varied supply of food and drinks. Running out of Food causes starvation damage. Running out of Water drains Energy, blocks normal Energy recovery, and causes dehydration damage. Restoring the depleted resource stops its ongoing penalty. Energy & Stamina Energy reflects the character’s actual stamina, connecting the survival HUD to movement. Sprinting consumes Energy and adds a Water cost based on Energy spent. Normal walking and jogging do not use the sprint Energy drain. Normal Energy recovery begins after a five-second delay and restores one Energy per second. Recovery is blocked while Water is empty. Compatible consumables can restore Energy directly. Plan your movement and carry enough water for longer journeys. Live Survival HUD Monitor five values during gameplay: Food Water Energy Blood Health Blood and Health reflect the game’s character damage system. The HUD displays these values alongside your survival needs; it does not replace vanilla medical treatment. Food & Drink Integration TLL_Metabolism integrates with TLL_LootSystem’s food and drink items, applying their configured Food, Water, and Energy rewards. Food requires a deliberate Eat action. Equipping an item alone does not consume it. Compatible drinks use Arma Reforger 1.9’s native drinking flow and animation. Single-use cans, bottles, and cartons are removed after successful consumption. US and Soviet water canteens remain available for reuse and support the native water-container and refill system. The canteens hold one litre and use 0.1 litre per completed drink. Empty canteens cannot be used until refilled. Server & Scenario Integration Food and Water are managed on the server and synchronized for the player’s HUD. Energy is integrated with the owning character’s stamina. Scenario creators can configure starting values, maximum values, update intervals, resource drain, and sprint-related Water costs through the metabolism component. The mod also provides integration functions for reading, restoring, and adjusting survival values, including hooks for a compatible persistence system. Requirements & Compatibility Requires TLL_LootSystem and its Workshop dependencies. Use matching, up-to-date versions of TLL_Metabolism and TLL_LootSystem. Designed around The Last Light survival setup. Custom scenarios must include the appropriate character component, HUD, and activation setup. Other mods that change stamina, hydration, or consumable behavior may require compatibility adjustments. Persistence hooks are provided, but saving remaining canteen water across reconnects or server restarts requires additional support in the persistence system.
