Game Modes

• Casual Mode - reduced difficulty across multiple areas. Simulation systems such as hunger, fuel, etc. are limited or disabled. Steam achievements are limited in this mode. This mode is ideal for players who want to work on their vehicles and build structures without too much stress.

• Standard Mode - the standard gameplay experience. Existing save files will be converted to Standard mode.

• Permadeath Mode:

  • Increased damage from all sources.

  • Taxi service disabled.

  • Increased hunger and thirst rates.

  • Save file is deleted upon death. Saving is only possible in a single save slot.

  • Sleeping is only possible when the player is tired.

  • Dirt affects how NPCs perceive the player. Maximum dirt prevents the player from talking to characters or shopping in stores.

  • Reduced earnings from all sources.

  • Slower muscle growth.

  • Weaker health and stamina regeneration effects from consumable items.

  • Extra lives from oscypek and bonus stamina from pickles are disabled.
