- "Dying of thirst in England, how ironic..."
- — Arthur Hastings, suffering from dehydration.
Thirst is one of the basic measurements in We Happy Few that keeps track of the player's thirst level.
Overview[]
Every consumable drink the player comes across can fill up the thirst timer.
If the player were to dehydrate themselves in Story Mode, they will not die from it. Instead they'll have part of their stamina bar cut until they drink again.
Dehydration in Survival or Sandbox mode however, will make the player go through the process of dying. Giving them a few minutes to drink before eventually keeling over and dying.
In the DLCs, Thirst is disabled, this is due to survival not being the main focus of those modes. Instead, drinks are turned into health items, like the healing balm, that'll increase the player's health.
Status Effects[]
Tea and Toasted Chicory will give the player a small stamina bonus for a certain period of time.
Chunky Stew is the only food item that regains Fatigue, Hunger and Thirst.
Being well hydrated means the player drains less stamina.
