CDPR has not released the new DLC and new content for Cyberpunk 2077, making players a little anxious. Fortunately, there is a mod god, and they have made a lot of content by themselves. Someone made a subway mod last December that enhances the gameplay. Recently, Mod author FonWasH also made a Cyberpunk 2077 Mod, which adds some survival mechanisms to this cyberpunk world, making the vending machine more useful.
The vending machine in Night City is actually very useful. Many people use it as a tool to make money and materials. This mod by FonWasH makes the vending machine have a real use. Hunger, thirst, and fatigue values appear in the game, and players will be punished if they don’t pay attention. Although it won’t kill you directly, it will also make people uncomfortable. Hunger and thirst can be reduced by eating, and fatigue can be relieved by resting in the apartment.
The mod has its own UI elements and settings menu and currently supports English, French and German, with more languages to come in the future. FonWasH said that a more complex metabolic system is being developed, adding hygiene values, and players may die from malnutrition. This sounds very cyberpunk, and there are still some behaviors that are not connected to the survival mechanism, such as the sprinting effect, which the author said will be fixed in the future.
