Thirst Release [DST] v1.55

This mod makes the game a bit more realistic adding new element Thirst.

Fixed save corrupt crash.

If you crashed while using Thirst mod - please send us screenshot of crash or game log.
There are several weird bugs that we can not find by ourselves.
And we need screenshots or logs to find bugs. w/o screenshot/log tracking down and fixing bug is nearly impossible.
So don't hesitate to contact with us.



Thirst like other stats is shown at the right upper corner of the screen. You can move thirst badge using configuration menu.
- All the characters have 200 of max thirst.
- Character loses thirst over-time. (Rate is tunable in a config)
- If character is overheated he looses thirst faster and sweats, getting wetness and reducing temperature.
- If thirst drops to zero character takes 1 dmg/sec.


To restore thirst, you should drink some water (ty captain obvious):
- Drink water from pond, +75 water, -9 to 3 random sanity delta, 3 to 9 random wetness delta.
- Eat vegetables for hydration.
- Eat raw meat to get a bit of hydration.
- Eat ice or hydromato.
- Drink water from your bottle.


Where do I find water for bottles?
1) S E A - Drop your bottle near the coast to fill bottle with salty water from sea. Salty water is dangerous for your health (see "Water filtering").
2) S N O W - During winter, drop bottle on the ground to fill it with snow.
3) Water catchers - Put a bottle to capacitor to fill it with all the water a catcher has.



New tab "WATER" added to craft table.
Tab includes:
>Bottles for water, water catchers, buckets, distillator, aqua gem, aqua staff, water well, water barrel.
1) Bottles - are used to keep water in travels. +50 thirst restoration per use. To fill a bottle drop it near a water source.

2) Water catchers - are used to catch water. They get heavily damaged by rain.
3) Water distillators - are used to filter water (see "Water filtering").



4) Aqua Gem - Magic essence of water in your hands. Is used to craft aqua staff and gem water catcher.


5) Well, Barrel, Buckets


Water slowly spoils inside bottles/mugs/buckets/barrels.
Spoiled water causes you to loose hunger and sanity.


Water in the sea is salty, (ty captain!)
Drinking salty water damages.

Salt water restores less hydration and causes damage. The more salt there is in water, the more damage you will take and less thirst you will restore.


If you don't want to drink impure/salty water you can:
>1) Use bottles on campfires to cleanse it, doing this removes 60% water from it while also damaging bottle. (Only possible with golden or magic bottles.)
>2) Distill water with Water distillator.


Hydromato
New food. Restores 20 thirst, can be found in the forest. Useful for early-game.



New structure added to DS world. An endless water source.
