i think sandbox values would be nice, i like it but it get to strong. As is pasive i went to the mall in gost mode and the poor get exausted sitting in the floor.

I think a good idea is place a limit like 75% exaustion so upper that level it can rise by panic and only by actions and running itself like changing line 14 for: if panic >= 65 and endurance > 25 then

I'm digging it, but the out of breath panicked breathing sound effect is really loud (assuming that's from this mod, otherwise I'll delete this comment)

Any chance of getting some sandbox options for your suite of mods? I love them but as you said, you are still trying to nail the balance and it seems like this on in particular is a bit on the aggressive side.

@a three-colored carp maybe it will make you a bit thirsty as well, thanks for feedback!

Panic Makes You Thirsty

@...v.2 if this was the case then we would have to make it so that only those with cowardly trait get in a panic. I would better suggest pairing this mod with the "Become Desensitized" mod by: Monkey. Which after killing a certain amount of zombies you become not scared of them anymore.

@orcslayer94 one thing you could do, is only make people with the cowardly trait become out of breath from panic.

Also lets note there seems to be a different moodle also for fear, which currently is not visible I believe. Thoughts behind this is the player is having a panic attack, which a symptom of could be shortness of breath. Making it harder for them to run and needing them to sit down or rest to calm themselves down and catch their breath. @...v.2 @E_Tgirl

playing around another type of mechanic like this one is trying to could be interesting although i would have to say something interesting would be if adrenaline junkie would negate it or lower the amount you get taken out of breath since adrenaline junkies seek something that panics them since theyre far more seasoned in making use of the rush it gives them.

@E_Tgirl yes, but that mod doesn't also reduce exhaustion itself, it only reduces tiredness.

@...v.2 there is already a mod like that called adrenaline that reduces sleepiness which will in turn help stamina recovery while panicked since your stamina is now recovering at normal rates. it has that effect as well, once you are not panicked you will get hit like a truck harder with sleepiness.

from personal experience, when i am terrified, i get more endurance, most likely from a adrenaline response, but, after the panic goes away, the exhaustion and tiredness hits like a truck, a interesting re-work, could be that panic reduces exhaustion and tiredness, but, when the panic goes away, you re-gain all exhaustion and tiredness, and alot more of it.
