In Conan Exiles, hunger and thirst are essential survival mechanics that influence how players manage their characters throughout their adventures in the Exiled Lands. Players must regularly consume food and drink water to maintain their survival, making these mechanics an important part of the overall gameplay experience. Depending on your server's configuration, the rate at which hunger and thirst decrease can significantly affect the difficulty of survival and the amount of time players need to spend gathering and managing resources. As a server owner, you have the flexibility to customize these survival mechanics to better suit your community's preferences and desired gameplay experience. Whether you want to create a more challenging survival environment by increasing hunger and thirst depletion, make survival more manageable by slowing them down, or establish a balanced experience for new and experienced players, adjusting these settings allows you to tailor the server's difficulty to your liking. Modifying the hunger and thirst rates can also help accommodate different playstyles. For example, servers focused on casual gameplay may benefit from slower depletion rates, allowing players to spend more time exploring, building, and engaging in other activities without frequently worrying about food and water. On the other hand, servers aiming for a more demanding survival experience can increase these rates to make resource management a more important part of gameplay. In this guide, we will walk you through the process of accessing your Conan Exiles server configuration files and adjusting the hunger and thirst depletion settings to your preferred values. We will also explain how to apply your changes so that your server uses the updated rates, helping you create a survival experience that best matches your community's expectations.
