SurvivalNeeds Plugin is a data-driven Unreal Engine plugin that adds modular health, hunger, and thirst systems to any character.
It includes Blueprint-ready APIs, runtime events, configurable drain/regen logic, starvation and dehydration damage, fall damage, and a shared config asset.

You tweak one system -> something else breaks. You add a new mechanic -> suddenly everything depends on everything. So I stopped patching it and rebuilt it as a...
