Crew Stress

---

This mod adds a stress system to Barotrauma.

If your crew gets hurt, watches people die, gets trapped in fires or flooding, works around broken equipment, runs low on oxygen, or has to deal with monsters and corpses in the sub, stress starts building up.

Stress gain is randomized, so different people will not always react the exact same way to the same situation.

Stress is meant to stick around. If the round turns into a disaster, the crew should actually feel like they went through one.

What high stress does

High stress is not just a number.

As stress rises, characters can start suffering actual gameplay penalties.

• Uneasy: minor stress effects start showing up, like reduced local voice range and light visual pressure.

• Rattled: repairs, healing, and weapon handling become worse. Characters may hesitate or fail actions more often.

  The higher the stress, the more unreliable the character becomes.

Substances and stress relief

Stress does not go away on its own very easily.

You can lower it with certain medical items and substances, including opium, morphine, fentanyl, stabilozine, chloral hydrate, ethanol, rum, beer, and other similar items.

These substances reduce stress, but they are mainly meant as emergency tools, not a perfect long-term solution.

Warning

Balance is still being worked on, more stress sources will be added over time, and there may still be bugs, weird edge cases, or errors. This is still very WIP.

There will be more updates in the future.
