SOTF Survival Stats Tracker
Sons of the Forest's five survival stats are deeply interconnected. Select your server's day length to see relative drain urgency, and use the danger cascade diagram to understand when each stat becomes critical.
Server Day Length
Depletes over time. Eating food restores it. Falls to 0% → Health drains.
Depletes faster than Hunger. Drink from streams, bottles, or cooking. Falls to 0% → Health drains.
Depletes from activity and wakefulness. Sleeping in a bed restores it. Low Energy = reduced Stamina cap.
Only regenerates when Hunger + Thirst + Energy are ALL above 25%. Lost to combat, falls, and starvation.
Used for sprinting, combat, and climbing. Recovers when idle. Max is reduced by danger stats, cold, and wetness.
Danger Cascade
When any primary stat drops below 25%, a chain reaction begins:
Hunger / Thirst / Energy drops below 25%
Active "hungry / thirsty / tired" state begins. On-screen indicator appears.
Health regeneration stops
Health ONLY regenerates when Hunger, Thirst, AND Energy are all above 25%. One stat in the danger zone = no healing.
Maximum Stamina reduced
Any stat in danger zone reduces your Stamina ceiling. Cold weather and wetness further reduce Stamina max independently.
Health begins draining
If Hunger or Thirst reaches 0%, Health starts draining. Starvation and dehydration kill faster than most enemies.
