Survival Mode

Survival mode is a lightweight "survival" addon built to add immservice elements to WoW. Thirst/Hunger/Energy meters, build shelters, campfires, and more.

Survival Mode

Endure the world, or be broken by it.

Survival Mode transforms World of Warcraft into a test of endurance and grit. Not all threats wear armor—some ride the wind, or simmer beneath the sun. This addon brings the elements to life, tracking temperature, shelter, rest, and more across nearly every zone.


Key Features:

Dynamic Temperature System - Every zone—and most subzones—now has a unique temperature. Blistering heat and bitter cold affect your stamina, thirst, and sleep quality. Extreme conditions trigger visual effects to warn the weary.

Shelter & Campfires - Pitch tents from Dragonflight (Expeditioner's Tent, Gnoll Tent, Market Tent) to improve local warmth and sleep quality. Drop campfires for added heat and comfort while you rest.

Tavern & City Bonuses - Sleeping in inns, towns, or cities grants stronger recovery. Civilization has its comforts, after all.

Perk System - Earn XP passively by exploring, running, and surviving. Spend it on perks that improve sleep, slow down hunger and thirst, and give you the edge to keep going.

Food & Drink Quality - Every food and drink item restores survival stats by a different percentage. Basic fare like stale bread or cheap water will get you by, but the wise cook—or pay—for quality. Higher-tier items restore more, and perks can increase the benefits further.


Upcoming Features:

  • Skinning, Cooking, and Fishing Support – Hunt, prepare, and feed yourself like a true survivor.
  • New Perks – Broaden your skills and adapt to harsher lands.
  • Comfort System – Rest easier on chairs, crates, and curiosities from across Azeroth.

Please Note: This is a small project I created to help myself learn Lua, so there may be some bugs. If you have any feedback, ideas for improvements, or suggestions for new features, feel free to leave a comment! Originally an internal project for the Iron Circle Guild on Moonguard.
