Whether piling earth, moving stone, leaping chasms or fleeing enemies - your body wearies. And rest it must. But forget ye not the mysticsm of the world, the spiritual struggle your labors represent. The good earth that surrounds and the its gifts are not magic or fantasy, but that which connects you to the Unseen.&nbsp;</p> <p>Have no fear, traveler. A <em>good night&rsquo;s sleep</em> will sharpen your wits and focus your senses for what lies in store. Have a seat to recover strength or rest your bones by the fire&rsquo;s light. Pray to whatever gods will listen.</p> <p>But beware. Fatigue is a puckish goblin. It connives to confound you. Hills steepen as the plains unfold. The fathoms darken into murk as <strong>curses burden</strong> the land. Even the work of your very hands exposes jeopardy.</p> <p>So rest and be mindful. May goodness pass to you without grudge.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <hr /> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Fatigue</strong></p> <p>GNS "burns slowly". Fatigue accrues every second of every day. Relentlessly - as you work, fight and explore. But, the effects are <em>mercurial</em>. Over time, you might notice you&rsquo;re not quite yourself. Your hand slips on a knife. A hole seems a little harder to dig. Some feel wobbly or their eyes dim. They hear things. <em>See things.</em> The road home might become longer than you remember.</p> <p>You live with it. Fight through.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Rest reduces Fatigue</strong></p> <p>When effects become too...confounding, you&rsquo;ll find the peace of rest a welcome respite. Take rest when you need it.</p> <ul> <li>Have a seat. When sitting, fatigue accrues slowly.</li> <li>Work by firelight, the flame a restorative companion.</li> <li>Sleep. Restful slumber is a powerful medicine.</li> <li>Make Kesh, a narcotic, that temporaily alleviates FAtigue - but watch out for that crash!&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Reverence: Worship Reduces Fatigue</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition to <em>Rest</em>, ritual solemnity <em>before an altar</em> <em>or an idol</em> tempers fatigue. </span><span style="color: #bfbfbf;">If you are worthy, the Unseen will grant you favor and reduce Fatigue. But be forewarned. Punishment is heaped on those whose insolence makes them deserving.</span></p> <p>Perform sacred rites and the Unseen may reward your veneration. Or not. <em>Or worse.</em></p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Each altar:</span></em></p> <ul> <li><span style="color: #bfbfbf;">Reduces Fatigue at different rates. </span></li> <li><span style="color: #bfbfbf;">Each has its own limitations. With ome, you can take them with you and pray multiple times a day. Others will be destroyed if you attempt to move them. Others require anointment to reamin inviolate prevent "rot".</span></li> <li><span style="color: #bfbfbf;">Sit, at peace. Hold your knife to your heart and utter your petitions </span><strong style="color: #bfbfbf;">[hold Caps Lock]</strong><span style="color: #bfbfbf;">. May you receive a blessing to relieve your burdens.</span></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Burdens: Rewards and Punishments from the Unseen<br /></strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At times and at the whim of the great Darkness, a <em>burden</em> may be imposed upon the land. Have we earned disdain? By a single act or by many? Are they reminders of our limits and justified by our sacrilege? </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Know this. Within its boundary, every weight is heavier. Every step longer. Each moment a vice upon your mood and <em>your fatigue will accrue ever faster</em>.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Seek it, and face the challenge within. Hope to be rewarded for your labors and your sacrifice.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <hr /> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>I believe Vintage Story is well-balanced and smooth-playing as is (<em>with some favorite mods</em>). I didn't want to significantly intervene in the game mechanics or interrupt normal game-play. But as a role-player, endless toil without the need for rest disturbed my ability to suspend reality.&nbsp;GNS - Venerate Edition offers many new blocks, challenges and items to explore.</p> <p>Items created by GNS use <em>underutilized</em> items from the vanilla game. Bones hallowed by fire, tethered with Lupine, crushed into purified ash, combined with brittled Bowtorn arrows purify driftwood from which Idols are carved.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>GNS offers a status bar and HUD to show player fatigue (config to hide). You <em>can</em> work yourself to
