High Thirst negative

High Thirst is generous points for a problem that water solves — until water stops being free.

It grants 6 points for needing to drink more often. Water is everywhere early, so the cost feels imaginary at first.

Almost zero. Taps run, bottles are everywhere, and drinking is trivial.

Rises after the water shutoff. You now manage a faster-draining thirst bar against rain collectors and stored water.

Fully manageable with rain collectors and a riverside base — the infrastructure makes the trait a non-issue.

The trait is really a test of whether you prepared for the water shutoff. Prepared survivors barely notice it; unprepared ones get a harsh reminder.

Yes if you commit to a proper water setup; otherwise it can bite mid-game.

Seen as good value for players who build rain collectors early, and a nuisance for those who do not.
