Subnautica 2 Slower Thirst Degradation Mod v1.0.0.0

                    
Subnautica 2 makes thirst drain at a fairly fast pace, which can interrupt exploration and base building more often than it needs to. The Slower Thirst Degradation mod changes that timer so thirst and water drop every 60 seconds instead of every 15 seconds. Furthermore, the mod installs directly through the game’s pak override folder with no extra loader required. Consequently, hydration becomes less intrusive while still remaining part of the survival loop.
What’s Included

Thirst and water degradation slowed from 15 seconds to 60 seconds.
Three pak-related files for direct installation.

Why You Need This Mod
This mod is useful if you want survival pressure without having to stop your flow every quarter minute. It keeps thirst in the game while reducing how often it interrupts exploration, crafting, and travel. Additionally, it pairs well with longer sessions because you spend less time reacting to the timer and more time playing.
How to Get Started

Download the mod archive and extract it to your PC.
Open your Subnautica 2 installation folder and navigate to:
Subnautica2\Content\Paks\

Create a folder named ~mods inside Paks if it does not already exist.
Copy these three files into the ~mods folder:
zSlowerThirstDegradation60SN2_P.pak
zSlowerThirstDegradation60SN2_P.ucas
zSlowerThirstDegradation60SN2_P.utoc

Launch Subnautica 2. The slower thirst timer now applies automatically.
To uninstall, delete the three mod files from the ~mods folder.

Good to Know

This mod requires no extra manager or loader. It works through the standard ~mods folder.
All three files belong together. Do not install only one or two of them.
