Description

Implement the Needs system that tracks biological (hunger, thirst, sleep) and psychological (social, safety) drives with decay and satisfaction mechanics.

Acceptance Criteria

Scenario: Needs system works
  Given an entity exists
  When Needs are implemented
  Then needs decay over time
  And needs can be satisfied through behaviors
  And urgent needs affect behavior prioritization

Technical Notes

  • Need types: Hunger, Thirst, Sleep, Social, Safety
  • Decay rates per need type
  • Satisfaction through consumption/interaction
  • Urgency thresholds trigger behavior interruption
  • Need modifiers from conditions (e.g., sickness increases sleep need)

Size: M (4 points)
Priority: P0
Phase: 1 - Foundation
