7 DAYS TO LIVE - Version 16.0

Version 16.0 focuses on balance, gameplay pacing, and survival improvements.

Changes

• Reduced damage from all 7 Days To Live hostile entities by 4%.
• Rebalanced Smiley-related events so they are more spaced out and less spammy.
• Reduced frequent Smiley scare spawns with new cooldown spacing.
• Wraith Cat grab cooldown increased to 15 seconds.
• Grasping Hand/Devil Hand grab now lasts 4 seconds.
• Removed the procedure that executes when joining the game "i need to get out of here".
• Disabled the Smiley Gamemode selection system, including Blood Moon/Nightmare mode UI and related sync/vote behavior.
• Reworked hunger-based passive regeneration:
  • Players now regenerate health passively when they have food.
  • Higher hunger means faster regeneration.
  • Lower hunger means slower regeneration.
  • No regeneration at 0 hunger.
  • This does not change the maximum food bar.
• Players now have +5 extra hearts.
• Wendigo movement speed reduced by half.
• Reduced creature spawn weights by 3 to make natural spawns less overwhelming.

Notes

This update is mainly a balance and polish patch aimed at making the mod feel less spammy, more fair, and better paced while keeping the horror pressure intact.
