About This File
This is my edit of Auto Eat and Drink in Survival (ESL) by wim95, adding support for RSE's Advanced Needs system. I haven't tested it extensively, but it seems to work as expected for me. I've officially been blessed by wim95 with the permission to redistribute here. I've only tested with the latest AAF-RSE release 3.9.9.8. If you don't have Advanced Needs activated, you should still be able to use this mod for a Hardcore playthrough.
Description from the official page:
As description - copy/past from Fallout 4 Mod Requests
"This is a simple request:
I am tired of using hotkey and open pip-boy to eat food and drink water in survival mode. It is game braking when facing tons of combats.
Please create a mod ... that can auto detect hunger and thirst level. Then auto eat and drink proper food and water in your inventroy."
Since v.1.1.0 added Mod Configuration Menu support.
With MCM you can turn off notifications, tweak consumption options.
Without MCM will use the default settings:
- "Not Found" notifications - ON
- "Items Left" Notifications - ON
- Consumption of caffeinated products - ON
- Number of caffeinated products that can be consumed - 3
- Consumption of caffeinated products containing alcohol - OFF
- Ignore "State" condition - OFF
- Consumption of products from category "Never Eat" - OFF
What food and drinks consumed and in what order?
All food and drinks are categorized and placed on lists of consumption.
Categories for food:
- Food to Never Eat. Has buffs "Cure All Addictions", "Fortify Carry Weight", "Fortify Strength"
- Simplest Clean Food. Has only one buff "Restore Health"
- Simple Clean Food. Have buffs to health "Restore Health", "Incr. Heal Rate", "Fortify Health", "Restore Action Points", "Fortify Action Points", "Remove Radiation", "Radiation Resistance"
- Clean Food with Buffs. Has other buffs
- Radioactive Food. Has debuff "Radiation Damage"
- Food used in Crafting. Has debuff "Radiation Damage"
- Food with Standard Disease Risk. Has different buffs or debuffs
- Food with Standard Disease Risk used in Crafting. Has different buffs or debuffs
- Food with High Disease Risk. Has different buffs or debuffs
- Food with High Disease Risk used in Crafting. Has different buffs or debuffs
Categories for water:
- Clean Water
- Simplest Clean Water
- Simple Clean Water
- Clean Water with Buffs
- Radioactive Water
- Water used in Crafting
- Water with Standard Disease Risk
Categories for caffeinated products:
- Caffeinated products to Never Drink
- Caffeinated products
Caffeinated products can be consumed after sleep in "Tired" and lower state. (With MCM can be turned off.)
With MCM configurable from 1 to 10 times, but recommended no more than 3 times. Why only 3 times?
Copy/past from HC_ManagerScript: "To prevent staving off sleep forever by caffeinating, we increase it by the standard value scaled by the number of times caffeinated." End copy/past.
First time caffeine/extra caffeine sleep delay: 2.3/7.0 hours
Second time caffeine/extra caffeine sleep delay: 1.2/3.5 hours
Third time caffeine/extra caffeine sleep delay: 0.8/2.3 hours
Fourth time caffeine/extra caffeine sleep delay: 0.6/1.8 hours
It turns out that more than three times does not make sense
Items for consumption are taken randomly from a category. Consume before "State" state or before end consumable items in this category.
With MCM you can turn on ignore "State" condition and it will happen: "Also i want to eat as soon as im hungry no matter what i have, as well as drink whenever im thirsty with whatever drink i have".

What's New in Version 1.2.0.3
Released
Now 80% less hacky kludge to make it work with RSE. I won't get into all the details but I was basically cloning a lot of the underlying operations that made it work with RSE instead of working cooperatively, because of my limited understanding of how the scripting language works... as I've learned more, I made it better. Promise. Now it actually works correctly with food, drink, and caffeine rather than being a series of ugly hacks. Please, download and use this one.
