Rested Bonus and Resting Effects

Rested Bonus

Your character will feel rested once they finish resting, thus granting them a Rested Bonus. With the Rested Bonus, your health and stamina regen is higher. You can keep track of how long your rested buff will be active with a timer on the top right corner of the screen.

There is also a hidden Rested Bonus that was added in. It is not stated in game nor in any of the patchnotes, but there is a 50% increarse in exp gain for you skills while the buff is active!

Resting

Resting can only be achieved if your character is sheltered from the weather and is warmed by a cozy fire. This can be achieved by building a roof, using the cover of thick trees, or generally anything that shelters you from the elements. You know your character is resting when a Zzz symbol appears on your screen.

Comfort Level Effects

The Comfort Level of your character can affect their overall performance in-game as this can affect your Rested Bonus. In the start, it lasts for 7 minutes at zero comfort. For every comfort level, you add to it, it adds a minute to the buff, with the maximum being 24 minutes of the Rested Bonus.

Building a shelter, making a fire, and crafting furniture are the only ways to add comfort. The higher the comfort level, the longer the Rested Bonus.
