There hasnt been a developer journal about the survival elements

As the title says, I'd really like to hear about survival in this game.

If you don't eat, you die. That's how it works in our world, and in my opinion it's how it should work in Elyria.

Given that I'm very interested in playing a survivalist/explorer/outlander, I would really appreciate a dev journal to help clarify what the mechanics involved will be.

To be fair, there are quite a lot of important topics that haven't been covered in DJs yet. Combat, Land Selection, an in-depth look at character mechanics in general. Though I agree, some deeper information on the survival mechanics would be nice.

Umm... Caspian didn't participate in that thread. Those are all just players answering and a lot of it is speculation. It's not reliable information.

It's from the Q&A with Caspian and it's the closest we have to food and drink so far.

There is a lot about how equipment impacts survival in the developer journal on Equipment and Inventory.

We also know from the Game Guide that our characters vitality is made up of a combination of factors such as health, fatigue, hunger and thirst so all those factors affect your survivability. Though from the developers journal on Kingdoms and Land Management that having wells and taverns in your settlement will prevent people from dying of hunger or thirst in those settlements, so survival is something that is a bigger concern out in the wilds. Though of course you do still need make sure your tavern has access to food in order to get that benefit.

I think that clarifies a lot of the various mechanics to the sort of level that can be expected. There have also been a lot of answers about survival in the various Q&As but without knowing what interests you in particular I am not sure which Ines to direct you to. I can suggest This Awesome Site that allows you to search the older Q&As though.
