SoftCores - Soft Core Survival Overhaul

When the core softens, the game becomes harder. Designed to make "Red Dead Redemption 2" truly a survival game.

SoftCores

**If you look at the description of Red Dead Redemption 2, it says it is a survival game. But is it really? Welcome to SoftCores. **

*I tried to fix oversights in the survival mechanics to make them more closely integrated into the Wild West experience. *

🎯 Core features at a glance

• **🌡️ New temperature system overhaul**: Snow, rain, water immersion, ambient temperature, clothing, fire sources and indoor environment will all affect players.

• **🗺️ Dynamic hostile markers**: Only hostile target markers within the player's line of sight are displayed on the minimap.

• **🛁 True Bath**: Bathing now only restores the Death Eye core. You know the reason.

⚙️ In-depth adjustment of survival mechanism

• **Core Consumption**: Core consumption rate will vary based on time of day and temperature.
• **Life recovery**: The speed of life recovery is slowed down, recovery is stopped during combat, and the NPC recovery mechanism is also adjusted.

• **Dynamic Damage and Accuracy**:
• The player's shooting accuracy is linked to the Death Eye core.
• The accuracy of NPC is linked to its health value.
• Damage received is dynamically calculated based on current health.

💀 Hardcore Death Punishment

• **Death in the wild**: After death in the open world, you will lose all equipped and carried guns and ammunition.

• **Core & Money Penalty**: Empty all cores (inner and outer circles) and lose money at the specified percentage.

🛌Rest and replenishment

• **Sleep**: Sleep now only restores stamina. Want to regain your life? You have to go have Pearson's soup and coffee!

🔫 Combat system adjustment

• **Death Eyes**: Activating Death Eyes no longer automatically reloads your gun. (Due to RAGE engine restrictions on equipping identical guns)

✨ Visual and interactive optimization

• **Remove item highlighting**: Moonlight no longer "shines". Disabled the glow effect of all pickups and objects to make the world more realistic.

• **Eagle Vision Retained**: Don't worry, Eagle Vision still works.

🔧 Optional add-ons: SoftGuns

Introducing **SoftGuns**, an optional add-on that greatly increases the wear rate of your gun and can be customized to your liking.
