# CAS Metabolism V2

Advanced RedM metabolism and survival HUD for VORP and RSG Core — hunger, thirst, hygiene, stress, bladder, temperature, alcohol and body weight, drawn on RDR2's own inked HUD and fully customizable b

**CAS Metabolism V2** is a complete metabolism, needs and survival-HUD system for **RedM**. Hunger, thirst, hygiene, stress, the bladder, alcohol, temperature and body weight — each one simulated, each one drawn on a bar built from RDR2's own inked discs, and every element of that bar movable, resizable and recolourable by the player looking at it.

It runs on **VORP Core** and **RSG Core**. The resource detects which one your server runs on boot and needs no code changes either way.

{% hint style="success" %}
No SQL to import, one commented config file, 49 exports, English and Turkish built in. You can be live in five minutes — see [Installation](/script-documentation/cas-metabolism-v2/installation.md).

## What your players get

* **Five living needs** — hunger, thirst, hygiene, stress and bladder, each with its own orb that fills and drains as they play.
* **Body weight that shows** — a character fills out or wastes away over days of play, and it reshapes the character model, not just the bar.
* **Real temperature** — pulled from the live weather, the altitude and what the character is wearing.
* **Alcohol, staged** — a stumbling walk, blurred vision, passing out and throwing up, tuned stage by stage.
* **Relieving yourself** — with proper animations and a witness check.
* **Smoking, eating and drinking** — using the game's own animations and props.
* **A settings panel** every player can open to move, resize, recolour and re-icon every part of the HUD, and switch °C/°F and kg/lbs.

## What you get

* One config file, commented line by line — turn any whole system off and it costs nothing elsewhere.
* **49 exports**, so any other resource can read and write every value here.
* English and Turkish out of the box, one setting to switch, and drop-in files for any other language.
* **No SQL to run** — the table builds itself the first time the resource starts.
