As you build a new life in InZoi, you’ll find that Zois has dreams, urges, and ambitions for you to fulfill. Additionally, they have needs that will keep them alive. If these needs drop too low, life will become uncomfortable at best–and fatal at worst. To keep your Zois happy, you’ll need to make sure their needs are met.
There are multiple needs for you to manage throughout the day, and some actions you take will deplete your needs faster than others. Here’s everything you need to know about the needs in InZoi and how to keep them full all day long.
InZoi is in early access, so details are subject to change. As such, we’ll update our guides as needed.
How To Fulfill Needs
Zois have needs that must be met to keep them alive and content. These needs range from vital things like eating and sleeping to more social aspects, like recognition and energy. There are a total of eight needs Zois have–each with unique consequences.
Below, we’ve detailed the needs Zois have and how to keep them high so your Zois are safe and happy. Don’t neglect these needs unless you want Zois to be uncomfrtable and creep closer to a painful death.
How To Fill The Hunger Need
Hunger is a basic and straightforward need. Zois have to eat to survive, and they’re not very picky. You can open your fridge to cook a meal, grab a snack, or head out into the city to find a vendor or fast-food restaurant.
All food will fill the hunger need, though some meals are more satisfying than others.
If you want to cook better meals, you’ll need to practice and improve your cooking skill. You can also ask others to cook meals for you, though they won’t always agree to your request,
If the hunger need drops too low, Zois will die of starvation. Keep a close eye on this need!
How To Fill The Hygiene Need
Hygiene is an important part of a Zoi’s life. While being stinky won’t kill them, it will repel other Zois and effectively isolate your household. The best way to improve your hygiene need is to take a shower or bath.
Washing your hands is hygenic, but not nearly as effective.
You’ll want to keep your Zois clean as it correlates to other needs. Zois have trouble being social when they’re dirty, so a clean Zoi is a happy Zoi.
How To Fill The Sleep Need
Everyone needs sleep, and Zois are no different. If a Zoi goes too long without sleep, they’ll become fatigued. Extreme fatigue can be fatal, so if you see your Zoi stumbling around, put them to bed!
A bed is the best way to get some sleep and recover, though naps can be taken on sofas as well. Zois will take several hours to rest, so be sure to have all time-sensitive tasks completed before going to bed for the night.
If there are other Zois in the household, you can control them while a Zoi sleeps.
How To Fill The Bathroom Need
As a direct result of eating, Zois will need to use the bathroom. A nearby toilet is the fastest way to deal with this need. If you’re out on the town, most venues will have a toilet available.
You can also use a public restroom stall in areas like the park!
If this need gets too low, Zois will become uncomfortable and grow miserable. Helping them find a safe and clean place to relieve themselves will fix this.
How To Fill The Fun Need
Zois can’t just work without playing. They need hobbies and relaxing activities to take their minds off the hustle and bustle of life while blowing off some steam.
What each Zoi finds enjoyable will vary, so check their preferences for some ideas.
Some Zois will want to play video games while others will want to read or go out with friends. Zois that haven’t had enough free time to enjoy fun activities will slowly become miserable.
How To Fill The Social Need
It’s no fun being by yourself all the time, at least not when you’re a Zoi. The importance of socialization goes above and beyond just making friends. Socializing with other Zois can impact karma, which is the overall metric by which your city is measured.
For the social need, you’ll want to call your Zoi’s friends to hangout, meet new people, and engage with the community. A bit of fresh air and friendship will do wonders to meet this need.
How To Fill The Recognition Need
Recognition goes hand in hand with the social need, though it involves more karma. Zois want to be seen and recognized by their peers, which is easy to do with a high karma stat. However, those with terrible karma will have a harder time.
Zois are wary of those who have terrible karma, and thus make it far less likely for successful social interactions to occur in those relationships. Improving one’s karma will make it easier to improve this stat, though it can be done with poor karma.
How To Fill The Energy Need
The last need kept in the toolbar is the energy need. Zois can become lethargic if they don’t have enough energy to do their daily tasks. While similar to sleep in that your Zoi needs to rest, you don’t need to go to bed.
Instead, Zois can simply sit in a chair to rest and recover some energy. Be mindful of what your Zois need and how much their daily duties demand of them so you can keep them happy and healthy.
