Survival Crafting is an agent skill from gamedev-skills/awesome-gamedev-agent-skills. Build a survival-crafting game: resource gathering, inventory, crafting and a tech tree, needs (hunger/thirst/temperature), and base building. Use for a survival or crafting/base-building game.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/needs-and-crafting.md`).

It sits in Game Development, covering Game development. The repository describes itself as: 74 game-dev skills for AI coding agents — Godot, Unity, Unreal, Phaser, PixiJS, three.js, Bevy, pygame, LÖVE, Roblox. Portable SKILL.md Agent Skills (the format Anthropic… The licence is Apache-2.0.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0a70cfc. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Survival Crafting loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 611 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~3.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

name: survival-crafting
description: Build a survival-crafting game: resource gathering, inventory, crafting and a tech tree, needs (hunger/thirst/temperature), and base building. Use for a survival or crafting/base-building game.

Survival Crafting

A playbook for survival-crafting games — the gather → craft → build loop, survival needs, the crafting/tech progression, and base building. This is a compositional skill: it orchestrates inventory data, world content, persistence, and threats. It does not re-teach those primitives; it defines the loop and the pressure systems (needs, scarcity, escalation) that make survival tense rather than tedious.

When to use

Use when the player gathers resources, crafts items/structures, manages survival needs, and builds a base against escalating threats: survival sandbox, crafting/base-building game.
Use when designing needs (hunger/thirst/temperature), a crafting tech tree, gathering loops, or base placement/building.

When not to use: crafting as a minor RPG feature → rpg. Permadeath grid dungeon → roguelike. For inventory/items as data assets, use godot-resources / unity-scriptableobjects; for world generation, procedural-gen.

Core loop

Gather raw resources → craft tools/items → build and upgrade a base → manage survival needs → explore farther for better resources → survive escalating threats → repeat at a higher tier. Each loop should unlock the next loop (better tools → reach new biomes → new resources → better crafts). When that ladder breaks, the game becomes a grind.

Must-have systems

Resource nodes + gathering — harvestable world objects; tool requirements/tiers; respawn.
Inventory — stacks, capacity (slots or weight), drop/transfer, hotbar.
Crafting — recipes (inputs → output), a crafting station/tech gate, a tech tree.
Survival needs — hunger, thirst, temperature, stamina, health, with decay + consequences.
Base building — placeable structures, a build grid/snapping, storage, crafting stations.
World + day/night — biomes/resources (often procedural); a time cycle driving threats.
Threats — hostile creatures/weather/events that escalate; combat or avoidance.
Save/load — world state, inventory, base, needs, progression; large-world persistence.

Design knobs

Knob	Effect	Notes
Needs decay rates	pressure cadence	Slow enough to explore, fast enough to matter.
Need-failure consequence	stakes	Damage over time, not instant death.
Resource scarcity / respawn	exploration push	Scarce near base → travel for more.
Tool tiers / gating	progression ladder	Better tool → new node types.
Recipe complexity / tech depth	long-term goals	Multi-step chains, not flat lists.
Inventory limit (slots/weight)	logistics tension	Forces base trips and storage.
Threat escalation curve	difficulty over time	Night/seasonal/event ramps.
Day length	rhythm	Day = gather, night = defend.

Patterns

1. Needs decay with graded consequences

python

# Pseudocode in the per-frame/per-tick update. dt = seconds. Needs fall; failure bleeds HP.
def update_needs(p, dt):
    p.hunger = max(0, p.hunger - HUNGER_RATE * dt)
    p.thirst = max(0, p.thirst - THIRST_RATE * dt)
    p.temp   = approach(p.temp, ambient_temperature(p), TEMP_RATE * dt)

    # Consequences are graded, not binary: warnings, then attrition — never instant death.
    if p.hunger == 0 or p.thirst == 0:
        p.hp -= STARVE_DAMAGE * dt          # damage over time creates urgency with recovery room
    if p.temp < COLD_THRESHOLD or p.temp > HEAT_THRESHOLD:
        p.hp -= EXPOSURE_DAMAGE * dt
    if p.hunger > 0 and p.thirst > 0 and not exposed(p):
        p.hp = min(p.max_hp, p.hp + REGEN_RATE * dt)   # safe + fed => heal

2. Crafting: validate, then atomically consume inputs

python

# Pseudocode. Recipes are data: inputs -> output, with an optional station/tech requirement.
recipe = {"id": "stone_axe",
          "inputs": {"wood": 3, "stone": 2}, "output": ("stone_axe", 1),
          "station": "workbench", "requires_tech": "basic_tools"}

def can_craft(recipe, inv, tech, station):
    if recipe.get("requires_tech") and recipe["requires_tech"] not in tech: return False
    if recipe.get("station") and recipe["station"] != station: return False
    return all(inv.count(item) >= n for item, n in recipe["inputs"].items())

def craft(recipe, inv, tech, station):
    if not can_craft(recipe, inv, tech, station): return False
    for item, n in recipe["inputs"].items(): inv.remove(item, n)   # consume all, then add
    inv.add(*recipe["output"])                                     # atomic: no partial craft
    return True

3. Gathering gated by tool tier

python

# Pseudocode. A node yields only if the held tool meets its required tier.
def harvest(node, tool):
    if tool.tier < node.required_tier:
        return notify("Need a better tool")        # e.g. stone node needs a pickaxe, not fists
    node.hp -= tool.power
    if node.hp <= 0:
        spawn_drops(node.drop_table)               # weighted drops (see roguelike loot pattern)
        node.start_respawn(node.respawn_time)      # node returns later; world isn't depleted forever

Pitfalls / failure modes

Needs that kill instantly → frustration and save-scumming. Make failure damage over time, with clear warnings and a recovery path (Pattern 1).
Grind without a ladder → gathering that never unlocks new gathering. Each tier must open the next (better tool → new node → new resource → better craft).
Non-atomic crafting → inputs consumed but output not granted on an edge case. Validate first, then consume-and-add as one step (Pattern 2).
Inventory with no limits → no logistics tension and no reason for a base/storage. Cap by slots or weight.
Permanently depleting the world → players strip the map and quit. Respawn nodes or regenerate resources over time.
Per-frame decay unscaled by dt → needs drain at different speeds on different hardware. Scale by dt.
No save / fragile save of a large world → a crash wipes hours. Persist world+base+needs incrementally; version it (see save-systems).
Flat threat curve → no late-game pressure. Escalate via night/season/event tiers.

Composition (build it from these skills)

Items/recipes as data: godot-resources / unity-scriptableobjects — items, recipes, tech tree, drop tables.
World: procedural-gen for biomes/resource placement; level-design for authored areas.
Persistence: save-systems for large-world state, base, inventory, needs, and versioning.
Threats: game-ai for creatures; the engine physics skill for melee/collision.
Building/placement: godot-tilemap / unity-tilemap-2d (2D) or godot-3d-essentials (3D) plus UI snapping.
UI: game-ui-ux for inventory/crafting/HUD layout and scaling; godot-ui-control for the concrete inventory, crafting menu, needs HUD, and build mode.
