Version 1.0. Build your survival game on a foundation that already works.

Survival Systems Kit is a complete, production-ready first-person survival template for Unity 6. Gather, craft, build, farm, hunt and survive the night on a stylized low-poly island that plays the moment you press Play – then turn it into your own game without rewriting a single system.

14 SYSTEMS – EACH ONE USABLE ON ITS OWN

• Items – data-driven definitions: name, icon, category, stack size, tool type, durability and food effects

• Inventory – 24-slot grid and 8-slot hotbar: stack, split, move, drop and pick up, with tooltips

• Equipment & tools – axe, pickaxe, club, spear, bow and torch, held in first-person hands animated in code

• Gathering – trees that fall, rocks, berry bushes and iron ore, with required tools, yields and regrowth

• Crafting – recipes in data; craft by hand or at a workbench, campfire or forge, with a timed queue

• Vitals – health, hunger, thirst and stamina, death and respawn

• Building – grid and socket snapping for foundations, floors, walls, doorways, doors, windows, stairs and roofs, with a live placement preview and demolish with refund

• Interaction & storage – look-at prompts, chests with their own inventory, doors

• Time of day – a full day and night cycle with sun, moon, ambience and dawn and dusk events

• Save & load – the whole world in JSON: player, inventory, chests, buildings, crops, animals and resources; 3 slots plus autosave

• Combat – club, spear (jab or throw) and bow with arrows you pick up again; damage, knockback and hit reactions

• Wildlife – rabbits and deer flee, boars fight back, wolf packs hunt – and keep their distance from fire

• Farming & cooking – plots, seeds, watering, growth over in-game days, harvest; a campfire grill with cooked, burnt and spoiled food

• Editor tools – Content Wizard, data validator, Palette Editor and an in-game debug panel

TOOL TIERS UP TO STEEL

Start with crude tools made by hand, upgrade to stone at the workbench, then mine iron ore, smelt bars at the forge and forge steel tools that gather faster and last longer.

MADE FOR DEVELOPERS

• No code needed for new content: add items, recipes, buildables, resource nodes and animals with the Content Wizard

• Clean, commented C# in its own namespace, with assembly definitions, events and interfaces – systems never depend on each other's classes

• Keyboard, mouse and gamepad, with every key rebindable at runtime

• One-click Setup applies the URP settings the demo needs – your Project Settings are never overwritten

• Six smoke tests prove the kit works in your project

• Zero console errors and warnings; works with Domain Reload turned off

• Full documentation: Quick Start, a chapter for every system, how-to guides, an architecture diagram, API reference and FAQ (Markdown and PDF)

WHAT'S IN THE BOX

• A stylized low-poly demo island (about 220 × 215 m): start camp, meadows, pond, hill with iron ore, pine forest and wolf den

• 113 models and 111 prefabs, 45 item icons, 68 UI sprites, one shared palette texture

• 483 sound effects with day and night ambience

• Stylized fire, smoke, dust and impact effects
