Comfort & Rested
How shelter, warmth, and comfort create the Rested buff.
Last updated: 2026-07-26
The Rested buff increases maximum stamina and stamina regeneration. Its strength depends on character level; Comfort extends the buff's duration rather than making the stamina bonus stronger.
Requirements
To begin resting, you need:
- no nearby threat;
- shelter;
- warmth;
- at least one source of comfort;
- sitting or sleeping.
Build a reliable rest room
Place a bed or bench near a heat source in a fully roofed room. Add comfort objects from different categories and check the active Comfort value rather than assuming every decorative object stacks.
Musical instruments from the Bard can temporarily contribute to comfort. Survivor shelter and a practical crafting layout can coexist with a high-comfort communal room.
What character level changes
At level 1, Rested provides 40 bonus stamina and 4 stamina regeneration. Bonus stamina increases by 8 on every even level, while stamina regeneration increases by 4 each level.
