Needs
Needs are a fundamental mechanic in inZOI. Every Zoi has 8 core needs that must be fulfilled. Neglecting these needs can lead to negative consequences, while keeping them satisfied ensures a thriving Zoi.
In inZOI, Needs represent the basic requirements for survival and well-being. These must be managed alongside a Zoi's broader goals. There are eight distinct Needs, each with specific methods to address them, ranging from eating and sleeping to socializing and resting.
All Needs
The following table lists all eight Needs in inZOI and how to fulfill them:
| Need | How to Solve |
|---|---|
| Hunger | Consume food via a refrigerator, vending machine, food truck, or restaurant. |
| Cleanliness | Use a shower, bath, or sink to boost hygiene needs. |
| Sleep | Getting sufficient sleep is essential. Sleep in a bed or nap in a chair to increase sleep needs. |
| Bathroom | Use the toilet to alleviate bathroom needs. |
| Fun | Participate in activities relevant to preferences. For example: Reading, exercising, being creative, or watching TV. |
| Social | Interact and socialize with other Zois. |
| Recognition | Interact with other Zois to receive recognition. |
| Vigor | Make sure your Zoi takes time to rest to avoid burnout from work. They need to sleep fully and participate in preferred activities. |
Additional Information
Fulfilling Needs is critical for a Zoi’s survival and ability to engage in other activities. For instance, a Zoi with low Hunger or Sleep may struggle to complete tasks, while unmet Social or Recognition needs could impact their happiness. Preferred activities for Fun and Vigor vary by Zoi, reflecting their individual personality and interests.
