Starvation features a structured survival progression system that guides players from basic survival skills to advanced survival mastery. Progression is tied to survival tiers (1-5), with each tier unlocking new survival mechanics, tools, and capabilities. Tier 1 focuses on basic hunger/thirst management, Tier 2 introduces temperature regulation and disease control, Tier 3 enables hunting and food preservation, Tier 4 unlocks advanced medical treatment and resource management, and Tier 5 provides complete survival self-sufficiency and environmental mastery. Each tier requires specific resource investments, skill point allocations in survival skills, and previous tier completion, encouraging strategic planning and specialization. Multiplayer servers benefit from role distribution where different players can specialize in different survival branches (hunting, medical, scavenging) for cooperative advancement.
