 Many factors influence how quickly a creature will recover lost HP.
-*[[Thirst]] plays a significant role in how quickly one recovers HP.  A completely dehydrated creature will lose 10% of their HP every 5 seconds.  Having a more quenched thirst will result in HP recovering much more quickly than a thirstier creature.
+*[[Comfort]] is the main influence for HP regeneration.  Low levels of comfort will cause HP to decay, while high levels comfort rapidly improve HP regeneration.
-*[[Food]] plays a similar, and equally significant role in how quickly one recovers HP.  A starving creature will lose 10% of their HP every 5 seconds.  Having a more well-fed creature will result in HP recovering much more quickly than a hungrier creature.
+*[[Thirst]] plays a significant role in how quickly one recovers HP, as hydrated creatures regenerate HP faster.  A completely dehydrated creature will lose 10% of their HP every 5 seconds. For Aquatic creatures, Thirst is replaced with the Oxygen stat, but has identical mechanics tied with HP regeneration.
-*[[Comfort]] plays a very significant role in how quickly a creature recovers or loses HP.  A low comfort rating will cause HP to decay, and completely empty comfort due to distress from [[Weather|storms]] or [[Ocean|deep saltwater]] will rapidly decay HP.
+*[[Food]] plays a similar and equally significant role in how quickly one recovers HP, as well-fed creatures regenerate HP faster, though at the cost of discomfort due to over-eating.  A starving creature will lose 10% of their HP every 5 seconds.
 *Different creatures have different baseline rates at which they recover HP.
 *Having low thirst and hunger simultaneously can result in HP decay, even if neither resource is completely empty, especially if the creature has lower comfort.
