Bethesda has released an update to Fallout 4's Survival Mode, which is currently in beta on PC. This update, 1.5.146, adds one new feature (thirst, hunger, sleep, and diseases icons now change color based on status), while there are also lots of fixes and changes included with the patch.

　　With the update, the sleep cycle has been lowered from 24 hours to 14 hour days, while there is a reduced chance of getting a disease and you need to consume less food and drink to maintain proper sustenance. On the other hand, making things potentially more difficult, Fusion cores now weigh more, while your carry capacity has also been lowered.
