	Designing [[Sustenance Rewards]] consists of two main aspects. First, what should the [[Rewards]] consist of which players more or less continuously need. Second, and most likely more challenging to design, when should these be able to get to fit the speed with which players need the sustenance provided by the [[Rewards]]. Typical examples of [[Sustenance Rewards]] are [[Ammunition]] and [[Money]], which is not to surprising since they both are [[Resources]] that players typically use and may run out of. In games with [[Time Limits]], receiving more time can be seen as a [[Sustenance Rewards\|Sustenance Reward]] ([[Sega Rally]] is an example of this). However, any [[Resources\|Resource]] that can run out can serve as the basis for [[Sustenance Rewards]].		Designing [[Sustenance Rewards]] consists of two main aspects.

	The need for [[Sustenance Rewards]] can be created through the presence of some patterns. Most generally, any type of [[Consumers]] can create the need for whatever [[Resources\|Resource]] or other things they consume. Less generally, the presence of [[Vehicles]] can require [[Sustenance Rewards]] in the form of fuel if players are supposed to be able to continue using them.

	''~~The one-sentence "definition"~~ that ~~should be in italics~~.''		''Rewards consisting of replenishing resources that are constantly consumed.''

	~~This pattern is~~ a ~~still~~ a ~~stub~~.		Many games require players to constantly consume some type of resource or otherwise drive a game system towards a bad game state. [[Sustenance Rewards]] are those rewards that provide players with more of this resource or move the system away from the bad game state, thereby prolonging the time until negative consequences occur.
