Drafting
Drafting essentially means to take manual control. By drafting a character you are taking manual control and giving specific orders to the character. This means they will not be able to carry out any tasks assigned to them in the crew management priorities menu. They will in fact do nothing unless you tell them to.
Drafting is mostly only used in combat situations. Only use draft when you want to manually command a character to go on a mission or you want to equip or give a very specific command. E.G. you want the character to use a medical bed at this instant and not later.
Note that shuttles can also be drafted and moved manually. By drafting both characters and a shuttle you can go on expeditions and explore derelict ships.
Forced Work
Forced work setting can be turned on in certain places, one of them being the systems menu. Forced work means a crew member with this setting is forced to work until exhaustion, ignoring their sleep and leisure schedules. Use this setting sparingly, as it could cause crew members to lose a lot of sleep and be unable to eat.
Starvation
Starvation occurs when a crew member eats poorly for many days in a row. Just like in real life, starvation cannot be cured by eating well one time. To cure starvation ensure that the crew member has access to food for a longer period of time.
