As you live your dream life inInZoi, there are multiple things to consider for your Zoi to keep them healthy, positive, and in a good mental state. This involves maintaining all their needs while also paying attention to their urges and what they enjoy doing to enrich their life.
Monitoring every aspect of your Zoi can be a bit challenging, especially since you might focus too much on their life and forget your own. We don’t want that to happen, right? This is where Autonomy comes in - it allows you to focus on both your life and your Zoi’s life.
InZoi is in early access on Steam, and the content will change over time. We will update this guide as we get new information.
Autonomy, Explained
Autonomy, also known asFree Will, refers towhen your Zoi acts on its own using AI, and this primarily depends on how you’ve customized your Zoi.
So, depending on thetraitsandpreferencesyou’ve set, your Zoi will mostly act based on those choices.
For example, if any of your Zoi’s Needs drop low; let’s say your Zoi gets hungry -they will automatically go to the fridgeand get something to eat or cook if that’s part of their preferences, and so on.
This autonomy extends beyond just the house; your Zoi will also interact with other people, have conversations, make friends, and more.
The extent of this autonomy also applies when your Zoi isstudyingorworking.
They will complete their tasks automatically, but keep in mind that this doesn’t mean they will always get everything right.
How To Turn On And Off Autonomy
Just like anything else in the game,you can choose to enable or disable Autonomy with just one click.
On the in-game screen, look belowwhere your Zoi’s Needs are, and right next to it, you’ll find theoption to turn Autonomy on or off.
Alternatively, you canpress T on your keyboardto toggle it on or off for people who like shortcuts.
You may be wondering whether it’s better to keep Autonomy on or off, and there’s no definitive answer -it all depends on your preferences.
If you want full control over your Zoi’sactions, making every decision, conversation, and move, then you shouldkeep Autonomy off.
However, be cautious when Autonomy is off, as you’ll need to monitor every single need of your Zoi and verify it’s filled. If you overlook things for too long, it could negatively affect your Zoi or even lead to them dying.
On the other hand, if you prefer tolet your Zoi make their own decisionsand take care of themselves, then you can turnAutonomy on.
Your Autonomy status can be seen by the eye icon above your Zoi’s head:
