The HUD
The HUD in monitors the player's Oxygen, Hunger, Thirst, and Health. It also monitors the player's Temperature in Subnautica: Below Zero The full set is only present in survival and hardcore. In freedom, only health and oxygen are displayed. In Creative, none of these are present.

When the PDA is opened, the HUD will display numerical values in place of the icons, allowing players to track the exact amount of hunger they will gain from food, and how long they have until they must eat or drink.
