weather cycles and other ideas

josepic

To start off I love this game, the adventure side but also the artistic side of things. I wouldn't call my self a hardcore gamer but here a few thing that I think could be included in future updates. The first thing i think could be added is a weather system. They could maybe add storms which can make it harder to swim because of the wind and make aggressive creatures more aggressive. A way you could know storm is coming is a notification can say a "A storm is approaching" like it does for night time. Another weather cycle can just simply be rain for aesthetics to stop the constant perfect weather to add a bit more realism to the game. another weather condition could be a heat wave which significantly increases the rate at which food and hydration bar decrease and the heat wave can last up to a few days and can be warned the same way as a storm. Another thing that I know a lot of other people have suggested is a way to sleep. There should also be a way to limit the amount of sleep you can get. I also think that there should be more vehicles or the already existing ones should be updated. Another thing that a lot have discussed is a way to recharge batteries. A design could be similar to the old power generator for sea bases and you should be able to put empty power cells into the charger and after a few hours (in game) they will be ready to use again. Another possible thing to add is another survivor. I know it will take away a bit of the solitary theme of the game but I will suggest it anyway. You could interact with them and give them items and food and they could collect resources and food. They should also have the ability to die so it makes you more careful of where you take them. now for some smaller things. The implementation of the bench was good but your not able to access your PDA which I think you should be able to do. I also think that with new solar eclipses that there could be maybe some kind of clam or something that open only then and will produce rare items. To finish off I really do love this game and even without the suggestions that I have made I think when it is fully released it will be fantastic.
