I think NPC's can spot you from way too far at times. 3. Night/Day cycle is a bit too quick. 4. Battery life drains too quickly. 5. I think the capacity of larger containers should be a lot more. 6. Either have the "Sticky" board for mounting weapons already in your base or be available to buy from trader more often. ( Have yet to see the trader offer it. ) 7. Be able to sleep twice in a row without having to exit your base. Or at least give us an option of how long to sleep. 8. Its a little difficult for me to see the time of day on the clock in my UI. Not sure if that's just a problem with my eyes or if others find it difficult as well. Thats all i can think of right now, thank you for your hard work Antti.

2025-10-04 17:18:16 +0000 UTCOne more for the suggestions: Energy and hydration drain in maps could be a bit lower, and maybe a bit higher for the map transitions (maybe time of day progression could be slower overall?). Could work well, especially with the lowered spawn rate of standard consumables.

2025-10-04 13:03:12 +0000 UTCVery nice demo. The dynamic time of day especially makes much more of a difference than I anticipated. One bug I found: Trying to drag and drop equip an OZ5 onto an RK-95 causes the optic to disappear. Then a couple of suggestions. Maybe batteries should be a bit less rare? They feel almost as hard to find as armor. Also, feels like military crates could use a slightly higher drop rate for good stuff (armor & batteries in particular), but maybe the new special crates serve a similar purpose.
