No matter how desperate you are, it's generally a bad idea to take the risk on rotten fruits. They give extremely little energy and water. And if you get sick, you risk losing way more energy and water than you gained from eating the fruit. Not to mention taking health and blood damage. Avoid hunting for food near the coast. And try to go inland. Look for houses where the doors have not been opened, as opened doors is a sign that someone else may have already looted it. If you cant find any unlooted homes. Then consider hopping to a different server. Drinking from well and ponds are currently safe. As infections are not implemented in game yet. And pretty much every town has at-least one well. So water is never a major issue. If you want a more in-depth information of how the health and food system works.

The problem seems to happen when you exit and re-enter a server. Hopefully this is something that's being addressed with the upcoming experimental patch. As it mentioned some fixes with dynamic lighting.

Any chance the art team will be ale to squeeze in the painted axe for stable release?

Are you kidding me? The m4 was ludicrously common. Are you even looking in the right places?

Obviously those thing will get fixed eventually. But every team member does different things. For instance the art guy working on like the Mosin repaints, can't exactly be shuffled over to the sound department to speed up the fixing of the sound bugs, as that is not his area of expertise. This is how the process of game development works. Some things will take longer than other things. Like adding new features is generally easier than tracking down and fixing bugs sometimes. Hopefully with the huge sales success they will be able to hire extra developers to help speed things up. But such a process can be quite slow. As it's not always easy finding qualified developers. Not to mention that they also have to spend time adjusting to the work environment and game engine. Plus having more personnel adds to management difficulties.

It's amazing how many idiots there are that don't bother reading the description before buying an early access game, and then go and complain when things don't work. It says on the store page very specifically not to buy this game, unless you are prepared to deal with a largely unfinished game. They also specify that it will take up to a year before they even reach Beta stage. It's not practical to simply slap on hotfixes every fuckin week. As you run the risk of causing more problems down the line. Secondly. IT IS A FUCKING ALPHA! Just because you payed money for it, does not entitle you to demand specific fixes. You can report the bugs you encounter. But being a whiny bitch is not productive to the development. The dev team work in the pace that works best for them. Some things will require extensive work before it can be released. And rushing out fixes to please some whiny cunts, will just end up slowing down overall development

10min for dead bodies to despawn feels a bit short. 30min would have felt a bit more reasonable. Part of the fun is finding a recent battle/massacare, with several bodies all over the place. Which act as a bit of a warning to others to stay away.
