It's not that I think no one else has found them, it's more that the people who have found them are likely to be like minded survivors looking for quiet areas. Heat maps just make it easy for griefers, snipers and noobs to run straight to those locations looking for easy kills. As much as I think it would be interesting to see the heat maps, it WILL NOT do anything to help the game and MAY help griefers or cause more problems for the already struggling 'good' survivors. I would like to see more statistics for the last 24hrs though: -Murders -converts from survivors to bandits -converts from bandits to survivors (if any!!) -Fires lit -etc etc

I like the idea of some 'useless' interesting statistics but for the love of god don't give out kill death ratios or player location heat maps. K/D is for deathmatch games, do you want to encourage this further? Player locations can be guessed by those who explore, dont do the hard work for the lazy people!

Not much happening but not bad, I'd have probablly shot them after 5 mins though! Btw a 225km2 map means 15km x 15km, you were only about 12km apart not 120km!! :blush:

Black widow catapult/sling shot. Ball bearing ammo could be found in stores or houses or stones collected from certain outdoor areas. Very short range and only headshots kill. One headshot using ball bearings two using stones. Slow reload but can carry a lot of ball bearing ammo per inventory slot, 50 maybe? Less stones per inventory slot as larger ones would be needed to kill.

I really really really hope that this mod does not go down the route of 'leveling' or retaining ANYTHING once you die, if it does there will be very little that stands out about the game. I don't play that much and when I do it's with two other guys but right now my main complaint, if anything, would be that it's too easy. But then I do always play in the daylight! If there was some magical way to stop everyone shooting on sight without ruining the sandbox feel I'd be all for it but I just don't see how it could be done other than having a closed community. I'm all for banditry when you NEED that can of beans but I'm not a fan of killing just to be a dick.

Best solution would be that the tent remains on the server you pitched it (even when offline) but if you log onto another server it moves to that one. I guess this is difficult/not possible to code though especially if there is an object where your tent wants to be.

Excellent idea, names should definately be forced off, it's too easy to spot people you can't see. This method would then allow you to specifically remember friendlies and would help alot with pvp interaction, in my opinion.

Pre or Post patch .3?

Great mod, keep up the good work Rocket, will be happy to donate in future! Good to see the new temperature system, thought I’d make some suggestions for possible future content, surprisingly I've not seen anything about snares before, sorry if I've missed it. I’ve been thinking about survival in the woods and I feel these are a must: Snares could be left in the wild and have a chance of catching squirrels or rabbits after a certain time. They would need to be persistent and attached to the player. Unlike tents, other players should be able to pick them up if they come across them. There would obviously need to be a limit on how many you could place at once or they’d end up everywhere. Mushrooms should spawn randomly in forests and be able to be picked up. Mushrooms could either be eaten raw or you could use water/fire or similar to create mushroom stew. When eating mushrooms there should be a percentage chance of it making you ill and a lower chance of it killing you . To avoid users posting a guide on the internet to what ones are edible and what are not, we could have a ‘guide to edible mushrooms(book)’ loot item. If you have this book in your inventory you will not risk becoming ill/dying when eating them. Debris Huts should be buildable in the woods and would require a lot of wood/branches. They should shelter you from the effects of rain but be less efficient than a tent (assuming tents can shelter you now, I’ve not come across one yet!) /stands back and awaits flaming

First off, great mod, well done! I know that the day night cycle will not be changed and I understand why but it would be good if we could get some servers in the UK/EU that were 12 or 8 hrs behind. I only get to play after 20:00 GMT so it means EVERY time I play on a low ping server it's dark. I like playing in the dark sometimes but it seems a waste of such a good environment to never see it in the light! Playing on a server in USA for me means high pings which affects everyone else, not just me. Sorry if this has been mentioned before, had a quick look and didn't see it. Cheers.
