Read the update log and/or search... 1) Open up you inventory and right click on the bandage to select to use. Same thing for food and water. 2) Look on the forums for more info about temperature. They're the first few topics on most of the boards.
I haven't ever been to the island but that place would seem to be the perfect place to hide some stash of loot for a determined group. A single person trying to solo there without a boat would be going there for mostly nothing since you can lose your stuff if you swim.
Is there no way for servers to kill people who disconnect after they take damage for about 10 seconds? If possible, I would see it as a good way to stop people from disconnection from some serious shit. Confrontations usually last for less than a minute. Maybe 30 seconds so a 10 second timer after getting hit would be fine.
I find the changes to be fine. Its still my gun of choice since you can find so much ammo for it. If I get into a fight with a horde, I still manage to come out with 20-30 rounds left. More than enough to keep me going until the next town where I WILL find a few more pickups.
If a zed gets you, you could always hoof it back to where you died and recover your stuff, if nobody got to your body first. If someone kills you... it isn't hard to get back to where you were. Does it suck? Yes but it makes killing that SOB so much more fun.
