Another frozen island, another gameplay

I suggest to move this mod into a winterized map maybe with snow and more enterable buildings.

I think that as the temperature drops down quickly, it will be harder to survive (now go afk in some bush is not challenging), so people will have to find an house and stay there.

Then you can introduce a mechanism to make signs on the external walls or put road signs outside the house to claim it as your own, to welcome other survivors or to tell em to stay away.

Then you can wire your courtiyard and occasionally (not like the zombie cod sh*t) face hordes of roamers, that could make you leave...

You will have to go outside to harvest wood for fire (since into buildings your temp drops slower), and to hunt animals, risking to find a bandit waiting for you to leave the house (but he can't camp as much as now, because he would die to cold).

Of course players spawn in houses will have to be properly fixed in some way.

Finally, heatpacks will have a reason to be in this game :) .

I agree that zeds havn't blood and can't survive in a very cold enviroment, but they shouldn't run at all if you think.

One of my suggestions was to add snow as weather on the current map, however snow only occurs inland and on certain altitude.

There's already a reason for them bro, your temp drops when you're running around out in the rain and at night time. as your temp drops you can get infection which causes a number of various detrimental effects, like a lower maximum blood count, shaking, etc. To fix this you have to warm yourself up using a fire, which can get you much unwanted attention, or use heat packs, and if infected antibiotics.

It's not so crucial then. People go to night time servers only for the low popolation and to loot.

Others are scared of Thermal-Night vision and don't consider them at all.

Rain lasts only few minutes. Too short.

I'd say people choosing not to play during the night isn't exactly an issue with the game itself. I see what you're saying, but they already do have a function. Rain duration varies, I've seen it rain all damn night and my friend froze to death, it was pretty funny.

I like it somehow... it will be like in the movie The Thing.. the cold will be also your enemy then.. very cool.. alcohol will also have a reason then, if it is finally implemented.. but it should be possible to survive with very warm clothes outside then..

All in all its a good idea for a standalone version...

Winter would be awesome, because the snow would make night more friendly sight wise but also dangerous because of the cold.
