Camping Out

[Stalkio 4]

I'm loving this mod and the whole concept around creating a more realistic survival experience. The update which removed stone pickaxes (genius move) in my opinion created a much more believable environment in which the game starts. Ancient man roaming around the world picking up bits he finds on the way, much more nomadic and authentic.

This small change has had huge implications around the players mentality (roaming vs. settling) I feel that it’s now more about moving around the world never staying too long in one placed as you need to track down those precious ore deposits to create that next alloy.

Sorry about setting the scene but I think it will help put my suggestion in context. I have always had an issue with the fact that you can drop a bed and sleep anywhere safely, this is ridiculous. Tiptoe, tiptoe, a Creeper comes along “ahh he’s sleeping I’ll just leave him be he looks so peaceful†yeah right.

Suggestion 1: You can’t place a bed without having a solid structure over head and a door (little like the testificates rules I believe)

Suggestions 2: The ability to make a tent! Craft a needle with bone (maybe pigs/sheep.. could drop bones? Plenty of evidence that early man did this) then craft a couple of leather pieces together and you get a popup 4x4x3 temporary structure. You could even limit its uses to say 10 times so you need to keep crafting new ones?

Just my thoughts and if any of this has been suggested before I apologies I checked the sticky thread and also searched before posting.

i like it!

but how exactly are u suppost to place the tent....it would take up multiple blocks...

Rather than an awkward looking tent I think a cheep bed bad of grass and moss or something like that would be fine and we just place it under a tree and call it good.

Yeah might not look great but it sort of defeats the purpose if you're still out in the open, how about this then

A Lean-to used since year dot for sleeping out. Anything but the bed under the stars!

*sitting by a fire in a mountain valley, snow coming down, wishing you had brought that extra set of socks ...

This would be nice- I got pretty adept at building and breaking down my little mobile house this past game, but some sort of way to live outdoors would be nice. The only thing I'm worried is that this would give bioxx an excuse to make it so wooden building materials require a metal axe or something.

In the future, beds won't be working like they are now, have faith on that. They will be a LOT different

Oh for fucks sake no

Or at least I hope not.

Unless you count the void, I seem to dream about that plenty lol

if he makes the change we won't really have a problem. i have enough metal to make a full set of tools from overground small metal deposits in rocks in only a few hours of play time.

No man, hahaha. I meant that crafting a bed will require a lot of more work, and using it will be restricted to indoors and such. Hahahaha
