It never even occurred to me to try - I had assumed it was essentially a "Test mode" that isn't intended to contain a regular game. More of a quick "is this base structurally sound" or "how does the new mechanic X work exactly"? I often have CM enabled in regular games, but that's just to...

Do enemies and the 7th day hordes spawn correctly in creative mode? I've only ever used it for short periods to test new builds and mechanics outside of the regular game.

It does, as of A13 or so. Previously it was necessary to use debug mode to be able to pause, which was ridiculous. Hunger and thirst require activity to keep full. Sleep requires the opposite. Any mechanic that requires the player to avoid playing is a bad one. That's where the "too much...

Only if you feel the urge to abuse that freedom. I find that not performing game breaking strategies is a very effective method to ensure a game stays fun. And since what constitutes "game breaking" is going to vary from player to player, it's impossible for the game to cover every single...

To revisit post A17

I prefer maximum freedom, because it lets me choose how I want to play. It's a standard practice of mine to start a new game and decide "this character will only use X" or "this character will never do Y". This forces a change to my regular playstyle and allows me to view the game from a...

What would sleeping add to the game, really? And if there's no time compression - you're suggesting that part of the regular gameplay is to stop playing. If I need a break, I hit Esc and walk away, or let my character craft in the safety of his base.

Starting the player with less bag space won't add anything except tedium. It's easy enough to make drop containers for less important loot that you can then round up later as you're out scavenging anyway. Post release, it really should be a selectable option; resorting to .dll modification is...

Building off of my earlier "negative perk" idea, make a negative perk called "Clumsy". When bought, it gives 15 extra skillpoints, but you have an X% chance to drop an item from your inventory every time you get hit.

Well, sure. However, if you're unfortunate enough to attract a "troll" (speaking colloquially, I am aware of what the term used to mean until quite recently) or two, dealing with their vitriol can be pretty annoying and I can see how that would be draining over a long time period. Apparently...

Right now it is easy enough to hide down at bedrock level and the hordes won't reach you. But apparently playing that way annoys people. I was matching the spirit of Maharin's post and not advocating for any particular playstyle for endgame - I believe all should be viable.

Not to sound like a Vive commercial - but it is fully glasses compliant and wears very well. :tickled_pink:

I've seen this sentiment expressed before, but I don't think it is warranted. Most of the discussion here is actually quite productive; the moderation team does a good job of keeping things in line.

I will either do this, or go for the Vive 2. Did I mention it also doubles the resolution in each eye?

The above sounds like you're advocating keeping it rare. I've seen you post about this in the past, too. This seems like a bit of an overreaction. I hope whomever and whatever triggered it was informed via PM. I don't think that is it. madmole himself has said he doesn't let the negative...
