Hi,

Thanks to devs, i follow this game for one year and happy to see it's not dead.
The number of contries is interesting, the game look like completely finished so the price is correct.
I like the random stuffs and random respawns.
I like to see other players streaming in stalker mode because it's hard and stress enough even if we know the map.
I don't know if i'll like the story in preparation but why not... a adventure goal can be interesting too.
I like that maps are connected so we can across all of them.
I like the stalker challenge.

I would like to see electricity/battery, books to read (to spend time without sleeping), TV, radio, ...
Sleeping too much must be impossible when we are not tired.
So we need some more stuff to spend some time like cooking, recycle of clothes, fishing and hunt that are good hobbies but there is not enough.
Books, TV and radio can give us a new survival progress bar : humor or something. If we don't make our brain work, we can be nuts/crazy like the man alone in the island with his friend ball. Maybe like a stress bar. Wolves, bears ans condition can stress us. But reading, watching tv, listen to music can unstress and spend the time.

I hope my idea will interest you devs, good continuation.

I was thinking something similar regarding humour/stress bar to offset insanity/isolation issues. More advanced needs could be opened up when surviving is easier yet not completeley secure.

I wouldn't look for anything electrical to be added to the game. The Premise is that a "Geomagnetic Event" has pretty much made electricity and electronics useless.

That's how you end up in the middle of nowhere, you were flying a plane when it happened. It is supposed to be the reason the animals have become more aggressive, too.

Books, maybe, since they are already in the game.

I can tell you from my own experience, though, in a cold environment like the one in this game, you really would spend a lot of time sacked out. In cold environments, energy is everything. Sleeping is the best way to save it.

Have you read there road map?

They got some big plans for this game :).
But I dont think you will se any music, tv or radio in the game. But at the same time, the batterys are still there in the game, and the radio can be interacted with. But there is no music, so maybe you can get it to work somehow with some new tools in a future update.

Also, even if a geomagnetic event would happen, you could still gather electriciy, build a battery.
its not like its just gone in the aftermath, its more like stuff that already use electricy will get busted.

Horses and Canoe could be what you are looking for when its comes to transporting alot of gear.
Personly Im lookng forward to npc's and seasons.

And its not the winter you are most likly to die if you can survive the cold.
