The Long Dark suggestions and improvements

  • need some basic toilet mechanics
  • need malnutrition from eating the same food
  • need atrophying from sleeping for a week
  • should be able to fire-harden sticks as cheap, rubbish headless arrows
  • make spears
  • spear-throwers
  • eating tinned food should yield an empty tin, which can be harvested for scrap metal
  • should be allowed to sleep without a bedroll, at a penalty (back ache?)
  • resource respawns should be less predictable, move around more
  • more stew-based food & more semi-edible ingredients, eg tin of chopped tomatoes, sesame seeds
  • dried food requiring water to cook, eg oats, rice, pasta, flour
  • should be able to break planks off of outbuildings for firewood, if not actual shelters. It's your responsibility not to eat your own home
  • need foxes (arctic foxes?)
  • as carpentry knowledge increases, be able to build a wooden cart to carry more stuff in
  • on daily stats screen (in journal) display how many km travelled that day
  • able to use improvised weapons, ie stick = club; hatchet; knife; prybar
  • should be able to sleep in a car
  • running should keep you warmer
