Hi,

There is apparently some controversy on some features like Cabin Fever. I think it would enrich a game a lot if we could choose a difficulty mode Custom and get a bunch of sliders and checkboxes to tune the gameplay rules. Here are some examples I came up with:

  • weather severity / temperature
  • speed of weather getting worse and worse (can be set to 0 to maintain current level of weather for whole run)
  • cabin fever checkbox
  • wildlife amount (preferably separate slider for predators and non-predators?)
  • wildlife aggressiveness
  • decay starting state and speed
  • amount of loot
  • checkboxes to enable disable weapons, tools and certain types of clothes
  • starting loot choices vs random
  • ability to limit starting regions

You may think why would the last point make any sense? Well as an addition to this custom difficulty, you could name it and share with other players. Each such custom named difficulty could be ranked by other people and have it's own scoreboard etc. This would also enable people to create custom challanges, for example hunting challenges (think of: you start with survival bow in PV, there is a permament strorm, but with a mild temperature and  you need to hunt and track animals in those conditions) etc. etc.
