Navigation: Shadows

[Nella]

Long time player (Sandbox, mostly), but new within the Community. My Wish List is 2 parts...

1) Within the actual Wish List forum, I wish there was a Search option, because I don't know if my Topic/Wish has already been discussed, and I did not want to page through 142 pages of Wish Lists in order to find it. 

2) My actual wish.... Shadows. I think this would be an interesting enhancement to navigation, while maintaining the survival aspect of the game. We already have footprints, that stay or fade with the wind/snow. Why not shadows? Just like in real life, shadows can be used to help navigate to ensure we are not walking in a circle, or heading towards a certain direction. Shadows would only be available sometimes, as weather allows, and only when it is sunny. I'm sure there are more rules that can be appended to this, but I've always found myself wanting shadows during game play.

So turn them on in the settings? Are you talking about shadows of trees and whatnot? Because those are already in the game.

Apologies. I should have definitely been more clear. I'm referring to the characters shadow. As in, if I look down, I want to see my shadow as a navigation tool, when the sun is out. Does that make sense?
