navigation / body temp / flashlight / crosshair / firewood

Navigation: Compass (self explanatory)

Constellations: Don't need the whole nights sky mapped out, but Big Dipper and Orion would be extremely helpful. Jupiter Venus Saturn and Mars would enhance that. 

Body Temp: Player required to shed some layers when it feels like 104 degrees inside the cabin with a fire. 

Sweat Mechanic: Elevated body temp (being inside when its hot, or sprinting too frequently) causes clothing to get wet. Could add hypothermia risk too. 

Flashlight: Batteries retain charge for 48 hours after and aurora. Currently I don't bother carrying it around. Ever. 

Crosshair: Always on option, helps when trying to point autorun and hitting my vape at the same time.

Firewood Axe: Bigger limbs, better payout

Branches: it should not take 15 minutes to break down to sticks

The Long Dark takes place in a world where a geomagnetic disaster as occurred. Making compasses unusable. This has also fried all electronics which only activate again during an aurora.

ok good call on the compass part.

I counter argue that the flashlight still has a battery unlike everything else that comes to life. Also, functionality which is where my battery idea came from. Who runs around going, man, I hope there is an aurora tonight so I can use my flashlight?! 

Cheers!

I'd also recommend the search function, as each of these have been frequent wish list items and there has been a lot of good discussion about each of them in previous threads.
