New Player feedback

[jasonjoh]

Just started playing and so far have survived a few days. My first impression of the game is very positive. Here are some points of feedback:

-- Add num lock for autorun

-- mouse wheel for scrolling through items in your hand

-- more ambient creatures (owls, foxes, squirels, etc.)

-- Is there a way to unequip the items in your hand? I couldn't figure that out and then you end up walking around with a flare or a lantern in your hand and you can't get rid of it.

-- Racks for curing items would be nice - can you make jerky? You could cure meat on the rack for long-lasting meat.

-- Discover new items to make.

-- A way to craft a map

Welcome to the forum!

You can set the run key to toggle in the settings menu, if that's what you mean by autorun.

Press 'H' (for holster) to unequip an item. Note that doing so with a burning torch in your hand will drop the torch.

I'm on xbox and they used to have a toggle run button on the options menu but since sprinting was introduced this option has been removed. And my RB is now broken from too much use.

So I'm just curious to know if you still have that option on pc?

I think "autorun" should be "auto-motion," e.g., lock in the player into walking (or running if Sprint is used) to avoid having to keep the W (or A, S, D) key pressed when taking those very long walks down the Coastal Highway or following the extensive trails in Timberwolf Mountain. Most mouses have enough extra buttons these days that a toggle could be included without much effort.

does running eat calories faster? I tried it and it doesn't seem to.
