Memories of the old world.

Hey @Raphael van Lierop, got a couple of question here that I finally remembered myself about asking: "Do you guys plan on adding the old 'search bar' mechanic back?" Basically - before the UI update - the [container/drawer/etc] searching process was a bit different. Instead of you receiving all the items by the end of the searching process like you do now (choosing only after the search what to take and what to leave) you used to receive the items, if any, while the the searching process was going on. Because of this there was a sense of despair when the searching bar was reaching the end and you hadn't get that can of beans or box of matches you so desperately need. This amazing article by PCGamer talks about it: https://www.pcgamer.com/why-i-love-the-long-darks-painstaking-search-mechanic/. He sums it up pretty well with this quote: "as that once innocuous 'Searching' bar takes on a whole new level of urgency and importance: whereby the closer it gets to completion without spoils, the further your heart generally sinks." "Do you personally think one should start a new survival save after December's update?" Without necessarily getting into details on what's going on under the hood of the game, what if some values in the game are also changed with the new update - for example cooking timing, damage or even if a new disease or feature is added, wouldn't it require a new survival save for them to be properly applied? "Any chance we can have the Brands back in the future?" I think they were one of the coolest items added into the game and was really hoping you guys would have found a way to bring them back. Taking a torch out of the flames seems to me a bit too elaborate for me, as torches seem more like an item that has to be crafted instead of just pulled out of a fireplace. Besides, the brand actually had that primitive and desperate feeling to it. Thanks!

This was an odd idea I had, and not sure how it would work with TLD lore: can we expect functional microwave ovens during the aurora? It would be great being able to heat that freezing cup of coffee or tea during one of those cold aurora nights when you just don't feel like or can't make a fire, and could use that extra warmth bonus together with some caffeine or tea to keep moving or recover some condition.
