Sleep is a MUST have
Sleeping to restore energy but also to speed up time (night time) is absolutely necessary in a game like this. Will it be implemented?

Without this feature, this game is dead in the water for me, as it completely breaks immersion and removes an important part of games of this nature.

We're looking at adding it back in for SP. Or at least some mechanic for the player to pass the time that is not monotonous busy work.

not really, it could be a way to pass time if you have pretty even day/night cycles, help with immersion for those that's important to, could be used as a save function, etc.

I am also missing the sleeping option during night - I mean, we have hunger, thirst, health and stamina, so sleep seems to fit in these. It is a natural save moment and could ease or tweak the permadeath option a bith further.

But as a zombie survival game - you are never safe, are you?

So, sleeping conditions should not be camping in the wildernis and sleeping by the fire. I agree, and some kind of shelter should be needed.

The zeekes seem predominantly comming to sounds, so sleeping would not be interfering with that mechanic.

I am thinking about things like a tree house - easy to construct with some wood, sticks and rope? I have not seen a zombie climb yet...

There are houses that can be locked and barricaded, that could also provide sleeping conditions. Together with a bed and some soup, it might even restore some health.

Sleep on the floor, sleep in a improvised bed, sleep in a real bed.
And if you could cuddle during co-op... now that could become a unique selling point :steamhappy:

Said no one ever except those who are clueless!
Its a good feature to have in the game even if just for SP! No one forces you to use it if you don't want to BUT most will use it to simply pass time quicker!
Also, I hope the Devs add the mechanic of tiredness (not just stamina that re-gens bloody quickly) so your char has to at least rest/sleep!
Very simple, make the sleep option, which can be activated or deactivated, the player's choice from the game menu. End of story and please everyone.

I'm not sure, as a player whose traveled multiple survival games, sleep is almost a must for immersion. Picking up this game today, the first thing I did off of instinct was check the bed and camp sites to see if there was a sleep feature.

The guy isn't wrong. Add the ability to sleep in SP. If you don't wanna sleep, don't sleep. Those of us that do, will.

Sleep was part of early HumanitZ bug it had bad game breaking bugs.
I think i saw sleep was added back in the latest update? I should double check that.
