Sleep is a MUST have

[Hooch]

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.

emote? why..?

Give Sleeping bag <3 pretty plz even if its just a cosmetic XD i need it for my home XD

will if u want to afk then yes sleep is good. but its a bit complicated when in mutiplayer. if u want sleep to make time fast, what about other teamates dont want to sleep. time will be faster for them too? i dont think its applicable to multiplayer but on solo its a big YES!

It's just the easiest way to activate it, not sure why that is a problem.

sleeping is good for solo play. but for multiplayer or maybe soon open world if the devs will consider i guess sleeping is not applicable unless you want to exit the game where u need to sleep, also to be realistic.

Are there any plans to introduce sleep deprivation as a game mechanic, perhaps with penalties such as reduced movement speed? Additionally, it would be great to have the ability to build our own tidy beds

We're looking at a lot of different ways the environment can impact the player, including sleep. However, weather is more a priority at the moment.

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.

what's wrong with you, have you never played survival games?

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

sleep on rooves , screw the wilderness .
