Features and suggestions

[WenklyStudio_Haski]

Hello survivors!

If you have any ideas for new content for the game or feel that any elements need improvement,
feel free to discuss them in this thread. We'll be looking here regularly! Who knows? Maybe your idea will make it into the game.

Thanks for the suggestions, and see you at the survival camp!

1. toggle grip option
i don't know others have same problems i have
when i grab for controlling gun recoil and reloading or picking item or fishing, the controller's grip recognition doesn't work correctly
i don't know if it's only my problem cuz i don't have same problem in other VR games
anyway i think it's better adding toggle grip option than fixing controller problem that they didn't even know that it existed

2. stand-crouch button
some players just don't wanna change their Actual Reality stance
seated players can't crouch cuz they can't dig underground in their home
they just wanna scavenge things that located lower than their feet

3. adjust gun recoil and accuracy
i served in military and i know how gun recoil feels like
this game have unreally low accuracy and heavy recoil

4. stat related customizing
changing outfits must be reasonable, no one buys clothes if they don't have any benefits for player
shoes have speed or stamima bonus
bags have more inventory bonus
caps, shirts, pants have defence bonus etc...

5. dropping ammo from zombie
some of them armed when they were still human i think

6. increase drop rate of some items and reduce reappearing delay(?) on the fields
i couldn't even see any blue herb on the fields nor shop since i got the quest 2 days ago and blueprints for upgrading weapons are too rarely dropped so i only have 1 pistol blueprint

I would like the ability to create private servers or change the number of players. If I want to play a game with 1 or 2 friends we don't want a stranger popping in to possible troll us.

Good news! This is actually in the works and a feature of private lobbies is coming to the game! :)

windows mixed reality controllers in openxr games suffer from thumbstick drift when not using steamvr. Is it possible to add an option to increase the thumbstick deadzone? I know it's a request that will please few people, but maybe it's quick and simple to implement. Thanks for the attention

I have a G2 and I'm noticing stick drift. I'm also noticing that I can't pull up the Steam VR menu even when I launch it from steam? If I want to supersample I have to go into the freaking driver settings for my GPU. Also the angle on the pistol is WAY off, holding it like a real pistol or any other game I'm pointing at the sky...

Brosef... If you want anyone to read a post, you should probably take punctuation and formatting into consideration? I suffered two aneurysms trying to parse that insane rambling into some sort of coherent thought.

i'm not sure if someone suggested this already but little things like zombies wandering around or having a small chance to spawn in positions they usually dont until theyre killed might add something. also having a chance to fish up a crawler would be funny and add a little scare to fishing.

The realistic reloading could be a bit more forgiving. For eg, quite often I find myself trying 2 or 3 times to put a shotgun shell into the shotgun before it accepts it and on some guns trying to chamber a round can be a bit difficult as the circle that shows you can grab it doesn't show up unless I'm holding the gun higher in the air away from the holster belt, or my controllers need to be so close together that I bump them into each other while pulling the slide.

I also find the holster belt can sometimes rotate around your body when physically turning on the spot putting your clips/shells/holsters in strange positions.

For me its almost impossible to reload while moving. The grab circle only seems to flash up then disappear when reaching for shotgun shells or a clip if I am running away while reloading.

I'd love to have weapon mods available when upgrading weapons like red dot sights, scopes, laser sights etc.

It's a great game, it needs more publicity to make people aware of if.

Yes. I generally play this way. It is an option in the main menu for Survival Nation.

DoT spells are typically found in spell casting games. A DoT (Damage over Time) spell is one that does its damage "over time" usually over the course of 5 or 6 seconds, to mimic the effect of blood loss or poison, for example. After the 2nd patch, I noticed my arrows were causing this type of damage (see video below) but this disappeared after the following patch.

I would actually like to see this return to the game.
Perhaps you could have it listed as an option in the skill tree?
Maybe the more points put into it, the longer the DoT lasts?
Poison-tipped arrows could be an option that unlocks DoT.
Flame arrows would be another great option.
These could be used instead of Molatov cocktails on the "nests".
Explosive-tipped arrows would be a nice unlock as well.

It would be nice if the damage and other information that appears over an NPC would stay visible a full second instead of a split-second. It is often very difficult to read. I cropped this short video to focus in on this information.

See if you can read it right away without reviewing the video multiple times. It is difficult to read all the info when the NPC dies since three different categories are displayed-- damage, monetary reward, and experience points.

Lastly, why is the final damage indicator white when the previous damage indicators are red?

can base building be a thing with personal storage containers?. and jumping...why can't we jump?

[Jagermeister]

I think the graphics need an overhaul. PCVR Games typically look vastly better than standalone quest games, unfortunately this one doesn't.

Is there an option or mod that allows has the players body be fully visible? I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't really like the floating hands/arms

You can find it in the settings to choose a full body IK.
