So 2 deaths and a game over this needs to be changed.
First off just want to let y'all know saving wont stop you from getting a game over if you die twice that's it you have to restart in the current build no matter if you save or not. This is a problem lets say you died once early on which is very common then you spend hours and hours making a base and lets say you survive 10 days and have a crazy epic base. Then something happens like falling off a cliff or jumping a very small distance and dying everyone has killed themselves at least once or you get ambushed and die bam game over 10 hours of hard work gone and you gotta start all over.

This will drive people away no one wants to spend tons of hours on a game only to restart completely i think the game over option needs to be removed completely or give you more lives or my favorite idea when you die you lose everything all your supplies but your base is still there you just have to regather everything but no game over.

I like it that this game is not as easy as other games. The game over function is great

Saving doesn't work, but is supposed to be hotfixed today or tomorrow. Once that's working, it allows you to get around that by saving regularly.

No i like the Game over function without it it would be boring and another game like minecraft where you dont even have to care about surviving.

No zargsch thats not how it works once saving is fixed sure you can save it and go to bed or something but once you die twice its game over you don't load the game from your last save point a game over is game over you start from the beginning again
Funny thing is.... that is something that is making me seriously consider putting my cash down. The only reason I want a save game function is because I have a wife and child.... losing all my progress because I have real world things to do sucks. Losing progress because I mess up.... that is gaming.

Anyway.. from what I can ascertain... you don't die twice. You get captured and, the next time they get you, they kill you. (Correct me if I am wrong, game owners.)

If it were up to me I'd have one death and its game over. Its a survival game guys the idea is to survive not play hero with a bunch of lives.

However after your first death it is cool starting inside their cave having to escape. Lets hope in later releases they make it harder to get our because right now it is full of loot and at least I want to die that first time to gear up as it is pretty easy to get out.

So you guys can honestly sit here and say you would not be bothered if you had to start over after putting tons of hours and time into a base? That's straight bs maybe if you had 3,4, even 5 chances but 2 deaths and thats it? That ain't gunna work people will be complaining constantly about this.

Well yeah, but you still get one free death. You'll just have to avoid that happening before saving for the first time and you're good. As soon as you use up your free death -> exit and reload.

I don't think you are understanding zargsch lol if you save the game and die twice you don't reload to your last save point the game ends it over GAME OVER restart the game please that's how it works.

There was a post on the forums about a file you could edit that would allow infinite respawns, but I can't seem to find the post.

I did find this video, though, which may be the same thing. I haven't tried it but you could use it as a temporary fix until they figure out the save system. :)

I already have that mod lol i don't want to have to use it tho i am having a hard time explaining to people that once you die twice you have to start over people think that if they fix the saving system they will never have to start over

I think that when the "saving option" is fixed, and you die (second time) you won't be able to load you last save anymore. Which I like. (read this on the redit forum somewhere)

But maybe in time they might add a casual gamemode where you could load last save. along with the peaceful mode which will come in the future.

permadeath FTW.

save, no save. u still get 1 more death then you deserve.

keep it the way it is.

ps: no peaceful mode. that is pointless. you want peaceful mode? turn off the pc and go play outside.
much more important they do a MP mode first before anything else. but no, no peaceful mode. that's a waste of time and coding.

Peace
