Solution To The Base Water Drama

[Metro Gnome Holding Metronome]

I understand what the devs are going for. They've stated that the mechanic is there to induce anxiety and excitement, to me their goal is to make the world feel persistent, living, and breathing. And for your survivor to be a genuine survivor of this harsh world who is living in their little slice of heaven, hiding away from the war even as you the player are out in the real world doing other things. It's a cool idea for a mechanic for people who have lots of free time, or for their little free time to be fully devoted to this one game, but obviously a great many have issues with it.

So, my idea. The fix:

Just have two different gamemodes/saves. In the same way a GREAT many games have normal and hardcore modes, just have one mode have a persistent base, that being the base with water constantly ticking, and one without that mechanic. The great benefit of this being a PVE only game is that there is absolutely NO pvp to balance for. This fix would also allow them to make water much more scarce as it was previously.

Perfect solution, everyone gets what they want. No need for anybody to win at the others expense.
