Remove or heavily reduce the bed respawn timer
The respawn timers on beds is just punishing and unfun. I get the reason behind it, but it is FAR to punishing.

5 minutes is about right. As you can always just build more beds. Or use sleeping bags when you know your going to do something risky as a one off respawn point.

You can also get bed blueprints that reduce the spawn timer as well.

Okay boys, hit him with the micro transaction to re-spawn faster!

But as other have stated a work around is multiple beds. Having multiple cases where your dying that much isn't proper. It might be worth it to explain why your dying this much.

I died instantly when I logged back in after the patch, had to wait for that, walked back to my body and there were two scorpions, both tranqed me and I passed out after I killed them, then a raptor ate me while I was passed out, then I run back and get ambused by three raptors that kill me right as I get to my body again. I hate this repsawn timer.

While that is indeed harsh a quicker respawn to bed vs random would have a negative impact on the PvP in this game. While raiding active bases seems to be alien to many of the forum goers if they actually DID raid a base with active players can you imagine how impossible it would be if they could all just keep respawning at one bed?

So it is there for a really good reason. That said for PvE it would be nice if there was a toggle to turn the timer limit off.
