Single Player Free Energy!
okay so we all know that in single player early game you use ALOT of energy tilling the fields chopping trees and watering plants, and by noon you are out of energy, instead of eating or foraging or (god forbid) sleeping to end the day you can go to your bed. Just sit there with the Sleep Yes or No message up, you get 2-3 energy per second doing this, when energy is full simply click NO and go back to your farming. this popup pauses the game time and replenishes your energy.

That is cheating. Select no and wait. You'll recover energy in real time- as intended.

Abusing bugs isn't nice. Food and spa exist exactly so you can recover energy legitimately...

Who Cares ? Everyone should play the game how he/she/it want. For me its abuse so i dont do that. If u wanna use it as "feature" then do it ;-)

It's a bug. Personally, I might report it so it gets fixed since it's not intended by the dev. Hate me.

Idk why people care if other people cheat in a single player game where you can already use mods to spawn items or teleport around the map. There's no hi-scores...

In case you might refer to me (as well as the other), I don't care if others cheat but I see it as one unintended bug so it only feels natural to me to report it. Not sure yet if I will but you get it, right?

This has been reported several times on the official forums so if it is indeed not their intention i'm sure they will fix it :)

There are already other "bugs" that they won't fix because they're easily avoidable and people enjoy them, like naming your character after an item's ID code to get free stuff, or opening the journal while fishing to pause time.

You're welcome to report whatever bugs you want, but you're probably wasting your time doing it, unless it's unavoidable or disruptive to the gameplay. The devs have a lax attitude toward "exploits."

I don't really mind. As long as nobody screws with them in MP to ruin my own game, of course.

As an exploit 'user not abuser', "Just don't use it" isn't a good enough response to people who do these. Just like how some third person shooting games allow crosshair detection but not path detection, allowing you to put your avatar in a safe spot and never need to come out to kill enemies.

It's called dominant strategy. If I find a method through playing the game to make my gameplay go smoother, of course I am going to use it. Not doing so will be a setback.

However, I abhor when people look up exploits or cheat intentionally. I found this bug while going to the bed and then minimizing the game to watch youtube for a minute and found my stamina refilling.

The best solution to the issue is for the problem to be fixed, but in my opinion there's nothing wrong with using something that was put in the base game as long as you didn't look it up the instant you downloaded the game.

In one instance you are a player using the dominant strategy you found through playing the game.
In the other you are a cheater.

It's a fine line :3
