TrenchFoot

[Father Lamb]

So I haven't played yet today since that update, But I've read some things that have me curious.

Is this feature a little exaggerated like they're saying all over posts?

Apparently, hiking boots and even military grade don't help what so ever.

Now, Last I recall even I used to hit the woods on an ATV DEAD WINTER with basic shoes soaked for hours going through creeks and more and im fine after half the day or longer. lol Yeah this isn't real life, It's scum but sounds like it might actually be overly thought out and pushed too much.

Any body?

As with every feature that is added to the game it needs fine-tuning that will be done depending on the feedback provided.

it took LESS than a second for my feet to become wet wearing 100% durability combat boots, i appreciate all the work the team does but theres your unbiased feedback right there

They do get wet, yes, but it takes time for the trench foot to appear in your health overview.

I think combat boots should have higher resistance to wetness than other shoes, and the military boots the highest above all. Increase the price, make them scarce, doesn't matter, as long as it gives decent protection against the wet. We live in the snow. Going to have a hard time up there with wet feet all the time. We don't want to abandon base because of this.

i logged in inside a house...well, workshop, just north of the big lake "my feet are wet" .... inside a house .

In RL i have a pair of high end hiking boots that look a lot like the ones in the game. I have been on day hikes where my steps were at least a foot deep in snow for several hours and never felt a hint of moisture. I've worn them in down pouring rain while walking through mud and puddles of water and not gotten wet feet. Modern outdoor foot ware is almost always at least water resistant if not flatly water proof in most cases.

Hiking boots (and other ones with no inventory spaces) could work better in wet ground than combat boots. This will make player to choose inventory vs dry feet!

Mmmmm, interesting. I only wear boots with inventory space. What to choose!! lol

Does every boot and shoe have same effect? I got feeling that everything going to have same effect due to I can use so many tool for one job or some sort of feeling of unfinish to this game
so
why not this one should also apply

And maybe some shoes make less noise (combat boots make a lot of it).

feet get wet very quickly on any surface in any shoe (except rubber shoe), which is very unrealistic. secondly, trench foot appears pretty much fast. in real life it takes many days. in the game it takes less than 24 hours in-game time to get critical condition trench foot.
at this point trench foot feature is only annoy me. as i have to use only rubber shoe. i dont want to care about about my socks and combat boots and switch those every 5 minutes. it takes less then 5 minutes to get 100% wet on a snow which is nonsense.
ever see snow?

From what I read about reports and the release announcement, I noted a way to dry your feet is missing.
It could be rags or any woolen clothes force amples.
Drying socks and more over boots is a different matter. My own tactical boots required once 7 days to dry in a "normal" environment.
My trekking shoes can take a few days to dry as well after heavy rain or walking in soaked earth paths with dogs.

I agree that Foot trench is not happening after a single day... and takes longer, but maybe it is connected with hair growth. 🤣

I can't wait for ear infection and nail clipping feature.

High demand stuff...

Why all Early Access game developers are obsessed with wasting their time on minor stuff that adds nothing to the game, while ignoring issues with core gameplay ?

+1 Maybe having some dry rags or socks could reduce the chance of having it.

It should be an invisible parameter measuring feet wetness during a whole week before becoming "known" and visible.
You can use talcum powder to dry your feet as well.

Hope being shoe less under the sun will dry both feet, socks and shoes.

It seems rubber boots are not helping to counter effect Foot Trench effects, which bothers me a bit. Of course socks can become wet because of sweating in such boots.

I am very happy to see socks will play a more important role now.
And we need more types (construction socks - last longer -, trekking socks - reduce sweating -, winter socks - reduces cold feet but increase sweating in normal and sunny conditions, etc.)

i found a very informative video about the feature

if the video is true and i believe it is, i think some people here either didn't even test the feature, or are a bit overexaggerating
