Hair growth Mechanic Return?

[Dillinius Sandar]

Question for the devs, do you plan on this mechanic ever returning? In my opinion it's a very immersive aspect of many survival games i.e finding knife/scissors and keeping yourself trimmed or alternatively letting a giant hobo beard develop. I like the addition of many hairstyles but I feel like if I had a choice, hair growth is more important than static hairstyles.

Sadly for now the growth system is not compatible with the hairstyle system, and really don't know anything more about it for now.

Sad as I'm pretty sure the game Ark also has customizable hairstyles but includes a hair growth mechanic aswell. It apparently can be done so i hope you guys reconsider.

A while back there was a discussion about hairgrowth with the devs and it was said the team will look into the possibilities.
Among them having one hairstyle with hair growth like the old hair and then you can change to the new static hairstyles at the barber accoding to your current lenght of the master hairstyle.
The choosen hairstyles will come undone after a while or when out growing the required length and revert to the master hairstyle. So all the new hairstyles would be static without hairgrowth but the feature is implemented in a compatibile way. It would also open the possibility to change one hairstyle after another when there is time and not need to add hairgrowth to all at once at a later stage. Since it can revert to the master hair when needed, also allowing to limit hairgrowth on other hairstyles accoding to their physical plausible lengths.
Additionally it was planned to be possible to make hairstyles without the barber but with a chance to mess it up at a mirrow with tools like scissors, rubber bands and pins.

It's probably sitting on the to do list waiting for development capacities. Nothing that is worked on or discussed right now in the team.

Not everything from the to do list will be done but i hope this one doesnt get axed and we get at least some kind of hair growth back. When devs look into it there might be possibilities to get it fully or even more dynamically done, who knows. Scum ofter surprises when given enough time.

Payed hair styles stay the same, picking the Bald style could be the grown over time one
