ADD Smoking, Making Moonshine, edible herbs, berries, and fishing!

[QUOTE=Omega Man;43559944]Fishing is planned according to Gary. Can't wait! It will give more incentive to build near the water.[/QUOTE]

There are some spots with water access now. I can see those "few" areas becoming major points of contention. Massive battles for waterfront property...

Skiffs, and rafts for full on naval battles...

[QUOTE=GrumpyOldMan;43558770]So an extra spawned resource, not a cultivated crop? Why would anyone hunt, if they could just gather? Honestly, this just seems like an approach to dumb-down/de-skill the game.

I'm all for variety of play styles. My play-style absolutely isn't hard-core mass-murderer, but a lot of the excitement/challenge/reward from the game (for me) is knowing anybody could be (often is) a psychopath. My feeling is that you simply can't mix "soft-core" and "hard-core" approaches in the same game. People are just not going to be left in peace to grow tobacco. If you play a PvP game with no karma/reputation system, you got to expect it to be tough.

Getting a little of topic, what I like about these smaller indy game is that they often have a very tight vision about were they are going, and never attempt to appeal to a wider audience. Personally, I like the way Rust is now (to re-iterate: my play style co-operative and not aggressive). I would like to see the current vision completed, rather than compromised for a wider audience.[/QUOTE]

I'd still hunt and gather. Hunting is good practice with a bow. Plus, it is kind of fun to do it anyways.

I probably wouldn't play as much. I use TS a lot and it's actually very rarely directly related to this game. Most of my friends have full time jobs and go to college so it is not always so easy to get together and do something. With what you're proposing, I may as well toss Rust in the bin. I understand that people being able to organize might be a pain, but it's up to them how they want to play the game.

I actually really like your ideas, would add a much more social vibe to group play and add more end game stuff to do.
