The past couple of updates from Tiy have shown off some beds. I'm curious exactly what the function of beds will be within the game. Reset spawn point? Instantly turn night into day ala Minecraft? Provide a rested buff or some other benefits? Cosmetic? I personally believe the beds will be used to reset spawn points, similar to Terraria. I'm not sure about anything beyond that though. Turning night into day like minecraft, while I think could be cool, would be weird to handle on a multiplayer server and just in the game's many environments in general. Different planets I believe will have different Day/Night cycles (and I believe some planets will have a static day/night that never changes, though don't quote me on this). Assuming this to be true, I don't see a bed doing anything to alter a planet's day/night cycle though I could be mistaken. However, if they did do something like this, I would have to assume it would have to be handled similar to Minecraft in which everyone on a server (or at least on the same planet perhaps?) would all have to go to bed simultaneously for it to take effect. Still kind of fun to think about.
I'm pretty sure that the beds won't reset our spawn, because from what I've read the ship will be the permanent spawn.
everytime you sleep, the game rolls a random number. if you roll a 27, your char wakes in this new new world called "dreamland", with unknow NPCs, weird creatures and messed up physics, like changing gravity. it's necessary to advance in the main storyline at some moment... true story, believe me
I believe Tiy has said that he wants every player action to have a use, but I have been searching for half an hour and I can't find the post
Well, if every action will have some use... I guess sleeping could regenerate HP, and also accelerate all buffs so if you're poisoned for a minute the effect dissipated in like 15 seconds. You know, four times faster expiration rate of all timed buffs, both negative and positive.
maybe there will be some kind of "awaken" stat. means: if you run around and fight or mine too much without going to bed for a certain time, you get debuffs or something! run slower, becoming hungry very fast, aiming becomes difficult and the character starts complaining about being tired i could also imagine that sleeping in beds will just regenerate health and give you some positive buffs like running faster, aiming better or it takes longer until you become cold or get hungry
Yeah I like the idea of tiredness and the debuffs of it. Line of sight could be reduced too and possibly even the chance of passing out and (probably) dying from a hungry alien? Could also be very tedious, but there's nothing stopping you from boxing yourself in a tiny hole and just sleeping on the floor for a few hours lol.
