Toggles and Climbing

    now that the game is out, there are still a TON of features that feel like are missing.
    here's a 'short' list from my own perspective.

    i tried adding spoiler tags but they're broken. bear with it for a moment, or
    scroll down for a TL;DR [Too Long, Didn't Read] list.

    can we get 'cold' and 'hot' / character temperatures re-introduced, similar to what we had when the game was still in alpha?

    and any chance we can.. maybe... get a toggle for crouch and walk?
    would also be neat to have a new type of movement - also on toggle: sneak. (
    crouch-walk, basically)
    while sneaking, you can't use weapons... but you can walk right past mobs, as long as they didn't see you beforehand.

    on that note, why do we have climbing animations if we don't climb?
    xD
    this could be introduced by activating ladders (which would be newly added to the game), then the player can press up or down to go in that direction, and hold left or right to unholster the selected one-handed weapon for that side (thus, locking climbing or descending on the ladder) to allow for shooting/slashing whilst on the ladder.
    getting hit twice whilst on the ladder would force the player off of it.
    pressing jump whilst left or right is being held would make the player jump to that side.


    i've also noticed that if there's a bunch of platforms and i press down+jump once, but keep the down button pressed... i keep falling through platforms!
    so instead, can we maybe just fall to, and stay crouched on the lower platform?

    on that, could we perhaps have a way to have our pets be brought back to life if they die? perhaps an auto-healing system when they're 'dead'?
    or we could put them in a new station that would slowly bring them back to life.

    and finally, could we maybe get a keybind to 'take all' to chests? just the good-old E should be plenty.
    E to activate, E to take all or ESC to close.


    so, TL;DR - stuff that would be neat to have changed:
    • Character temperature reintroduction
    • Crouch toggle added
    • Walk toggle added
    • Sneak action added [C key?]
    • Sneak toggle added
    • Ladders added
    • Climbing and descending ladders introduced
    • Jumping down changed behaviour
    • Pet healing after 'dead'
    • "Take All" button keybind behaviour added
    • Redesign the hotbar (i didn't get into explaining this, since the link already explains it enough, and yes it still kinda sucks. even if i am used to it already.)
    footnote: wish i could edit the title too... this thread kinda grew much more than just toggling and climbing lol

    In a single post you have succinctly combined about a third of the requests on this board. Good job. :p

    I'm sold. I've wanted this feature since I first started playing this game.

    Sorry if you thought I meant that in the negative. I'm happy. Hopefully this post will stay on the front page and devs will see it.

    hopefully! xD but should i just go ahead and.. iuno. post whatever fix-specific suggestions people might have?

    if so, anyone got any more ideas to add to this?
    xD

    Full of good things, i don't need them but it's all about gameplay and could help pepoles.
    I'm not found of "Sneak action", "Take All button keybind" and "Jumping down changed behaviour" (i am used to it) but why not.
    I'm just against the ladder / climbing animation. In beta we could climb ropes with one of the jumping animation and it works enouth without the need of many sprites.
    But i really liked the temperature system, it could may be back for survival mode at least?
