Please remove the drain in shelter or let the stuff on you drop while inside.

Discussion

In a game filled with tiny decisions clearly meant to push a certain game loop, this seems like a move that pushes it more in line with that.

Even if you die your stuff should just be in a pile there. If it makes enough sense to respawn there, like a new survivor shows up, it makes more sense that your body and previous gear would be there on you.

I appreciate the realism, but to lose your current life because you forgot you were in decorator mode is silly. There are just too many screens or modes in this game, like inventory screen, where the game looks paused but isn’t. And in a game like this it should just be clear as day if it’s paused or not.

Plus there’s something about having to click and eat canned tomatoes x 4 while in your hideout just to redecorate that is a little immersion breaking. Shelter should feel safe, the rest of the world is punishing.
