Snob Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Look at all these people who appreciate the current tents.And about the tents - Have the devs given any indication of their ultimate purpose? When I built it, I had assumed that it would be a permanent fixture allowing me to skip the nighttimes at will, instead of just standing next to the fire like a lemon flavour marshmallow all night. I almost kicked a puppy when the damn thing collapsed The tent no longer just changes characters, it fills your health and hunger to 100% (not sure about sanity though). If used more than intended it breaks the game and takes away value to food.I agree; I once built a tent, tried it out, and it disappeared. What I thought was the tent had fifteen, or twenty uses, not one, so I decided to use it, in the middle of the day; a serious waste.Honestly I'd rather just a multiple-use straw roll that needs to be repaired overtime or something other than a one-time use "Get out of jail free" card.i don't like the new tent system =(............Please change the tent into a fixed, but repairable sleeping bag.

Judas Physicist Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 It should't fill your hunger, only heal you a minor bit and needs to be repaired after 4-5 uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarcosuchus Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I agree that something with the tent needs to change, however, I will say that it was OP when you could use it to change characters, since you could just turn to Wickerbottom when you wanted to research, then Wilson to make a few effigies, then Wolfgang to go out spider killing. This way, it makes you think really hard about how you want to play through a level before you pick a character. However, when it comes to the tent itself, it's pretty darn pricey for just a reset of all your gauges. Though I'm not really sure how it could be fixed...

Palpetinus Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 There was no talk about switching back to the old use. The idea was to make it into a permanent strawroll we need to repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karma Hound Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Permanent straw roll sounds like a cool thing to have at a base, and people would still use normal straw rolls for exploration purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvi Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I like the idea of a permanent or at least % sleeping space. Let it lose like 5% durability or something.And while we're on topic of tent, please igloo for winter. Pretty please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QShadow Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I have to admit, I rearly use the tent, and when I finally do, its for cosmetic purpose.I really liked it when you could change between the chars, but as alredy said, that was a bit OP.

Sarcosuchus Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 There was no talk about switching back to the old use. The idea was to make it into a permanent strawroll we need to repair.I know, I was just bringing it up just to mull over the evolution of the tent a little. Talking to myself, really.Anyway, a reusable sleeping bag would definitely be nice. To repair it, maybe you could make patches or something out of silk, then apply them to the tent to repair its durability. Each tent might have a limit to which you could repair it, like three applications of patches, then no more fixes. As in, the tent appears in three different levels of patched-ness, until finally, you just have to rebuild it, since the tent can't really be fixed anymore. Each --> stands for an application of patch, and a restoration of durability, but a reduction of sleep quality/ So lower the patch tier of the tent, the hungrier/colder/less sane you are when you wake up.

Alvhem Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Tent, when used it restores:+50 HP+75 sanity-25 hungerHas 100% durability.Sleeping in it takes it down 20% and the only way to repair it is with silk, and each piece restores 10% durability.And if it reaches 0% it will break permanently.That is the tent i want.

Avarice Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Walls and Turfs don't count? Nah, turf makes good fuel/roads, and walls are good to setup traps for gobblers and hounds. :)The tent however is completely worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developer Kevin Posted February 23, 2013 Developer Share Posted February 23, 2013 Aw, no love for the poor tent. Maybe if it had a couple of uses before it fell apart? Sleeping too much is now a bit dangerous because you have to get a lot done before winter, so that wouldn't be as OP.Good thing we have a couple of updates left for tuning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
