[Expanding the Sandbox Options]

I was playing again today, and I found myself wishing for these all again.
And I added some more ideas.

[Allow Cleaning of Things DIRECTLY in Sink]

For some reason you can't clean rags in the sink, you first have to fill a bottle, then use the bottle to clean the rags with that (at like 12 at a time). It's an annoying process.

Could we please have a way to clean directly from the sink?

Befor adding more Options to Server Files i would like to see the already existing one's be better explaint what they do exactly.

Yes, there are a few missing tool-tips that I also wonder about.

[Option to turn off weather effects while inside]

Things like this fall under Accessibility Options and should always be included in a game that wants to cater to the biggest audience. So I am giving this a big thumbs up from me.

 

Other common options include Color Blind Mode and Subtitles. Subtitles are tough to pull off for directional sounds, but Minecraft has subtitles for nearby sounds and that works like a charm.

[Expanding the Sandbox Options]

Suggestion Description : Additional Options in the Sandbox setup menu to provide more varied game-play to those who want it.

 

Suggestion Reasoning : How you choose to play says a lot about you as a player... and then there are people who create lets plays of self made challenges.

The best way to enhance play for everyone who uses the sandbox mode is to expand on the options available to them for more variety and interesting game-play variants.

 

Suggested Additions Sorted By Sandbox Category Sections

 

Population -

Zombie Distribution should be split into the following multiple options to allow for more varied zombie spread.
Urban - very high, high, normal, low, very low, random
Rural - very high, high, normal, low, very low, random
Wilderness - very high, high, normal, low, very low, random

 

World

Change Power and Electric Shutoff options from drop downs to text input and allow range (#-#) inputs to allow for random day ranges. So 5-10 would have water shutting off between 5 and 10 days, 0-100 could happen at any time from day 1 to day 100. And allow single number non-ranges to set an exact date for shutoffs.

Chance of Snow - 0-100

Sadistic AI Director -
Helicopter, Meta and Sleeping Events should all add a "rare" option for in between the sometimes and never options.

So what do you think? Add your own to this thread!!!

[Crafting UI lacks global recipe search]

It would be great also to be able to search by material used inside recipes and not just by recipe title. So if I typed in Plank, all recipes that include a plank would come up.
