The idea is something I mentioned on the discord within the mod channel a few days back very briefly. Personally, I think this one belongs in the mainstream game suggestions. I still love playing this game. I can't help but feel this has almost infinite replayability but it's how to achieve it. So.. We need a points system, based on every action you take (and the length of time you manage to survive for.) Handicaps and bonuses to the resulting score based on your character's sandbox setting values. The harder it is by each individual setting, the better your score will be. When you die, your score accumulates across your Steam ID. As your score progresses, you can unlock official skins, textures, base parts and vehicles that are exclusive to play on an official unmodded server. Or you can use them in your own. Points are never spent, just accumulated, allowing for a leader board of sorts. I can't help but feel like the score should *only* apply once the character has become deceased. Forgive me though, I don't play online so I don't know exactly how that works. You could even put new content in exclusively behind this to 'early access' some things from the next updates. Also you can have the game allocate the player a random destiny. It could turn out you are awarded your character destiny for installing 25 car batteries, or dismantling 100 lamps for example. But the game won't tell you what you need to do. Big score bonus for achieving that!!

Hi all Perma-death games are harsh, but I become very fond of the challenges inherent therein. PZ is no different. One thing that I think it can really do with, though, is a high-score list. Nothing too complicated; the following would be very useful to have: name of charactercause of deathsurvival timezombies killedfavoured weaponinfection statusThe overall ranking would be based on survival time (longest being highest), as this is the whole point from the get-go. As this information should, theoretically, be able to be stored in a small file, it would be really cool to have the top 100. I've attached a mock-up of what it might look like in-game. Without the impractical method of having your stats-screen open on death and taking screenshots as you die, you lose all this info. Even if you play like this, there is no way of keeping all of these details that I know of. All the perma-death games I developed an undying love for have this feature. It allows users to reflect on previous games, challenge themselves to do better and remember the greats. Sincerely jinjan

I would love to see a high score mod that you can see how many zombies you have killed as well as the longest you have lived, favorite food (most food) you ate, most mood were in, favorite weapon, ect. I am not sure if this has already been suggested but I think this would really add to the replayability to the game.
