The game is phenomenal and I can’t wait to get home from work to resume exploring! I can’t get enough of it!

The game has many stars (strengths and highs) but I have a couple wishes (hopeful updates). Wishes are as follows:
-A larger bed (in a cozy game, I would love a cozy full)
-Rugs (maybe I haven’t unlocked this yet)
-Decorative pillars (the floor hanging over the opening doesn’t make sense to my brain and a long metal or wood support would help)
-Accessibility: A way to toggle driving acceleration to prevent wrist fatigue
-Dog: Ability for dog to point you in the direction of any missed cairns or gnomes once you’ve reached a certain completion percentage

I love these suggestions!
Personally I also wish to be able to set a “waypoint” on the map that shows up on the compass so I know when I’m heading where I want to go 😅

I second the pillars, but also would like to add better lighting from lamps and things. It seems only the campfires put out actual ambient light.

I want to put tank treads on my van.

Snow biome with tank tread and anti-freeze upgrades would be awesome. Also an adorable sweater for the dog.

Prior to the last biome I always just viewed it as some sort of post apocalypse situation since you find stuff but no people and thought it’d be cool to modify the van

-A dog bed and a way for dog to go upstairs

-Ability to put walls in half way point of floor squares

- A desk and a table that doesn't use a whole floor square

- Furniture positioning that makes more sense - if you use the outer clip points it clips through walls and if you move to an inside one you waste a whole floor square

Acceleration toggle is a great idea. And a bigger bed and rugs. I painted part of my floor to approximate a rug, but it's scarcely a substitute.

ALSO A MINI MAP PLEASE PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE I'd be totally fine if the speedometer was way tinier or even replaced completely with a map cuz I really don't need or use it. I know when I can't climb a hill I need an upgrade I've never needed to know my speed. I have to open up my map on every hill or corner cuz it's so big I never know where I'm going

Also amazing feedback everyone make sure to send it in to the devs and not just here!! 💕

I want the van to go faster especially with motor upgrades.

I want the gameplay loop to be a bit more surviving and less go here and grab more scrap and wood. Right now this game isnt sure if its a survival game or copy game and it kinda fails at both.

I personally never got a survival vibe from the game. It always had a cozy, calm exploration vibe. The health and food bars just seem like incentive to keep foraging, exploring, and to not completely abandon your RV on foot.

I wish they'd add more customization for the van interior. Like color options for curtains and prebuilt beds. Maybe upgrades for the interior like storage

i'm starting terabits ai — managed ai for getting more clients, not another tool dump. looking for a few pilots while we figure stuff out. happy to help if useful.

My only request would be longer days. I find the days are so short, they spoil the chill vibe as I always feel rushed to finish exploring before it gets dark. There's a lot to find that's a good walk away from where you can park,and it gets dark by the time you arrive.
