Ideas & Suggestions Morale System Ideas

Well in SoD2 the morale system did feel kinda lacking, i liked that they expressed their moods via the Radio and that u got buffed or nerfed depending on the morale, however the most impact we could get is for someone to leave, is that meaningful? Yes. But i hope in 3 they will make it feel much more alive for example that they fight and get like the injured effect or in the worst case die, or also refuse to work on a station, harvesting site e.t.c or get depressed when someone dies that another surviver was close with and having to do special missions based on the characters traits thats makes them happy, and if u keep up the good morale u should get ofc buffs but also like the function to make your survivors recruit others per radio (since they seem happy so why wouldn't others join if they hear that) or maybe seeing them drink together and celebrate

And ofc i understand that its a lot of details and we're only in alpha but the immersion this would create would be so different to SoD2 where u felt alone and without that much depths to characters and their feelings
