A couple ideas.

[formal yew]

I have a couple ideas that I think could improve the game.

1. Add back cops searching your place on time pass, so you can't just skip time when you see a cop.

2. Boxing up items for more compact storage that the cops don't see

Only one I don’t like is number two but other than that this is good

[formal yew]

Actually yea, I'll change that one

It has saved me so many times that why I don’t like it

Hey Ranger,

Thanks for the feedback!

Changing phases when the cops arrive can usually also mean you skip part of the phase, which cuts down on your crafting time in general. It's a valid strategy!

For boxing up items, it's kind of against the design. Item/space/time management is at the center of PBP, so making items easy to hide/group would remove part of the stress 😉

[formal yew]

On the box side, that's fair. But I feel like being able to completely skip having to hide items make having some items be legal pointless as you don't really have to hide stuff either way

[sharp hollow]

Totally understand what you mean.

But if you skip every time a cop comes, you won't be crafting much 😅

It's choosing between hiding stuff and getting a bit more time or cutting it short without having to hide items

They usually come at the end of the night

And the night ends not long after the cop comes through

I think I remember cops being on a timer from the start of a phase, but the range of when they can spawn is pretty large

If they always come late, we might need to check our stuff and make sure the range is respected

[vapid sonnet]

Not always. most of the times

I had a cop coming to my shop in the middle of the night and I rage quitted because I thought they only come at the end of it
