Hi, I'd ask EW to consider the following QOL to COTW:
1 Pause game function - working as standard in Single Player Games. For Co-Op games, if needed, they can add a pause game vote for all players on the map, or with limits to how many pauses per session like Age of Empires but this might be overkill.
2 Add the ability/settings toggle to be able to start your current session from the same place on the map where you quit. This means you don't have to start from an outpost every time if you are exploring the map. As it works at the moment, say you're halfway between outpost you shouldn't really leave until you find your second outpost or the entire trip there is wasted/lost because next time you die or start game you will start at your first outpost.
Thanks!
