VR is so fun to get immersed in so a cooking station / portabe stove to make food with or more food items like canned goods water bottles or other consumables would be a nice touch to have rather than just eating chocolate, biscuits and sardines.
Like what about hunting for Anomaly animals or finding anomaly Vegetable / Fruit plants would change the exploration up if there was levels that are specific for these types of interaction say a larger foresty area with nature and anomalies merged into a thriving ecosystem that is ripe for exploration and research for the new types of food like faster growing plants stuff like that, basically eddable artifacs that the player can either eat or sell.
How cool would it be to encounter an Anomaly deer grazing on some distorted weird vegetable plant out in the zone while the player is hunting and surviving.
