various suggestions

[hexed plume]

some of this could well be implemented or planned and I have just haven't noticed yet ... also some may not be worth any trade-off in performance

• having a marker and a paper map should allow you to draw freehand on the map, marking locations as searched, adding notes as to what is where, etc.

• when you have the GPS powered and equipped you should be able to add locations to the map, and have the GPS beep to notify you when you're within X feet of marked location

• GPS could potentially stop working similar to power and water since satellites are obviously not being maintained

• spray paint can caps should be the color of the spray paint within

• when a door with a window is locked I should be able to break the window to reach inside and unlock the door, perhaps at a risk of cutting myself on the broken glass

• alarm clock - instead of choosing hours, I should sleep until I am rested, unless I have found an alarm clock with a working battery, that I can then set to wake me up a certain time with whatever my tiredness stat is at alarm time

• splitting stacks ... rather than type a number in, allow me to use the mouse wheel to scroll the qty I'd like to split the stacks into, will just streamline the process

• when filling containers the capable containers should filter to the top (ie when filling at a kicken sink the insulated flasks, canteens, etc should filter to the top of the inventory listed rather than just be highlighted bold)

• the zoom function that the binoculars give you should be available by default IMO, and the binoculars should give you a much further view with an actual binocular view on screen

• checkbox next to each inventory item, with a Move/Take Selected Items option

just my 2/5 of a nickel for now ... tremendously enjoying the game so far ... great work

for the gps thing, that seems unlikely as it appears the zombie outbreak is very localised to this region, the regular fighter jet patrols suggest outside the area things are happening (relatively) as normal, so its likely resource is still allocated for maintenance of GPS for the rest of the world

stack splitting one is amazing, thats a really elegant solution to it imo

have not seen the fighter jet patrol yet. thats awesome. thanks

LOVE THIS, other great ones too

to add to this ... having a checkbox next to each inventory item, and then a Move/Take Checked Items option woul be much appreciated

I got real curious about the GPS thing so I just did some fractionally-assed research. It sounds like the satellites themselves would remain in orbit for significantly longer than their design lifespans (and significantly longer than a human lifespan), but the satellites rely on knowledge of their own orbits (because their orbits are not perfectly stable) and clock skew (because they're moving rapidly enough for relativistic effects to come into play) that are updated from ground-based observations. GPS is designed to degrade gracefully, so if those updates ceased, rather than failing outright it would become less accurate over time, though eventually it would become difficult if not impossible for a ground-based receiver to achieve a position fix. I'm having a hard time finding hard numbers on precisely how bad it would get and how quickly--some sources say the drift would be noticeable within a day and become so bad as to make GPS effectively useless (i.e. receivers would still get a fix but it would be off by tens or hundreds of kilometers) within a couple of days to a week, some say it would continue being usable for months. Nevertheless, like @chrome lintel points out, the fighter jet overflights suggest that the military is functional enough to still be staging those, so likely they're operational enough to keep GPS online as well.

...anyway thank you for coming to my ted talk
