I will add in the skip time button on the next update. Thanks for putting so much time in it thats a great compliment in itself.

I think for the next version i will add in a little debugcheat menu for people who are interested in testing. Will probably launch that seperately on Discord.

Thanks again
That's awesome man!
And highly appreciated! :)
As is, if don't find a way to skip time currently, the MC wakes up at what, 8am, and goes to bed at 2:15pm after consumed all stamina otherwise. (ish, if doing activities to pass time) That's a LOT of sleep! ><

I saw someone else mention it. "Shortcuts" to get around the menus.
I didn't want to ask for too many things at once..
But I agree to some extent.. The menus themselves aren't "that" tedious",
but maybe a simple binding the <Backspace> to the "Return" button, will save some "wrist strain".
(back to previous sub-menu)
And avoid carpal tunnel syndrome for a couple more hours. ><
It'd go a mile towards menu comfort, until you get around to deal with that later down the line.
I wouldn't consider this a stressing issue though, as it's functional as is, especially for early stages.
There's a lot of other things that are more of a "pressing matter".

As for a debug menu. That feels like a sound idea for the time being, until things get a bit more fleshed out! :)

And trust me, I wouldn't have allowed myself spending that much time if I didn't see it as worthwhile. ><
So absolutely, it's a compliment towards your efforts and hard work! :)

Honestly, made me remember the college days being a paid external QA for games such as;
RA2, The Sims, D2, AVP and AVP2, to mention a few. ><

Looking forward to next version, to see what you can dish out! :)

Even with a slave, its impossible to get clean water and scrap, and do a quest. You run out of everything.

This is a weird one. But a tip never the less.
For some reason it has been working for me though.
First day, head right out and find the well.
Then scavenge once(this is likely all you'll be able to do)
If you get 3 water, you'll be fine.(on first day)
Otherwise, restart run, as it seems like the RNG gods will punish you for the rest of the run.

It's definitely something that needs balancing though, so I'm not making an excuse for it.

Clearly you have angered .

Joking aside, truly random outcomes with the water/scrap does mean that some players will get unlucky and be unable to progress the game.
There are different ways for the dev to handle this (or not handle it and let people suffer). I suggest implementing weighted random to the outcomes.
Something like:
If the player finds 0 units when scavenging, their next scavening attempt gets a +1 unit to the total results.

When using randomness in a single player game there can be a fine line between creating exciting unpredictability and making the game unplayble if you're unlucky.
