[Suggestion] Sleeping Animation Transition

45 votes

There should be some animation when you sleep. Right now the timer just ticks 7:00 and there is no feeling of transition

Also, adjust player sleeping height on beds so we aren't sleeping under it.

We should auto-wake when everyone has slept, and it is now 7am. There is no obvious way to know it has triggered. There isnt even a sound when you have slept.

I've been wondering whether or not sleeping should advance any cooking, crafting, weather events, etc.

After all, if time is passing while we sleep, certain events should also advance...

id like to see that sleeping affects the in-game-time that passes by. if you go sleep when there is a storm outside its over when you wake up (maybe your home is damaged after that - its the risk you take), some more meat is cooked, some iron has been melted, your sickness is healed etc. at the moment it just feels like flipping a light switch, it doesnt feel like sleeping at all.

Agree! As of right now there is No passage of time - it only changes night to day in the blink of an eye. The same piece of meat you were cooking or the same piece of ore you were smelting is still cooking and smelting when you get up. I guess sleep on Icarus puts you in a time freeze protective bubble where time passes inside your sleep bubble but freezes outside it. When you wake from your time bubble everything resumes right where you left off. Weird Planet Indeed!

A good way to do this would be an animation similar to how you sleep in Farcry Primal. You lay down on your side, yawn and then the screen fades out. It basically does this in reverse when you wake up again.

I would hate for them to develop an animation and it slowly get annoying over time, I think you should just get out of bed and all of your stuff should cook/smelt a little bit.
