[Suggestion] Furniture uses and Shared Exp bonuses

9 votes

Do to some players play styles being more passive and farming/home building, What about making the Chairs, tables, Trophies, etc. having an effect of +Shared Exp for players inside the Sheltered area. this way their Exp Gains would scale better with their friend hunting and gathering nearby.

I really like this idea. They NEED to give those items a purpose to spend blueprint points to unlock them more than just for looks. Even if it gives you the same resting status effect as sleeping in a bed but I'de much prefer a specific bonus to the chairs. I like the shared xp buff idea. Since it would increase your crafting items xp rate in your base and give players more reason to build a HOME rather than try to do the cave hop meta of the betas (thank god for cave worms fixing that mostly.)

I wish I could upvote this more.

Now that I think of it, since you can only get the rested buff after sleeping and your limited to only sleeping at night then why not a shorter duration resting buff that you can get anytime throughout the day by sitting on furniture? If your rested buff wears off from sleeping you can go back to sit on a chair and get another buff before it turns 18:00 when you can sleep again. That would be a good implementation for the furniture.

But I like Snoochy's idea here too, reminds me of Valheim's system a lot.

Like sitting on the chair furniture should give you 300 seconds of;

Well Rested (Status Effect)

+10% Maximum Health
+10% Health Regeneration
+5% Maximum Stamina
+5% Stamina Regeneration
-5% Food Consumption
-5% Water Consumption

300 seconds is a lot less than actually sleeping.

And a chair we could sit on would be nice, even prospectors gotta take a load off once in a while..

Finally Rage's suggestion of adding in Warm Beds for more Fur related recipe options is a nice idea too. That would be a nice tech tree unlock item crafted in the Carpentry Bench. Maybe it gives a longer lasting well rested buff than the lesser beds/bedrolls.
