  Sleeping should make it so stuff smelts, cooks, crafts and sicknesses should go away but you should also wake up with low food water and o2 if you dont have a tank

  The mission clock shows the same time before and after sleep. Therefore, sleep does not reduce the prospector mission time.

  Could this include sleeping through weather events?

  Right. The storm event do not follow the sleep mechanism. If I go to sleep to skip the night the storm does not go away.

  When you sleep for the night nothing changes in time, like ores being smelted are approximately the same amount done, buffs applied are still there, cooking meat isn’t any further, and weather events are still going strong, can we get time to pass in all those, you are sleeping a maximum of 12-13 hours and can only sleep at night so other things should progress while you are “sleeping” hunger and water should also go down, if there is a life threatening event like 02 getting too low or food and water too low it could kick you out of sleep to address the issue and let you get back to sleep.

  When a storm is coming or when you put raw food on fireplaces, you go to sleep and the storm stays in the same place of the weather timeline, while the food is still in the same state.
  
  I think the cooked food and the fuel resources can be calculated by the hours slept at night.
  
  Meanwhile, a random destruction in houses could be good for storms while sleeping, making you being awake till storm passes while repairing, It's just a suggestion.

  I personally like how the mechanic is currently working. I like that time passes instantly leaving everything in tact as it was when I went to sleep.

  Storm should not be at the exact point when you wake up as it was when you go to sleep.

  I only agree with the idea if your shelter will not take damage from the storm. You shouldn't have a "Get out of Storm" free card.
  
  Maybe sleeping causes a 5x speed boost to time, but if your house starts taking damage, you wake up,ike you normally would if your house was falling apart around you.

• 14 Dec, '21
  Roballistic Merged

  Agree with GUY on this, but everything, such as refining ore should happen through the night as well as probably others.

• 17 Dec, '21
  Panerdar Merged

  So far the only shelter that takes damage is wood or thatch and would be fine with it keeping you awake if your bldg is falling down around you. Dumb that nothing changes while you sleep other than the time of day. Anything in a crafting queue should utilize that time and dumb for storm to be at the same exact point as it was when you went to sleep 6 hours before.

  I wish they would fix this. If we are lucky enough to get a storm during the sleeping hours, we should be able to go to sleep and have the storm be gone when we wake.

  This is more a bug rather than a suggestion I suppose, but I feel that storms should pass or progress the amount of time you sleep. A storm has started, I have gone to sleep, woken up at 7:00am and the storm had not progressed at all it was still at its beginning.

• 30 Dec, '21
  Bjorn Merged

  If the storm would continue would you expect the regular amount of storms to happen in the night while you sleep, rip your thatch/wood house apart and wake you up? Could be cool, but quite a different angle to take.

  Time needs to pass UNIVERSALLY for all things when going to sleep.
  When you cook something, or start crafting, if going to sleep advances 8 hours, everything should process in those 8 hours, the cooking done, the crafting complete, the crops have grown, the weather has moved forward 8 hours, etc.

  I've run several prospect days without sleeping at all, just haven't hunted enough to get all materials needed for sleeping bag. I suggest that this should make me more fatigued or fatigued faster. Lack of sleep should also make me slower and weaker, not able to carry as much.
  
  I agree with the others that sleeping should allow time to pass and that you should wake up hungry and thirsty (lower all stats). I could see where oxygen is not used as much, as sleeping is less strenuous.

  Actually, you this for you own advantage. If there is a storm, wait for it to end and then sleep. This way, you'll wake up with a clear weather. And use the night to work at your benches while you're out gathering stuff during the day. Go to sleep a few minutes before seven for the buff benefit.

  Here me out here, i have over 300+ hours into this game and i love it. me and my friends pretty much play for hours every night since it was released. but one thing that gets on my nerves is that if you go to sleep at night durning a storm you wake up still in that storm, so if you go to sleep at night and wake in the morning, that time has passed right? well should'nt the storm have passed as well?

• 19 Feb, '22

  So that wind storm lasted for 13 hours huh?....All storms should pass over the time you sleep. Its very immersion breaking to go to bed during a storm, only to wake up hours later and the same storm is going.

• 22 Feb, '22
  Leonidas Merged

  But what do you do with the damages done by the storm ?
  The thing i'm ok with is that sleeping doesn't do anything but to pass time, storms are not affected, but also food, water and oxygen are not moving while sleeping, which also isn't really helping immersion

• 22 Feb, '22
  Vapok Merged

  I'm okay with this suggestion, and also ok with the implied idea of having sleep use food, water, and oxygen..
  
  But more importantly, even without all of these, I'd love at least a little "break" when sleeping. It's jarring to lay down and immediately get back up and suddenly it's morning.
  
  Even minecraft has a 5-10 second black screen and some music that passes.
  
  Valhiem also has a sleep mechanic that DOES cause storms and other actions to speed up, but doesn't cause food/buff drain.
  
  Not saying Icarus has to be like other games, but the sleep mechanic is really fast, and really jarring.

  I think it would be nice and realistic if you go to sleep during the storm, the storm passes after a night of sleep, just like it would in real life. It removes a bit of immersion when it's night, a wild storm brews in which makes you want to have a good night sleep so you can continue your work outside your base in the morning after the storm has passed, but the storm doesn't move an inch even after an 8 hour sleep. It has become a bit frustrating after 200 hours of gameplay and takes me out of the game a bit. A small detail but would make the game more immersive and realistic.

  Why is it that when you sleep for say 8-10 hours, you wake up and the Storm is in exactly the same position as before you slept. Same with Furnace progression, Food cooking progression, etc ?
  
  Its like time stands still during sleep - which is ridiculous.
  
  This is really quite a bad bug in the game and should be addressed.

  if there is a storm and you will sleep, it continues as if no sleep time has happened. It would be nice that time will run forward while sleeping and storms will pass by

  Other than storms, I agree. Storms should continue to rage on. Sleep shouldn't be a quick shortcut to avoid storms.
  HOWEVER, if storms are bypassed, it should quickly run through the damage process and apply all the damage to buildings, structures, deployables, etc. as it would have if you watched it go by without repairing.

  @NfiniT#5890 - Or simply dont allow you to sleep during a storm.

  I must say it’s weird to sleep and see that the food/ores didn’t smell as intended.
  The fact that you can fast forward the weather is a great addition too, but don’t forget that in that case the house could brake while you sleep.
  
  For the spoiling I don’t think it’s a good idea.
  You must go « far » in the game progression before unlocking the icebox that can keep your food without spoiling.
  But without it your food (at least I experienced that) don’t stop to spoil.
  If it spoil while you sleep then you gonna wake up with no more food to eat.
  
  Anyway with the cooking/smelting I’m 100% with it.

• 03 Jul, '22

  Seems reasonable that if positive activities/actions progress while we're sleeping (e.g., smelting, cooking, storm passing), then the potentially detrimental activities/actions should as well, such as new storms passing by, house taking damage, food spoiling, etc. Any disconnect of positive and negative effects runs counter the the immersion goal, reason and logic.
  
  That said, it is a game that sends us to a planet in a high tech vessel, and, yet, we have to craft prehistoric stone implements until we're able to earn the currency to buy them at the station (i.e., it's a game, so logic need not always apply).

  I find sleeping should just be removed, not only does it allow you to bypass the need to have to face danger at night and use torches but now everyone wants storms to pass, food to cook, ore to smelt in an artificially induced fast forward of time. It would basically be cheesing the game every few hours of play to get things done quicker and easier. I get why everyone wants it, just think that it negates the whole idea of the game principles.

  I suggest that the characters are unable to sleep while a storm is passing (and also then wake up if weather comes through) but crafting can continue. Best of all worlds.

  Agreed. If the planet moves while we sleep why not everything else?
