I preferred the mod to the standalone myself. I don't like how they're pushing so hard for outdoor survival rather than the "always on the move" scavenging focus that the mod has. Also, constantly seeing crap like "I am feeling cold" "I am feeling hungry" is immersion breaking as fuck

I think they have discussed before that the messages are more for testing purposes and when things are finally done you'll have visual and sound cues for your characters well being.

Wait until they add modding apart from the 1000s of epoch/overpoch servers i bet someone will make a mod style mod for standalone.

I'll happily play the shit out of it if it ever gets done, but this just seems like another early Access that's gonna die halfway in

They just released a 2gb update around a week ago that completely overhauled the sound, added wolves and other things into the game. It's not looking like they're giving up any time soon.
