General Discussion / Re: I want to nap rather than sleep + pets on the same tile

Control the degree of satiety and thirst to control the sleep time. This time can be actively adjusted. It is not difficult to adjust the sleep time required for different fatigue levels. Usually the inability to fall asleep in the wild and rain disturbs the law, but you can correct it with satiety and thirst. Rarely, ignoring hunger, thirst and fullness, fully recover from fatigue

Thank you. I can see it can work but it's a lot of bother for something we should be able to do without affecting our nutrition level.

If you are ready to drop and have a bit of coffee (bear pipe or mother pipe) before you go to sleep, you'll wake up in just a few hours, but not more than once every day or so.

it can help you fix your sleep schedule

Thanks, that's a good idea if desperate, it shouldn't be a healthy way to control your sleep patterns regularly, in fact caffeine addiction could be built in!

General Discussion / I want to nap rather than sleep + pets on the same tile

Maybe I'm missing some information because I have a couple of gripes.

If it's noon and I'm ready to drop I don't want to fall asleep then and wake at midnight. I'm not a nocturnal creature. I don't believe there's a way to just sleep for 2 or 3 hours, then do some activity until late evening and I'm fully tired again? You can interrupt resting but not sleeping? And resting does not renew even a little vigour. IRL when I sleep I can usually program myself to wake after roughly so many hours.

Also if I zoom in on a tile because I stumbled on prey and my pack reindeer and dog appear on the same tile, if I use Chat I only get the option to 'name' an animal, there's no way to choose one of them (the dog) to issue an attack command). I have to waste a couple of turns sorting them out and by then the prey may have run off.

I'm on ver.3.62

Thanks if anyone has any help for me.

I'm afraid that unless;
You made a backup copy of the save folder, OR
You have regular backups of your system, OR
Have some windows features which allow un-deletion from the disks meta data.

The character is lost.

Thanks. Yes I believed so anyway. I had thought about backing up the character file manually a few days ago (I've done it years ago once with another character) but didn't, and I only regularly back up essential PC folders.

I don't like to back characters up because it's a temptation to avoid that bitter permadeath. I guess it's good actually that gone means gone.

I've downloaded File Scavenger to see if I can find the deleted folder, it will run now for an hour or so to check the 'C' drive. Might as well.

Meantime I';m running up a new character!

Hi all,

I'm a lifetime member and have played on and of for a lot of years. Thanks to Sami for this amazing game and his ever reliable support.

I want to ask anyone reading if I somehow can resurrect my character that I accidentally killed through suicide with the Q key, rather than drinking? I was distracted and missed the screen prompts saying I was killing myself.

I read you can hit F4 if you didn't get to the final screen, but I'd gone all the way before I knew this.

I'm prepared to use a simple PC file editor, but obviously the character's file has gone from the UnRealWorld folder. So I guess he is gone for good?

I'm a fan of permadeath games, but not dying like this!

Thanks for any help.
