dub_gaming Posted 19 hours ago Report Posted 19 hours ago I think an interesting world setting that could be added (and apologizes if this has been suggested before) would be to have your respawn point be relative to where you died instead of going all the way back to where your actual spawn point is. this way you could explore far distances without having to worry about losing all that progress from a single death. just thought this would make exploration more interesting! 1

I don't think this would be a very good fit for the game given how the respawn system already works, why it's designed that way, and the fact that there's already a device that allows one to return to their last point of death with ease. Respawning is a powerful ability, as is picking one's spawn point; I don't see how a player could respawn near their last point of death and still be able to set a spawn point elsewhere. Aside from the potential coding issues, it's also a definite risk of getting the player stuck in a death loop somewhere. While having to run back to one's death point might be inconvenient, or in some cases impossible, the static respawn point does allow the player a safe spot to recover and continue playing as normal. As for exploring far away, yes, that can be risky, but that's also why the player should be more cautious when they intend to travel far from home. Taking a temporal gear or two along to set a new spawn point is a good idea as well if death is a big concern--a player can store up to three gears on their elk. For late game options, building the terminus teleporter will allow the player to teleport to their last point of death, for the cost of one temporal gear. However, if you'd really like to try this sort of thing, the good news is that a mod for it already exists! I'm not sure how well it's working on the latest game version though, so you'll want to test it out on a trial world first both to make sure it works properly, and that it's a feature you actually enjoy enough to play with. https://mods.vintagestory.at/reborn 1
