Guard shifts and sleep
I wish that there was a way to rest throughout the night. It’s one thing if you are out and about and it gets dark. You still have to complete your quests. However, starting a quest in the dark seems a little too risky. (looking at it from a realistic standpoint)
this is allowed because we implement a guard shift schedule. For standing guard. In case your base gets hit by zombies. This would require more strategy for finding survivors that are rested enough or healthy enough to pull a guard shift. depending on the population we could adjust times on guard.
when the population is low, we can spend resources to set traps to wake up survivors. (noise pollution would be lower with smaller populations. so less risk of attacks from zombies, and low resources for smaller communities is unappealing to survivors who want to rob you.).
This also allows less processing, because your cap of survivors walking around is limited to who is on guard for so many hours.
