If you can't handle sitting for 30 seconds, you really chose the wrong game. Having to run back or build a new structure for rested would be tedious. Placing a campfire for a quick buff is not.
Dropping a portal and going back to base for the full 25 minute rested bonus is actually less tedious than dropping a campfire every 8 minutes for the same amount of work.
Also, the amount of time I have to sit is irrelevant. Forcing the player to sit around for any length of time doing nothing is bad game design. Making this change without adding more sources of comfort only serves to waste the players time.
Both of you and Mr. X are the exact opposite of helpful. Consider silence as an alternative to the useless white noise you're posting.
Maybe players should meditate on what a proper use of their time actually is, instead of playing video games and bearing a cross on the forums. The player has to stop and rest to gain a rested bonus? Nah bad game design.
A word on the carpet nerf from a Developer.A brief note on the carpets:
It was never intended that each individual carpet would increase the comfort score, so altering this is merely fixing something that was overlooked previously.
As it stands, the earlier max comfort would give you a rested bonus of 30 minutes, which is a full in-game day and night. Now it gives you 25 minutes, which is still a full day and part of the night. If you visit your base to sleep nightly, you will not actually notice the decrease of the timer.
Rest assured, there will be further items added later in the game that will increase your comfort again, this is merely making room for that! :)
Maybe the devs need to open a charity to send diapers to their playerbase.
