I don't like diseases, broken legs, bleeding, rats, leanto looting, brazier spamming, key stealing.

I

It's definitely added a lot, hasn't it.

There are waaaaay too many rats, and their agro range is waaaay to big. That's basically the only problem I have with the patch so far.

The number of rat spawns seem a bit excessive and key stealing seems pointless but other than that I like most of the changes.

Hopefully the rat thing is temporary so we can experience diseases because if it's not ut will get old fast. Mechanics that just add tedium with 0 benefit really shouldn't be added no matter how much fun they add on paper.

Guess the rats are to promote diseases spread, in order to kick off more paranoia, to scared people away from Providence so they can't get water from the Hudson, then they will have to build the water tank. More people building the water tank means faster complains if people has troubles. the concept of thirst also kick in faster... more treatment getting done leads to faster bug fixing and adjustments.
blah blah blah....

I like it for the most part! Can't wait to try all the new things

what's this about key stealing?

Yeah rats everywhere, so far i believe i've managed to avoid disease with bull run on rats, or that could be just chance I dunno. I only killed a couple dozen of em. I have no idea how to cure rat disease, if it gives random disease, or specific disease, can i KO myself with darkness to cure it? I dunno.

Rats give you 1 of the 4 diseases. I believe they are persistent unless you heal them. I believe they won't Kill or KO, they just get more and more annoying.

I've yet to see any rats. Are they only in the Darkness?
