Try it out in RL and it won't work either. well... unless you sit directly onto the flames.

It crashed the same way before, even on stable branch and about the loot: I think it finally is leveled. It was way too easy to get stuff and the way it is now, it's more of a survival.

Had and still have the same problem (since 0.50 to now 0.52 experimental) but esc alone doesn't work for me. In my case I need to go to the videosettings to get a clear screen again.

I had the same bug but it worked before the first server restart. After that it was not possible anymore.

Yes, you get the status "completely soaking" but if you look in your inventory, you will see, it is only your footwear and pants, which is kinda logic. wring them out and the problem is solved.

While I'm always searching for persistence enabled, this would indeed be a handy feature. sameway as maybe sorting out the private servers?
nice idea imo...

you can already tell the time aslong as the sun is up and during night noone cares about the time. but a servermessage for when the restart is or a warnig would be awesome! one upvote for you sir!

what you need is a garden hoe or a shovel. pickaxes have their logical function already, which is getting stones out of bigger rocks.
