instead of having bleeding damage the specific body part which is bleeding have bleeding slowly lower your total blood which would cause dizziness or fainting. ---

Sounds good 😃 . I am all in for realism… especialy if it adds to difficulty :P. So blood just replenishes itself i guess if your well fed. Hm if we do this how about we also enable our avatar to do a blood transfusion… replenish his blood reserves… from uh hospital storage… or stolen from unconcious people. Maybe also add some bloodsucking enemies. ---

Spawning next to a Swamp can indeed result in imediat “fun” ;D I myself am not against adding even more fun to that scenario but i also understand the need to somewhat tame the earlygame challenge. Maybe add some more gatherable resources to the swamp so tougher enemies within aren t totaly turning away players … hm and maybe tweak the world gen so that death doesn t spawn on people at theire starting location :3 ---

Yeah, reworking blood seems like a really good idea. I am not sure how “fleshed out” the stomach idea that is currently being developed is, but I guess something similar could make sense. A total “blood count” that gets somewhat reduced every time you get hit, and a lot reduced when you are bleeding/heavily bleeding. Low blood count results in dizziness and maybe even fainting. While a too low blood count will result in death through bloodloss. Blood count is slowly increasing up to a cap while the player is not bleeding. This also opens space for a “anaemic” and “much blood”(?) trait, respecitvely reducing max blood count or increasing it. The more I think about it, the more awesome it sounds. ---

Although mosquitoes aren’t that significant in terms of blood, I would love an “itchy” effect. This could open the door for antihistamines, and stuff to treat nausea for certain traits and foods. ---

Much blood trait- Your body produces more blood than necessary making blood loss just a annoyance but you also are more likely to bleed. Blood everywhere!!! ---

Collect your blood in bottles and then DRINK IT. Nah not really, but that could be a way of ‘making’ your own bottled blood for the local masochist, and then perhaps blood could be used for crafting in some way or another. ---
