• Up to 64x faster day / night cycle
  
• Rules for Hardcore t.b.d.

• Everything that can be held in hand
  
• Different materials react differently
  
• Uses "Bullet" physics SDk
  
• Calculated on server

• Mouse Acceleration issues
  
• Dexterity
  
• Freelook

• Growing plants
  
• Persistent to server
  
• Prototype to come earlier

• Cars / Trucks / Planes / Helicopters / Boats
  
• Upgradable components
  
• Similar approach as weapon attachments

• Existing barricading to full construction
  
• Allows players to create new structures
  
• Persistent to that server
