The material pouch is a busted item. Can't have it at the start and it is relatively easy to make. Once you take a moment to understand the crafting system, you will see how to get to that point quickly. Alternatively, you can rely on luck to get you some storage space from the crates. The drop storage items relatively frequently 

Landmines are the only acceptable thing to die from without question in the game, as they were specifically designed to kill. All the other traps (even the turret) were designed to debilitate, with the spike trap just being more lethal than the rest if you get unlucky. Based on what I've seen and experienced, spike traps are the only trap that can crit, and landmines always 'crit'.

Ok, good. That's fine at least. And while annoying, there is at least an in lore reason why the Expies specifically give up easily to their wounds. Maybe if they add different species to control, they will mirror their different mentalities as well

The Expies eyes glow in the dark, so it wouldn't be pitch black, but it being really dimmed on non-lit containers would be cool

That actually sounds like a good mechanic to add. That, if a Expie is panicked, they have an X% chance to drop items, or close out early from a minigame. That would be significantly better than the Expie being non-responsive AND losing it's chance for a last stand. I shit you not, the reason why I lost that Expie is because they resisted my commands FIFTY TIMES over the course of the bleed out. Roughly an entire minute of fighting the Expie that could have been used to save their life

So you would just sit there and die, if you were impaled with a spike, even if you had the medical equipment to save your life?

Can you nerf how a traps can affect mood? It's very strange for an Expie to be happy and jovial at 35 mood, then a single trap crits and suddenly the Expie just gives up the will to live at -75 mood. Mood doesn't change rapidly like that. I would understand it happening later and/or over time, when the wounds are aching, or hitting multiple traps over a short period of time, but in that moment it would be more of a desperate fight to survive. I should be only having to fight the Expie if I've been making many mistakes over and over again

Addendum: I hear that the second chance mechanic is tied to mood. If that is the case, then making traps hammer mood is antithetical to the being given a second chance, to the potential random bullshit the game can spontaneously sneak upon you

If you don't have spare batteries for them, your mad carrying that many. You'll be turned to paste if they all lose power.

Also, has anyone actually tested if they explode if you let the batteries run dry?

There are charging stations found from the third layer onwards. Just have to hold onto the batteries until then

Thank you

Well I wanted it baked into the game for purists who don't know, or want to know, console commands. That being said, how do you save with console commands so I can have shorter game sessions?

You have to be on top of the infection. Disinfectant doesn't stack, but also dissipates quickly. You might not even know that the infection is progressing if you become distracted. Also, becoming immune-compromised make it so the infection doesn't go down even with disinfectant. 

This game is awesome, but it has a few unpowered Grav Bags that weight it down. From in order of importance:

Please nerf water. It's WAY too powerful with how much force it exerts. I know it sounds weird, but make it more sticky so it doesn't move as much when there is only one tile deep of water. Also make it so that water loses momentum over time. It's kinda silly that water slowly gains momentum and eventually tosses the Experiment across the world and back.

Please allow for beginning of layer saves points. There could be any number of reasons why a player would need to stop mid layer. Too tired, power outage, having a spontaneous responsibility that needs to be done. I know that it could be used to save scum, so to counteract this, make it so that, if a player exits early, the health state of the Experiment stays when the exit happens, but the items go back to when the last save began. That way, a player couldn't just flee death by reloading a save, but can also keep their progress if needed.

A quality of life that would be nice to have is to be able to use backpack items without putting them on. An example would be the ripped duffel bag. You can use it in your inventory slot in the beginning, but then can't once it's repaired.

Experiments seem to be too weak? I don't know how big the Experiments are, but if you give them a some meds, two gauze, and a few tools, they act like a black hole has been place on their back. I don't know what a u is, but if it's anything like 2.2 pounds or a kilogram (since that is what you used to measure the Experiments weight), then their starting carrying capacity is insultingly low. Humans can carry a quarter of their weight comfortably without training. Experiments are also part animal, and animals generally have a natural strength buff, so Experiments should have around 20u starting strength, since they start at 50 Kgs.

Hunger drains too fast? Experiments loose weight extremely quickly. Muscles are very efficient when it comes to energy consumption. An example is jogging five miles only burns about a cookies worth of calories. Another thing is the negative effects of being underweight. The a healthy body isn't effected by losing weight until starvation (literally no fat remaining) which is about 70% baseline body mass. Then death doesn't start creeping around until 60% baseline body mass. If we use the 50 Kgs that Experiments start with, that means there wouldn't even be a negative moodle until 35 Kgs, and wouldn't suffer potential spontaneous death until 30 Kgs.

Other than that, this is a very enjoyable survival game. It's nice to have a more realistic health system to play around.
