Survival Update and Adding function to several ingame blocks

Hey Keen Staff!

This is my pitch at a future update. Many blocks and elements to make this update feasible are already in the game. Please don't let this fall on deaf ears. So many have been begging for an update like this.

Thank you.

-----------------------

The Survival Update

New Player Status Bars

New Threats

New and Repurposed Animations

New Blocks

New Block Functions

New Materials

New Consumables

New Images

New Particle Effects

--------------------

New Player Status Bars:

4 new status bars to indicate Hunger, Thirst, Sanity, and Well Being

Hunger - satiating Hunger by eating food adds minor health resilience

Thirst - satiating Thirst by drinking adds minor stamina

Sanity - satiating Sanity by using an LCD set to "Entertainment" or a bed adds minor performance increase (hand held welding, grinding, drilling, weapon accuracy)

Well Being - satiating Well Being by using the Toilet/Bathroom adds minor endurance to all status bars with some minor health regeneration

Failure to keep these status bars above 30% results in a decrease to all respective stats with appropriate degenerative status conditions. Failure to maintain Sanity, in particular, will result in incremental chance of incorrect commands in ship and grid controls.
