We need a non-DLC bed
In Progress
With the addition of food with the Apex update, this has made beds incredibly useful as a cheap means to pause your food needs.
When compared to what is needed for a non-DLC player which is to build a large refinery and refine silver to produce the medical components for a cryo pod, there is a significant gameplay advantage.
To be clear here, I'd love to see the base model bed (maybe even the small grid one too) become part of the base game, not remove this function of beds. I love that beds can keep you safe while offline, I just want everyone to be able to use it :)
I like this feedback
Not sure yet if I should make another post for this, but for those wondering as was pointed out by chibionicat on reddit, the dispenser is also a DLC only item that gives you a significant starting advantage. You can buy clang cola from it with your starter cash and have an extra nearly 5 hours of worry free time from food - but clicking on all those cans would be a pain, so I don't think this one is really viable.
The bed thing mostly came up for me because I was thinking about new players and how nice it would be to encourage them to use a bed if they're starving, already have their algae farms built and just waiting till that sun hits them.

I wouldn't be opposed to making the bed free to all players. It's really just coming down to a slight inconvenience of having to grind your survival pod, build a cryo, wait, and then rebuild it so you can still respawn/heal. This would only ever be useful in the 1st hour of gameplay, and is arguably not necessary, but the function of the bed is not DLC-exclusive.

Keen, please include the normal bed and the small grid bed into the base game.
I myself have all the DLCs, but the fact that not everyone has access to bed is sometimes limiting me.
It's the one non-DLC block I want to add to custom respawn pod. I don't mind including decorative DLC blocks in custom pods, as people will be able to easily replace them if they break them, but a bed just can't be replaced. I don't want to add cryo chamber, as it requires medical components to function, and I don't want to provide starting pod with extra components for easier start, but for a balanced start I want to provide a pressurized environment and a bed.
