I agree. I played this a lot a while back, and eventually it got a little boring and I was hoping there would be addons that would make the experience better. I think someone should make a version 2 of this addon, adding more tools, goals, and items. You could possibly even add things like blueprints that allow you to build simple bases without having to deal with the kinda buggy and annoying phys gun building.

Well, this gamemode wasn't having any content updates since 2013.
I want to make a different version of this gamemod, really. But there is some issues: First of all - I'm being lazy a bit. Another problem is that I'm not yet sure what exactly I want it to be like.
I definitely want it to have different languages support and some kind of easy modding support, I do belive those two features would allow more player to enjoy the gamemode.
Also, some kind of PvE combat would be nice I guess, like zombie invasions at night, which will force you to build fortifications and defend your house? Guess this should be optional feature, since not everyone may like survival gamemode being turned into PvE zombie survival.

About blueprints - I do enjoy that physgun building style, so I'd rather use advanced duplicator 2 with consumptions of required resources. In fact I already have this functional on current stranded version.

P.S. Even with limited modding ability of current gamemode - you can add more tools/goals/items/recipes/workbenches and share those through workshop.
P.S.S. I really, really, hate doing UI.

Honestly, I would do it my self as well but I don't know how to code even remotely.

Though I might be doing it anyway with the help of a friend.
If you'd like to add anything to it I'm making a steam group for it.
Feel free to message me.

Worth mentioning, if you are not going to make it from scratch:

Btw, not sure if you know about this or not, but there is totally different Stranded gamemode exist, though it's unavailable on workshop: https://github.com/zpetty33/GMStranded

Also, it seems, someone else is already working on new survival gamemode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jilBVruEq7M

Though sadly I'm not a Rust fan :|

Yeah, I already know about grust, thats why I wanna continue on stranded. as i find stranded to be a better Idea.
