Discussion about what items you may embark with
So, I just wanted to add here that I'm not sure about including certain items... especially items that "change everything", right from the start. For instance, I allow you to embark with a duffel bag but not a big hiking bag because that kind of leaves no further room for upgrade (and bags don't degrade/break). I try to create my mods with some sort of balance in mind so that they don't feel like cheating.

Someone in the comments asked for a sledgehammer, but I'm not sure about it. A sledgehammer is a HUGE deal - you can gain entry anywhere with one. Starting with one might be way too big an advantage. So it would feel a little like cheating. But I'll think about it.

you could add rare items too, but making them use up more points, after all, you'll find them eventually, and would have practically wasted those points, for example, maybe 3 or 4 points for a military backpack, or even more, it's rare, but not impossible to obtain, and you would rather spend those points on actual perks,but just having the option to start with one, would be nice IMO

Hey, can you please add a watch as an option?? I really, really hate not knowing the time, especially when you try and watch all the TV xp shows in the first 9 days

I can definitely do that - didn't think about it.
